Flash - 'In The Can' (One Way Records)

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Originally released in 1972, 'In The Can' was the band's second of three albums they'd put out in their rather brief existence. Some under-appreciated UK post-Yes progressive rock. Best cuts are the ten-minute "Lifetime" and the twelve-minute epic "Black And White". Line-up: Peter Banks(formerly of Yes) - guitar, Colin Carter - vocals, Ray Bennett - bass and Michael Hough - drums. Might appeal to some fans of Starcastle, Alan Parsons, PFM and Giles, Giles& Fripp."

If you liked the first Flash then.....

"More of what we heard on the first Flash is here, including their best track of their short career "Lifetime" Tony Kaye is gone, but the guitars are cranked up a notch and you don't really notice. Peter Banks deserves more credit in the prog world. Flash is a great group that a Yes fan will no doubt like."

Little-known Prog-Rock Classic!

"Listened to this album many times in '72-'73 when it was first released. A great record to put on and listen to from beginning to end. I though they had developed more of a sound of their own on this one opposed to a "Yes sound-alike". I preferred this band over Yes in fact.Great guitar work and a grittier sound than Yes. A CRIMINALLY OVERLOOKED ALBUM!"
