Kansas – The Prelude Implicit (Deluxe Edition) (2016)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 01:00:29 minutes | 715 MB | Genre: Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © InsideOutMusic
The 15th studio long-player from the progressive rock/AOR legends — and first collection of new material in 16 years — The Prelude Implicit is the first Kansas album to feature new vocalist and keyboardist Ronnie Platt, who replaced founder Steve Walsh after the former announced his retirement in 2014. The 12-track set also marks the studio debuts of keyboard player David Manion and guitarist Zak Rizvi. That’s a lot of new blood, but rest assured, The Prelude Implicit is very Kansas-y. Platt’s amenable voice is custom made for melodic rock — think Tommy Shaw-meets-Paul Rodgers — and the presence of founding members Phil Ehart (drums) and Rich Williams (guitar), alongside longtime violin/guitar player David Ragsdale and bassist Billy Greer, helps to further ground the proceedings, resulting in something that sounds both familiar and forward thinking. Front-loaded with co-lead singles “With This Heart” and “Visibility Zero,” the former a soaring, heartfelt anthem and the latter a muscular classic rock jam that invokes the band’s “Carry on My Wayward Son”-era, the technically superb The Prelude Implicit — literally — hits all of the right notes, and should please longtime fans, despite the absence of Walsh. From the proggy, nearly nine-minute “Voyage of Eight Eighteen” to the hook-filled, festival-ready nostalgia piece “Summertime,” it’s clear that Kansas still has gas in the tank, and with some new parts in place, it looks like they’ve still got some road to cover. – AllMusic Review by James Christopher Monger

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © InsideOutMusic
There can be few more unlikely success stories than that of Kansas, and yet 2020 marks 49 years in the business for a band who dressed like farmhands and adopted the violin as a de facto lead instrument. With notable exceptions, the songs of Kerry Livgren were what made Kansas great. Following the guitarist’s third and seemingly final departure in 2000, the Livgren-less configuration took 16 years to construct new music.

Kano – Runes (2018)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 43:45 minutes | 340 MB | Genre: New Age, Drone, Minimal
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Subliminal Sounds
…this unique, dark and sparse, tribal, minimal synth, drone, trance, new age recording from the mysterious Kano. Previously only issued as an obscure cassette back in 1986 which is now much sought after. Runes is much darker and brooding compared to its new age peers of the era. Drums, metalophone, synths and more leads you on a deep inwards trip via damp, cold and foggy caves to the ancients. Runes are reminders of our ancient future. They reveal messages of wisdom that are held deep within our hearts and consciousness. Runes remind us of the forgotten past, opening our minds into the Universal Mind. Archetypal runic symbols appear throughout the earth as relics of many ancient cultures including Hindu and Native American, but their primary origin as tools of divination is most often given as Nordic and Germanic. Their true source is perhaps, too ancient and arcane for us to ever know with historical certainty. The music of Runes music is of such power and beauty, that it can be effective for inducing states of consciousness that allow deep meditation, channeling and trance. Runes is an extraordinary musical experience. Kano, described as a trance musician from Colorado on the original release, was Don Campbell in real life and the Runes cassette was eventually issued under his name too. Born in 1946 in San Antonio, Texas, Don Campbell spent his high school years in Europe, studying classical music with the legendary Nadia Boulanger and Jean Casadesus at the Fountainebleu Conservatory in France. A graduate of the University of North Texas, he began his professional career as a music critic and teacher for seven years at St. Mary’s International School in Tokyo. Campbell’s interest in sound, healing and education have taken him to over forty countries through the years.

Kandace Springs is a reincarnation of the great soul divas. Divine beauty, a charming name, since she released her first album, all eyes have been on this young woman. Soul Eyes, released on Blue Note in 2014, saw her float away into a sublime cloud of soul-jazz with pop highlights. Four years later, she is attracting attention with a full different creation, named Indigo. Roberta Flack, Luther Vandross, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone are just a few names of her childhood influences, names that are still casting their spell over her performances. A warm timbre, a supple and delicate diction that goes hand in hand with her mastery of the piano, Indigo is a stunning mix of covers and original pieces written by Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken. The album opens on the pop-romantic overture Don’t Need The Real Thing; funk airs follow on People Make The World Go ‘Round and a jazzy instrumental on Unsophisticated: Springs seems unsure about where to really let her voice take off, but it works! She is testing out her capacities and limits in some contradictory registers. Fix Me even ventures into classical, with a mix of Prélude opus 28 n°4 by Chopin, imitation Gainsbourg and a more soulful Jane B sound. It’s an unexpected mix but it is all brought together marvellously by the smoke timbre of this winning singer. – Anna Coluthe
