Todd Rundgren [ tickets ], whose 30-plus year musical career is getting increased attention of late thanks to a series of recent reissues and official "bootleg" albums, has lined up a month of spring tour dates that get underway in late March.

Sanctuary Records will release "Nearly Human Tour Japan '90," the third album in its Rundgren series, on April 1.

Rundgren is working closely with the label, sorting though decades of his personal recording collection, and plans to release "a number of additional albums and DVDs throughout 2003," according to Sanctuary.

The first Sanctuary release, "Live at the Forum '94," was recorded in London and includes "Bang the Drum All Day," "Love of the Common Man" and selections from his 1994 release "No World Order," which was billed as the first audio-only interactive CD-ROM.

The second is "Open Our Eyes: The Anthology," a 35-track retrospective of Rundgren's first group, the Nazz.

In 1969, Rundgren left the Nazz to pursue a solo career. Among his hit singles were "I Saw the Light," "Hello It's Me" and "Can We Still Be Friends." From there, he formed Utopia [ tickets ] in 1974 and ventured into prog rock.

Over the years, Rundgren has produced albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, XTC and others, and has continued to release solo albums. He also contributed his rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" to the recently released disc "Songs from the Material World--A Tribute to George Harrison."

Rundgren has long been a pioneer in interactive media. In 1978, he performed the first interactive television concert, which was broadcast live over the Warner/QUBE system in Columbus, Ohio. The audience chose each song in the concert by voting via the two-way cable system.

In 1998, Rundgren launched PatronNet, technology that allows fans to subscribe directly to a musical artist's output via the Internet.

Rundgren has been traveling light for his recent concerts, performing solo with a guitar, piano and an MP3 player.
