Todd Rundgren - Reconstructed (2000)

Unlike many bands and albums that sample, play tribute or just plagiarize an artist's oeuvre, this one does so with the artists blessing. The premise is, Todd provides the original vocal tracks and of course, his genius at songwriting, and various mixmasters of the new millenium provide thoroughly different takes on the instrumental tracks. The potential of the album is that it could turn some more modern focused listeners onto the genius of Mr. Rundgren. As Todd has always being thoroughly ahead of his time, he may find an audience that has caught up with his sensibilities. If you're an old Todd fan yourself, pick this up and experience your own paradigm shift as to what "Todd" should sound like! A wonderful and completely weird concept that plays out beautifully, worthy of a five star rating!
