New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Todd Rundgren's 'Space Force' has arrived today on
Cleopatra Records, a new album of twelve collaborations from the Hall Of Famer that span genres and generations. Building on never-released and unfinished material that derives primarily from his counterparts, 'Space Force' finds Rundgren back in the lauded producer's chair from which he's helped shape half a century of American music. Drawing on relationships with collaborators that range from decades-long friendships to just-made internet connections, Space Force builds on and expands the concepts behind 2017's lauded White Knight, Rundgren's most recent previous studio album.

Rundgren has been teasing the long-anticipated release of Space Force for much of the past few years, including work with The
Roots ("Godiva Girl"), Weezer's Rivers Cuomo ("Down With The Ship"), Sparks ("Your Fandango"), guitar extraordinaire Adrian Belew ("
Puzzle") and rapper Narcy ("Espionage"). Just last week, he shared the galvaning and groovy "I'm Not Your Dog," created with "She Blinded Me with Science" chart-topper turned music technology pioneer
Thomas Dolby. Tracks available for the first time today include contributions from Steve Vai, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, Crowded House's Neil Finn, Davey Lane, Alfie Templeman and The Lemon Twigs.
Rundgren will also be performing across North
America through the end of the year - including a just-announced new leg of his year-long run with Daryl Hall, and the continuation of his cross-country "Celebrating
David Bowie" tour with Space Force and Bowie collaborator Adrian Belew, among many other talented musicians. A full list of dates for each is below.
