Kansas Announce First New Album In 16 Years 'The Prelude Implicit'

(Prog) Kansas will release "The Prelude Implicit," their first album in 16 years, on September 23. And guitarist Richard Williams has reassured listeners that, despite the interval, the work is comparable to their previous titles.

The 10-track follow-up to 2000's Somewhere To Elsewhere was co-produced by Williams and bandmates Zak Rizvi and Phil Ehart. It's to be launched via InsideOut Music.

Williams says: "This is definitely a Kansas album. Whether it's the trademark prog epic The Voyage Of Eight Eighteen, the biting rock of Rhythm In The Spirit, or the mindful ballad The Unsung Heroes, there's something on his album for every kind of Kansas fan.

"After years of pent-up creativity, the entire band is proud of The Prelude Implicit." Read more here.
