''Utopia'' is the second of two self-titled albums by the rock group Utopia (the other being ''Todd Rundgren's Utopia''). It was released in 1982 (see 1982 in music). It was also their only album for Network Records. During the composing phase of this album, Kasim Sulton had left to pursue a solo career, and Doug Howard from the band Touch was brought in on bass. Howard co-wrote two songs on the album, "Feet Don’t Fail Me Now" and "I’m Looking at You But I’m Talking to Myself". These songs are credited to "Utopia and Doug Howard" on the finished album. Howard stepped aside when Sulton decided to return, and had no further involvement with the group. Videos and singles were released for "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" and "Hammer in My Heart". Footage for "Hammer in My Heart" was recorded live on August 18, 1982 at MTV's official first birthday celebration hosted by VeeJay Nina Blackwood. The song peaked at #31 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Both were featured on the VHS video release "The Utopia Sampler" nominated in 1983 for a Grammy for Best Short Form Video. The original vinyl LP was released with a 12" "bonus EP" of five additional songs which the later CD release simply includes as tracks 11 to 15 with no mention of the word "bonus". The five songs were repeated on both sides of the EP. ==Track listing (Vinyl)== BMI credits all songs to Powell/Rundgren/Sulton/Wilcox except: *"Feet Don’t Fail Me Now" and "I’m Looking at You But I’m Talking to Myself": Howard/Powell/Rundgren/Wilcox 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Utopia (Utopia album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
