Unitopia - The Garden -2008

Unitopia is the rare case of prog from "down under". The band was formed by Mark Trueack (vocals) and Sean Timms (keyboard, guitar)
after they were introduced by a mutual friend who saw that the two had similar tastes in music and the story goes that as soon as Timms
heard Trueack sing, he knew they had to do something together.
They released their first album, “More Than A Dream” in 2005 after spending 8 years on the albums,
and have since been working on material for their second album “The Garden”, which was recently released after 3 years of writing,
recording and mastering. The band’s influences stretch all across the progressive scope and make for a very intriguing sound
that has one foot in “retro”-70s style progressive while still being able to sound like other artists in the modern progressive scene.
They have a rather large sound to them, which is no doubt helped by their 6-member roster (including Matt Williams (guitar),
Monty Ruggiero (drums), Shireen Khemlani (bass) and Tim Irrang (percussion)).
They mix a combination of Flower Kings-like symphonic qualities with the soul of Ladder-era Yes and Trueack’s unique vocals to make the brunt of their sound.
