The band existed between 1988 and 1991, and recorded three albums:
Utopian Fields (1989), White pigeon, you clean... (1990) and A young
mans dream and the future now (1991). The first two were released on
vinyl on the recordlabel Colours, and the third never got to be
released... The mastertape is still in the hands of the people behind
the long gone recordcompany Colours...
In the year 1989 Norwegian progressive rock label Colours released
Utopian Fields debut album as their very first release. The bands
second and last album was also released by Colours, in 1990. The main
format for the releases from Colours was the vinyl LP, and both of
Utopian Fields albums exist on vinyl only. Utopian Fields had
expectations for a career in progressive rock. Yet they wasn't around
for so long. Their music was inspired by the classic progressive rock
from the seventies. And mainly marked by a gentle, relaxed atmosphere
with a little bit of sadness. Nice music to relax with. Acoustic guitar
is extensively used. Very tasteful. Or, as the label wrote in their
catalogue about the second album: "Strong duelling guitars, often
acoustic, dreamy organ and a curious rhythm section makes this a
progressive feast." (but that was a commercial of course). For
Norwegian visitors I have to mention, just for fun, that the singer on
the second album is Bård Tufte Johansen. Today, well known comedian on
our television (Lille Lørdag, Åpen Post). And he sings good too.

I think i understand your thoughts .... everything we do should be done with open heart and nice feelings. If the energy we get is different then there is no point on keep on doing something that makes us feel strange...
BTW i thnk the 'gold' time for music blogging is gone for good. Most of best blogs are deleted or are inactive ( exept lizardson) . Music blogging as i meet it was something like a music community in the beggining. Amazing for me - i found friend around the globe with common feeling and interests, somethng difficult in real life. Then we saw what people we looking for.. and this is not a community .. just get the music to store on their hard disks and never feel anything about it.... then go to facebook and find girl/boyfriend or join groups like " i hate milkshake" or " Maradona's wife is fat" etc..... I am very sorry that all this efford, love and energy from people here and in some other great blogs was not appreciated ( and even some were fighting against it) and that all this great experience ( for myself) is over as it started. I miss it sometime now and i will miss it more. I am sure that some people will not get lost whatever you decide to do, only music will get lost in tyme again for people that don't love it that much to listen to it and share their thoughts.
All the best
PS ( looking fwd for the grape jam meeting!!!!)

An incredible album this one !
I had listened to the other one some time ago, but this one is better for my taste.
Thanks a lot for sharing

Regrettably, the sound of this record can be heard only on one channel, i.e., the stereo quality of the original was not preserved when ripping to mp3. Pity!
