With 3 keyboardists at hand UTOPIA definitely takes some cosmic twists and turns here with some lovely progressive tendencies. This album offers it all... some fantastic melodies, some wild frenzied moments, lots of cosmic symphonia all encased in 3 epic tracks. Side two is essentially a 30 min epic called "The Ikon" which to this day still represents one of my many beloved epic tracks. Without a question this album showcases the more experimental side of Todd Rundgren blending in elements of Frank ZAPPA with perhaps the aura of KANSAS and bits of YES for good measure.
