| dbo:abstract | A Wizard, a True Star is the fourth album by American musician Todd Rundgren, released March 2, 1973, on Bearsville Records. It marked a departure from his previous, Something/Anything? (1972), with its lesser reliance on straightforward pop songs, a development he attributed to his experimentation with psychedelic drugs and his realization of "what music and sound were like in my internal environment, and how different that was from the music I had been making." The album was produced, engineered, and, with the exception of some tracks, entirely performed by Rundgren. He envisioned the record as a hallucinogenic-inspired "flight plan" with all the tracks seguing seamlessly into each other, starting with a "chaotic" mood and ending with a medley of his favorite soul songs. At the time of release, he stated that Wizard intended to advance utopian ideals; later, he said that the album had no definite meaning. No singles were issued from the album, as he wanted the tracks to be heard in the context of the LP. With 19 tracks, its nearly 56-minute runtime made it one of the longest single-disc LPs to date. Upon release, A Wizard, a True Star received widespread critical acclaim, but sold poorly, reaching number 86 on U.S. charts. According to Rundgren, "the result was a complete loss of about half of my audience at that point." To support the album, Rundgren formed a new group, Utopia, his first official band since the Nazz. Their technologically ambitious stage show was cancelled after about two weeks on the road. A Wizard, a True Star has since been recognized for its influence on later generations of bedroom musicians. (en) A Wizard, A True Star es el cuarto (o segundo, según quienes dicen que los primeros discos de este artista fueron de un trío llamado "Runt") álbum de estudio de rock progresivo del cantautor estadounidense Todd Rundgren, estrenado en 1973. El álbum, en especial el Lado-A de la grabación en vinilo (es decir, desde el track 1 hasta el 12), es un medley extendido luego de la moda de las últimas grabaciones de "The Beatles; las canciones están adjuntas unas dentro de otras. El álbum en total dura 55 minutos con 56 segundos, puestos con el límite de un LP; como resultado la calidad sonora de este LP es generalmente menor a la estelar, sin embargo el CD no incluye estas dificultades. La carátula fue hecha por Arthur Wood, que es una curiosa obra de pintura hecha en las grabaciones originales. Primero el LP de vinilo incluía una "banda de auxilio" poema escrito por Patti Smith, un estilo de historia sobre el álbum.

(it) A Wizard, a True Star är ett album av den amerikanska musikern Todd Rundgren, utgivet 1973. Rundgren hade året innan nått framgångar med albumet Something/Anything?, med populära poplåtar som "I Saw the Light" och "Hello It's Me". A Wizard, a True Star skilde sig en hel del från föregångaren. Det var psykedeliskt och med inslag av progressiv rock och Rundgrens något bisarra humor. Det blev inte ett lika populärt album som det föregående och stannade på plats 86 på Billboard 200. Musikkritikerna var ofta delade i sin uppfattning om albumet, men de flesta lyfte ändå fram någon eller några låtar som de gillade. Albumets längd, 55 minuter och 56 sekunder, var på gränsen av vad som får plats på en LP-skiva. Detta gjorde att ljudkvalitén blev lidande, vilket Rundgren själv skrev om på skivomslaget. På CD-utgåvan har detta problem eliminerats. Skivans ursprungliga konvolut var specialdesignat på de amerikanska utgåvorna. Hörnen var unikt rundat utformade, likaså skivans innerfodral där låttexterna fanns. Med skivan följde även ett vykort som gick att skicka till Todd Rundgren. Den som skrev sitt namn på detta kort lovades att få stå med på en plansch på Rundgrens nästkommande studioalbum Todd. Europeiska utgåvor och senare utgåvor av albumet har getts ut med ett standardfodral. Albumet var en av titlarna i boken 1001 album du måste höra innan du dör. (sv) |

| dbp:quote | It was fairly early on in my psychedelic explorations, so everything at that point is just pretty colors and this world of new discoveries. A Wizard, a True Star is just like a baby trying to get back to an un-imprinted point where all of this input doesn't necessarily have a preconceived meaning. I left it up to the listener to place it somewhere or rank it, evaluate it, remember it, forget it, whatever. (en) Utopia as a group is to convince people of the potential reality of the concept. Utopia isn't even the greatest potential reality, it's just what we can afford now. We're the Disneyland of rock and roll bands. Anyone can get into it with a little bit of effort. (en) |
