2nd Wind was the 13th album released by Todd Rundgren, as well as his last one for a major label. Rundgren terminated his relationship with Warner Bros. Records shortly after its release. He was said to have grown increasingly unhappy with the label's insistence that he start including single-worthy material.[citation needed] The album includes three songs ("The Smell of Money", "If I Have to Be Alone" and "Love in Disguise") from the musical Up Against It. "Gaya's Eyes" continues the new, more adult sound introduced on the preceding album Nearly Human. Always a believer in cutting-edge technology, Todd used the video for the album's only single, "Change Myself," as a showcase for the NewTek Video Toaster, a desktop video card for the Commodore Amiga computer. Promotional DJ issues of the CD have a black, gold and blue swirl on the CD label where the stock releases have a blue and yellow swirl. There was also a vinyl release of the album in Europe which is nearly impossible to find. After being out of print for several years, Friday Music released a remastered version in October 2008, the first release in what the company is calling the "Todd Rundgren Remaster Series.". There is a video, available on Netflix of the recording of this record. He actually allowed fans to be in the studio with him. This documentary of 20 minutes or so, includes conversations with his supporting musicians. [edit] Track listing
