Für eine neue Serie von Veröffentlichungen durchstöberten die Verantwortlichen im Hause Esoteric Recordings die umfangreichen Musikarchive von Todd Rundgren und stellten eine Auswahl mit Aufnahmen des Disco Jets-Projekts zusammen.
Die erste CD mit dem Titel "Disco Jets", mit Aufnahmen aus dem Jahr 1976, beinhaltet Stücke, die Todd Rundgren gemeinsam mit seiner Band Utopia aufgenommen hat. Sämtliche Stücke sind nun zum ersten Mal außerhalb Japans erhältlich. Inkl. Deluxe Booklet mit einem informativen Essay. Remastered.
Esoteric Recordings begin a series of releases drawn from Todd Rundgren’s extensive archive of recordings with the first stand alone CD release of the Disco Jets project, recorded in 1976 by Todd and his group Utopia, featuring John Siegler (Bass, Vocals), Roger Powell (Keyboards, Vocals) and Willie Wilcox (Drums). The Disco Jets sessions took place at Bearsville studios shortly after the release of Todd’s "Faithful” album and was a purely instrumental affair recorded "tongue in cheek” with sights firmly set upon the current trends of the time such as the US Bi-Centennial celebrations, Disco music, Science Fiction movies such as Star Wars and the CB Radio fad. Featuring some memorable soloing from Rundgren and Powell, the impressive ‘Space War’ and the memorable cover of the "Star Trek” theme, the Disco Jets project would languish in the vaults for several decades before appearing as part of a Japanese only compilation, now long deleted.
The Esoteric Recordings release of Disco Jets has been newly re-mastered from the master tapes and is sure to appeal to all Todd Rundgren and Utopia aficianados.
