It also provides exclusive insights behind the scenes of the Soulmates production live and in the studio, a “making of”. 

Utopia For Realists: Hungarian Pictures features guest appearances from Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Jack Bruce (Cream), Nick van Eede (Cutting Crew), Chris Thompson (Manfred Mann’s Earth Band), Bobby Kimball (Toto), David Clayton-Thomas (Blood, Sweat and Tears), John Helliwell (Supertramp) and Al di Meola.
