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.
