Australia’s #1 LEGENDARY PROG BAND, UNITOPIA, worked on a NEW PROJECT, with GLOBAL AWARENESS in mind.
Their debut album ” FALL IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD, ” is a WHOLE NEW DIFFERENT CONCEPT of SYMPHONIC PROG, with guest appearances by STEVE HACKETT and JON ANDERSON.
As written on the band’s website:
” THE MUSICAL SPIRIT STILL LIVES ON!! ”
A phoenix from the ashes, UPF are a TOUR De FORCE, with ex-Unitopia members MATT WILLIAMS on guitar, DAVE HOPGOOD on drums, TIM IRRGANG on percussion, and the EVER MAGICAL VOICE of MARK ‘ TRUEY ‘ TRUEACK, whose vision this juggernaut is.
Added to this, Mark has managed to corral some PROGRESSIVE ROCK HEAVYWEIGHTS, in the form of keyboard player, guitarist, vocalist and song-writer, friend GUY MANNING ( Manning, The Tangent ), bass guitarist, STEVEN GEE ( Landmarq ) and on the first UPF album and also on their up and coming tour of the UK and Europe later in the year, wind player IAN RITCHIE ( Renowned for his work with Roger Waters. )
And now, a few words from Unitopia’s Frontman, MARK TRUEACK, ( As read on PROG SPHERE.COM: )
“ My original concept was to make this a universal project, allowing not only the members to come and go as they please, but also inviting the listener to share ideas on what they would like to hear – in other words, making UPF the people’s group. ”

As written on the band’s website:
“ The Water, ” is a reminder of how we can take this precious fluid for granted; how it is getting harder to get ( Especially in Australia, where droughts are more frequent and prolonged with bushfires more violent and deadly with each passing summer ) and yet, we still treat it with thoughtlessness instead of conservation.
“ WATER BRINGS THE MESSAGE HOME, LOUD & STRONG! ”
” FALL IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD, ” IS COMING SOON!!!! BE PREPARED!!!!!!
