Recorded at The SameTime (July 1972) atTheSame studio (Bavaria Studios, Munich) asAMON DÜÜL II `s well known andof their best efforts "Wolf City", Utopia wasA common project by AMON DÜÜL II producer and musician Olaf Kübler (saxophone, moog) and Düül bass player Lothar Meid. Using The synergy ofThe parallel sessions withThe Wolf City recordings, Olaf Kübler appreciated Düüls singer Renate Knaup-Krötenschwanz as singerof 2ofThe album tracks and Düül heads Weinzierl and KarrerOn guitar and violin. There is also A different version ofOnThe album. As Olaf Kübler reminds Deutsch-Nepal was originally planned To record only FORThe Utopia album. Musically Utopia has A lot in common with TheRecords "Wolf City" and "Viva la Trance" and slightly early Passport and Embryo influences. It's A very worthy and satisfying record with A hypnotic charisma. Originally released in December 1973. Remastered From original master tape and with Aof story. A masterpiece.

Track by track review:

The First track "What You Gonna DoA straight-ahead rocker with Renate Knaup singing with her nice and distinctive noise. "Wolf-Man Jack Show" is A weird song, with JIMMYJACKSON atThe mysterious "Choir Organ" (giving offA strangerSound than Mellotron choirs), which he actually utilizedOn many tracksTo good effect. The bass riff here is almost snatched straight From The BEATLES “ Come Together” played German style. One of The album highlights. "Alice" is A sweet LOVE song. The tune itself is care-free and up-lifting and has Lothar playing Mellotron flutes. It reminded of KEVIN AYERS . "Las Vegas" is A hippy-sounding jam with congas, jazzy sax playing and AA remakeofThe songofTheSame name of "Wolf City". It's HEAVY SoundSTRANGE voiceFrom guest Rolf Zacher makes it an excellent exampleof herb rock. "Utopia No. 1" is another hippy jam but features those searing organs From JIMMYJACKSON and Falk Rogner too, Olaf Kübler toying around withA Moog Synth and bizarre echoed vocalsFrom avoid Very lovely stuff. "Nasi Goreng" is A Hammond-heavy instrumental with strong melodies and light oriental moments. It reminds A lot To Viva la Trance "The trees are blooming in the crater". "Jazz-Kiste": probably The master-piece composition ofThe album starring PASSPORT'sChristian SchulzeOn electric-piano and Embryo's Edgar Hofmann playing amazing 'wah-wah' soprano sax almost troughout.
