The Utopia Strong

Utopia Strong The Utopia Strong

The combined forces of Steve Davis, Kavus Torabi (Gong/Cardiacs/Knifeworld/Guapo) and Michael J.

York (Coil/Teleplasmiste/Guapo) have arrived at no less than a modular driven kosmische colossus of

transcendent power enough to drive all talk of green baize firmly into the blue yonder. With Davis'

modular geometry and ambient structures weaving with Torabi's keen and skewed sense of melody

and York's various gifts for pipes, drones and fevered abstract - the result is a beguiling tapestry as

likely to remind listeners of the countercultural benchmarks of Terry Riley, Cluster and Fripp/Eno as

the latervortex-voyages of Emeralds and Seefeel.
