Futurama

Bill Nelson moved the group away from glam rock roots into art rock territory for this sophomore release. The songs focus on themes of a decaying, futuristic environment and feature ambitious guitar work.

Roy Thomas Baker handled production, applying a sleek and expansive polish that suits the high-concept material. The record serves as a link between the theatrical nature of early glam and the stricter structures of progressive rock. It remains a notable entry for listeners interested in the artistic shifts of the mid-seventies.
