“It doesn’t just begin and end; it unfolds, then folds in on itself, and reconfigures with every subsequent play”: The Utopia Strong’s Doperider is an epic psychonaut’s journey

The Utopia Strong – Doperider.

As any seasoned psychonaut will attest, no maps exist for the journey to the centre of the mind. While there may be an idea of direction and the sensations that await, no two experiences are ever the same.

So it goes with Doperider, the third album from psychedelia’s most unlikely supergroup, The Utopia Strong. Comprising third-eye man-about-town Kavus Torabi (Gong, Cardiacs), Michael J York (Coil, Current 93, The Witching Tale), and six-time snooker world champion Steve Davis.
