Unitopia are no more, but Mark Trueack, singer and one of the two mainsongwriter of the band, was of the opinion that this should not be the end. Sohe formed from the remaining quartet Unitopia together with the not quiteunknown musicians Guy Manning, Marek Arnold and Dan Mash the United Progressive Fraternity. And this Brotherhood wants to give Trueack around the world, yes, finally, everyone should have what it.
In addition Trueack yet Guy Manning is explicitly mentioned as a songwriter, so it should be clear in which direction it goes musically here (or maybe also helpsto look at the cover-disaster). Who has been inspired by Unitopia that can access unheard in “Fall In Love With The World” and revel in the pleasure. For better or stop in the not so good actually all trademarks of Unitopia find here.
Highly melodic music that past scars sometimes only a hair’s breadth of Kitschlimit (and occasionally exceeds this limit smiling) supported by anthemic guitarsand orchestral keyboard pads, accompanied by gently pulsating rhythm. Except for a few outbreaks (eg in “The Water”, or the central Long Track “Travelling Man”), the music subsides ahead in temperate mid-tempo. This album takesafter the beginning quite pleasing ride on until the first version of “The Water” afirecracker fledged follows. The second version of “The Water”, which concludes the album as a bonus track, is quite harder, because the arrangement isdesigned here more on rock. In this song Jon Anderson works with whose high voice forms a delightful contrast to the rather sonorous organ by Mark Trueack.
Clear highlight of the album is the Long Track “Travelling Man” goes throughmany moods from gentle to intense and shines with beautiful instrumentalexcursions. Thereafter, the album goes quickly but the air out and the next twosongs are the ones that still exceed the limits of kitsch and euphony too far. But at least you get at the end of said alternate version of “The Water” again earsblown out.
Who do not mind the ubiquitous euphony and yet consistently more leisurely pace of the album, which is here quite well maintained. The numerous guest musicians and instrumentalists own the pieces to win quite color, with justMarek Arnold does with some beautiful Sax and clarinet runs with slightly jazzycharacter out. So “Fall In Love With The World” has become a beautiful albumof melodic corner ‘our’ music.
