I was flashing back to the premise of their eventual music forming the basis of an eventual utopian future civilization.
I happened to have been listening to Sigur Ros when this came back to me.
Other candidates?

Pretty sure both Chumbawumba and Crass wanted to be in the running...

the Grateful Dead would have qualified if they'd vanished from the face of the earth in 1974.

and then there were the utopian space projects: the original Paul Kantner Jefferson Starship LP which won a special Hugo Award for science fiction, Hawkwind, and Gong all have a case. though i don't know that you could call Hawkwind "utopian" except in an extremely broad sense.

I’m not even sure if hawkwind was more or less utopian than Motörhead was

on one hand, Motorhead dodged utopianism with e.g. “Love Me Like A Reptile,” on the other Hawkwind had the Calvert poems some of which were genuinely horrifying. it must have fucked the trippers up when he started ranting about his body dissolving or the Seventh Second of Forever.
my 2000s ex and i used to love intoning “SPACE…IS DEEP” in our best approximation of Calvert’s, erm, unique delivery. “plummy” is a good old English word. “plummy and psychotic” just about nails it.

Spiritualized: Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
I heard this for the first time during a night of teenage experimenting. I crawled across the floor to get closer to the speakers. It was an overwhelming delight to be treated to this out of the blue. When I bought the album, I was disappointed to realize the opening title track far-surpassed the rest of the album.
If I was making a band in a lab, the initial outline would be something like: psychedelic orchestral music with Beach Boys-inspired harmonies.
