There are copyright issues with posting reviews from other sites here in their entirety. SInce there is still no interest in this album on the PA in terms reviewing I have been turning a blind eye to this, but that's not going to get me or M@X out of gaol when the Feds come calling.

 I'm so happy for the guys...

Another great review from Belgium.  Follow the link to read it in French, or if you're interested you can read the online translator robot which makes comical mincemeat of it...but you can get the gist.  And 4 of 4 stars is quite clear! (You have to go to the site to see them.)


And one from France, also in french.

You can hear another full track, "Grand Canyon", on The Canvas Prog Hour radio show.  Click part 2 to listen to the segment Flash is in, but the whole show is pretty hot.

Excuse the repetitions.  The administrators have been moving things around again.

Anyway.....the music.  That's what it's all about!  

Cheers, everyone.  Rock 'n' roll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This picked up via Martin Kielty at 'Prog' magazine yesterday: http://www.progrockmag.com/news/flash-to-release-first-album-in-40-years/
 
 

"Flash will release their first album in 40 years next week, they’ve announced.

It’s called Flash Featuring Ray Bennett & Colin Carter and it’s their fourth LP, coming after Out Of Our Hands, which was launched in 1973.

Vocalist Carter formed the band in 1971 with bassist Bennett, original Yes guitar icon Peter Banks (who sadly died recently) and drummer Mike Hough. Bennett now plays lead guitar with Carter on rhythm guitar and vocals, alongside bassist Wayne Carver, keyboardist Rick Daugherty and drummer Mark Pardy.

The album has been three years in the making. Bennett says: “Colin and I did write a large chunk of the old Flash material, and our sensibilities as writers haven’t changed a huge amount. We still write all the time.

“But we’ve developed, we’re more sophisticated, and we have a few more tricks up our sleeves. I think that all shows up on the new CD. I saw a lot of magic happen on this new album – as it grew into a finished thing, all kinds of excellent stuff popped up as we let it develop. There’s a lot to be said for giving it time.”

Flash Featuring Ray Bennett & Colin Carter is available for preorder now."
