My understanding of the story is that the keyboard player from Unitopia had a falling out with the singer, so Unitopia broke up.  United Progressive Fraternity is all the other members from Unitopia with a new keyboard player.  

Where it gets interesting is that the ex-keyboard player claims to have written the three songs which I think are the best on the album, and was not credited.  He wrote a letter to Prog magazine, which they posted, that was a response to an article Prog Magazine wrote about UPF.  He had some choice words for his former bandmates, the singer in particular.

This is why I'm curious to hear some new material from UPF down the line.  If it's not good, perhaps there might be some truth to the claims the ex-keyboard player was making.

That's because it's contrived and not good. Unitopia is one of those bands with all the talent, but come off as not connecting with their own music. There's something almost cheesy about much of it. I mean, I listen to them often. I've listened to Tesla on repeat for hours before. And their Genesis mashup is actually really well done. I just find myself cringing a lot when listening to an album from start to finish.

^This, for sure.  Except for the Tesla on repeat part.  I can't do that with any song.  :)

They are hit or miss, both Unitopia and UPF.  UPF's album is half prog greatness, half "don't need to hear that ever again".

I kind of like "Nothing Lasts Forever", though the reprise "The Great Reward" I think is a better track.  It is campy, no doubt, but I find myself singing along to it.  However, a song like "Don't Look Back - Turn Left" off the UPF album is not the good kind of campy to me, and it's not my thing.
