Out today (October 14th) is Todd Rundgren latest album, Space Force. Special guests on the new set include Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, Crowded House's Neil Finn, Thomas Dolby, Steve Vai, the Lemon Twigs, the Roots, Sparks, Adrian Below, and Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, among others.
Todd Rundgren told us that the unique approach he took in writing the songs is what sets Space Force apart from the rest of his catalogue: ["I want the record to be, kind of, like a collection of singles. It's all songs that may have never been finished, but for the fact that I hit up some artists and said, 'You got an old demo or a song that you got started but you can't finish? I'll put new ears to it and maybe a record'll happen.' And that's what most of Space Force is about. It's me being more of a producer in some ways than, than an artist."] SOUNDCUE (:26 OC: . . . than an artist)
