Initiation is the sixth studio album by American musician Todd Rundgren, released on May 23, 1975 by Bearsville Records. With this album, Rundgren fully embraced the synthesized progressive rock sound he had begun exploring in more depth in his work with his band Utopia. However, unlike Utopia, in which Rundgren had limited himself to playing guitar, much of the synthesizers on Initiation were played and programmed by Rundgren himself.
