Planetary Overload, Part 2 - Hope, is the 2023 studio album from environmentally-conscious progressive rock supergroup United Progressive Fraternity.
The band's trademark synthesis of sophisticated instrumentation and meaningful songwriting renders Hope a fitting conclusion to the trilogy that began with 2014’s Fall in Love with the World and continued with 2019’s Planetary Overload, Part 1 - Loss.
The album incorporates the talents of over three dozen renowned progressive rock artists. From prior collaborators (such as Christophe Lebled, Nick Magnus, Charlie Cawood, Steve Hackett, Colin Edwin, Lisa Wetton, and Hasse Fröberg) to exciting newcomers (such as Rachel Flowers, Ryo Okumoto, Jonas Reingold, Tommy Murray, and Unitopia co-founder Sean Timms).
The album art is by Ed Unitsky.
3CD in digipak edition (including a bonus collection by Trueack, Unruh, and Lebled as The Romantechs).
