Pop Matters
reviews Runddans and doesn't really get it:
"Rundgren’s presence is mostly limited to some lyric-less chiming, and even those tracks—“Put Your Arms Around Me” and “Altar of Kauaian Six String”—the songs where his participation is most apparent, yield results that are, in an actual song sense, almost negligible. Fans of psychedelic soirees ala early Syd Barrett-led Pink Floyd will likely find satisfaction. As for everyone else, well, suffice it to say, drugs of another sort may indeed be needed."
P.S. I gave it a listen this morning and I think it is one which will be a marmite album.

I had to look up the definition of marmite. So, I take it you're saying it's an effort people will love or hate?
I got my copy yesterday. I found it kind of interesting in a druggy sense but not something I will listen to a lot.
Yes, I think it's probably a love or hate thing. I've now listened to it 3 times and am starting to really get into it.
