4.0 out of 5 stars Unknown and Underappreciated, October 8, 2004

This review is from: Prism (Audio CD)

Prism's debut album slipped quietly out of Canada in the late 1970's, and before long "Spaceship Superstar" and "Take Me to the Kaptin" began popping up intermittedly on FM radio (ah, those were the days!). Great vocals, good blend of guitar, synths and brass, with an interesting mix of styles. "Julie" is the hit single that should have been. It is a much more consistant work than Prism's later releases. If these songs had the benefit of today's production technology, it would easily rate five stars. As it is, it is a solid four.

Prism was a great band in the late 70s. This album brought back old memories for me and frankly I was amazed I found it. Last time I listened to it was on 8 track on a pioneer deck. Amazing how rough the original recordings were back in the day. Good buy for the money.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Prism (Audio CD)

I first was exposed to this album in the late 70's when I got it on an 8 track!!! Although most of the tunes were a little more pop music sounding than I usually listen to (generally attracted to material with a bit more edge and drive), I was captivated by most all of these songs in some way or another. As usual, there are a few that stand out over the rest, those being Spaceship Superstar, Open Soul Surgery, Take Me To The Capatin and Vladivostok. Take Me To The Captain explores the topic of what humanity is doing to our earth, and then adds the fantasy of dreaming about a alien spacecraft coming and taking the person away to their planet, at which time the person realizes it would be better there since we are hell bent on destroying earth, and asks their "Captain" if they can stay, all done with what I consider killer music behind it. Vladivostok though really reaches in me and takes me to the "freezing Russian winter" as those hardships are endured, all while longing for the presence of his far off love.....mesmerizing!! A great album and band in my opinion.
