A psychedelic electronic music trio born of the unlikely meeting of snooker legend Steve Davis with Kavis Torabi - current frontman of space prog giants Gong - and Michael York, of Coil (amongst many other incredible credits), The Utopia Strong has for the past few years been a constant and regular source of joy on the turntable. Here they tell the story and some more, enjoy!
If you liked this, maybe even found ideas of records to get, and want to tip your host & support the channel to do more of the same - and better!- you can do so here, it really makes a difference : ko-fi.com/stunty or paypal.me/stuntrockconfusion
I've been enthusiastically playing every single new release of the trio since I discovered them about 3 years ago or so, and Steve Davis has been such a great supporter of this venture, it only felt like it was time to give the band a proper showcase, as besides their respective credits already being so impressive, the sum of it all has really hit a very special spot in what the brain, theheart and the body craves, when it comes to music to challenge and to please. The old way to describe music is rapidly becoming irrelevant to me, as if many would label their pieces electronic music, it is so much more than just that... Think krautrock, pagan folk, whimsical prog, electronic ambient, minimalism, etc. For me, it is just the purest form of psychedelic music, and through their studio albums and special edition live series, we get to hear a band grow and delight exponentially.
Go check their music, it's all there, and you can even buy most of it :

Those of us interested in Sports would have watched Steve play for hundreds of hrs a few decades back. In my case usually with the sound off and some modern classical or ambient tunes on the turntable. Checked out some of the bands efforts a few days ago, lots of elements to the sounds, not sure yet how well they merge together. An interesting project. Enjoyed the chat!!!! I like Kavus's objective- map out the architecture of eternity, in theory if he does not pull this off someone else might have plenty of time to.

Hey Stunty. I’m trying my best to bee hive. Cool talk with these guys. Agree regarding the psychedelic aspect to a lot of music not necessarily considered of that genre. Great vid. Hope you’re doing well too.

Glad i went back for the full interview. Will be checking out Utopian Strong soon. The comments about Henry Cow and radical politics was very interesting to me. I feel that radicalism is somewhat missing today. Btw - One of my locals has several HC albums and I’m considering digging a bit deeper into that catalog.

Alan Moore - for real?! Looking very forward to that. But this is also a very interesting interview. These guys are so nice and ‚warm‘, I‘ll just order a record by them based on that interview. Plus Moomin seems to like them!

Very interesting, it was great to learn about The Utopia Strong. As a fan since the first album I learned a lot about their earlier and current careers. They seem like some quite nice blokes.

They absolutely are, which makes sense, when you hear the empathy in their music.

Hmmm, Will check them out, thanks for the tip. I really liked the recent Inode Grain release, but is it still rock?

The band that inspired me to start making instruments and music again after 10 yrs without my mojo. One of the most amazing live acts I've ever had the pleasure seeing.

I full agree the way how to get into music in the 90ies. Listen to some bands known as goth stuff brings me to music of Coil too. I didnt heard about this band before, but its sounds very interesting. I give them.a chance. THX Stunty!
