Kansas drummer Phil Ehart says that Kansas fans will love their new album The Prelude Implicit, their first studio album in 16 years.
"I really feel that the Kansas fan is going to love this record. But beyond that, I hope we acquire a lot of new fans with it," he tells Ultimate Classic Rock. "But I just want people to see the depth of this album, the intensity and appreciate the work that went into it. Hopefully we score a lot of new fans and what a testament to Rich and Phil for doing this for more than 43 years now and still have an ambition and desire to put out new music. What does that say about them?"
"It's quite a collection," Ronnie Platt adds about The Prelude Implicit. "I listen to these songs now and I'm just floored that we did all of this in a month and a half. Because when I listen to these songs, it's like, to me, it sounds like it would take us six months to put all of this together."
The Prelude Implicit is Kansas' first release on German label Inside Out Music.
