Musicalmente, distaba much\u00edsimo del pop himnol\u00f3gico y de gran \u00e9xito comercial que los har\u00eda famosos m\u00e1s adelante, pero esa es otra historia. Lanzaron un \u00e1lbum m\u00e1s mientras resid\u00edan en Nueva Zelanda en 1975, *Scented Gardens For The Blind* (que tambi\u00e9n ser\u00e1 reeditado por Eminent), antes de trasladarse definitivamente a Australia y alcanzar el \u00e9xito masivo con temas como \u00abApril Sun In Cuba\u00bb, \u00abGet That Jive\u00bb y \u00abRain\u00bb, entre otros; pero centr\u00e9monos en *Universal Radio*.<\/p>\n<p>El \u00e1lbum cuenta con la formaci\u00f3n compuesta por Marc y Todd Hunter, Ivan Thompson, Ray Goodwin y Neil Storey, y ofrece seis temas gloriosos de rock progresivo extenso y cambiante \u2014con ecos de Pink Floyd, Cressida y los inicios de Genesis\u2014, adem\u00e1s de la fant\u00e1stica obra gr\u00e1fica de Dick Frizzel. La banda hab\u00eda logrado una s\u00f3lida base de seguidores locales gracias a sus actuaciones en festivales y conciertos universitarios, y lleg\u00f3 a la grabaci\u00f3n como una formaci\u00f3n plenamente madura, combinando el car\u00e1cter desenfadado de \u00abWeetbix\u00bb con los matices m\u00e1s oscuros de \u00abGraves\u00bb. *Universal Radio* es, sencillamente, un ejemplo excelente de rock progresivo de los a\u00f1os 70 \u2014independientemente de su origen neozeland\u00e9s\u2014 y se sit\u00faa junto a *Mental Notes*, el debut de Split Enz, como una de las mejores y m\u00e1s singulares grabaciones de Nueva Zelanda de aquella \u00e9poca.<\/p>\n<p>Se trata de la primera reedici\u00f3n en vinilo, totalmente autorizada por la banda, cuyos miembros percibir\u00e1n directamente los derechos de autor.
