Returning to solo recording almost immediately after forming Utopia, Todd Rundgren continued with the synth-heavy prog rock he pioneered with Todd Rundgren's Utopia on Initiation. The differences immediately resonate with "Real Man," a terrific song that encapsulates not only his newfound fondness for electronics, but also his burgeoning spirituality and his knack for pop craft. "Real Man" is so good, it's tempting to believe that the remainder of Initiation will follow in the same direction, resulting in an inspired, truly progressive fusion of classic Rundgren and synthesizers. As soon as the second track, an a cappella vocoder opus called "Born to Synthesize," it's clear that Rundgren has no intention of following that path, choosing to push the limits of synth technology and recorded music instead of constructing an album. Initiation suffers accordingly. At times, particularly on the first, song-oriented side, it is pretty intriguing, but too often, the results are simply frustrating because it doesn't go anywhere. That's particularly true with "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," a half-hour "suite" that comprises all of side two and doesn't really go anywhere, despite hitting many stops along the way. It's enough to erase the memory of "Real Man," "Eastern Intrigue" and "Initiation," the moments where it all comes together on the first half of the record, but another spin of the first side reveals that Rundgren could have made Initiation something special if he had the discipline.

The Times called Ben Sidran the first existentialist jazz rapper. BLUE CAMUS, the follow up to DONT CRY FOR NO HIPSTER, moves Ben Sidran further in that direction where jazz meets poetry, philosophy and politics, combining ready grooves with big ideas and a sense of humor. Many of the songs are direct tributes to philosopher / writers of the 20th century: 'The King of Harlem' is for Federico Garcia Lorca; 'Blue Camus' is for Albert Camus famous Stranger , and 'A Is For Alligator' is a tribute for George Orwell s 'Animal Farm'.

Avere qualche anno dietro le spalle comporta aver vissuto vite diverse, in qualche modo essere state persone diverse. Per un musicista è anche possibile, come nel mio caso, aver attraversato periodi musicali stilisticamente molto differenti tra loro. Questo lavoro discografico è per me un piccolo tuffo nel passato. Edoardo Nordio ideatore, compositore dei brani originali e leader di questo progetto, in possesso evidentemente di un'ottima memoria, mi ha voluto coinvolgere per avermi ascoltato suonare nei primissimi anni 80 una musica ispirata a un particolare periodo della "Fusion", quello che tra gli anni 70 e 80 è stato portato avanti da gruppi e musicisti come Jeff Lorber, Dave Sanborn, The Crusaders, Spyro Gyra, Grover Washington Jr, una musica sofisticata e semplice al tempo stesso, solare e ricca di Groove.

From a prog standpoint, this is one of Todd Rundgren's best albums. In fact, if you don't count the albums recorded under the "Utopia" band name, this is his most progressive. The least progressive track on the album is Real Man. And while it has many aspects of Todd's pop songs, it has a sophistication that should make it a pleasing listen for a prog fan. Born To Synthesize, performed with heavily treated vocal tracks, is a great intro to The Death Of Rock And Roll a great hard rock song, with a few cool twists.
