weird



I never really put the two together. This was his attempt at just seeing how far he could take pop music and progressive music as a whole, as well as see what he could do in the studio. No exact concept to be found as far as I know.

Like a good majority of this album was a result of him messing around in the studio.

It was only, not sure if it got me excited about listening to the album, but it didn't bore me

again, that's the only song from that suite that even resembles a complete song



like everything else from it (which is entitled international feel in 9/8 i think) are just fragments to create a single piece



side two is more song-based

probably going to rewrite this along with his other albums, simply because this review is pretty baaaaaaaaaaaad

so essentially from "Runt" to "Healing", as well as the first Utopia album. Maybe the Nazz albums if I get to them.

that would be great Fripper, I am a late arriver to Todd, the albums anyway, and yes those seem to be the best of the bunch although I like a lot of the Utopia albums
