Todd Rundgren - Initiation

Stuart鈥檚 featured album is Todd Rundgren鈥檚 epic Initiation which in 1975 somehow crammed 67 minutes worth of music onto a single album.

Roll up, roll up, for all the fun of the Freak Zone fair. Win a gold fish on the 60s British jazz coconut shy, take a ride on the Finnish prog dodgems, and do your best to hook a Italian dark metal duck. Plus if you visit the Hall of Mirrors you might find the likes of Wire, Can and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

Plus in the Tunnel of Love (formerly known as the featured album) Stuart is playing Todd Rundgren鈥檚 1975 epic Initiation which in 1975 somehow crammed 67 minutes worth of music onto a single album. Stuart calls it a "sprawling synthy art pop masterpiece" and who are we to disagree?
