Kansas: The Absence of Presence (Limited Artbook Deluxe Edition) [Blu-ray]

With a legendary career spanning nearly five decades, KANSAS has firmly established itself as one of America’s iconic classic rock bands. This "garage band" from Topeka released their debut album in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, who worked for Don Kirshner, and have gone on to sell more than 30 million albums worldwide. The band is currently comprised of original drummer Phil Ehart, bassist/vocalist Billy Greer, vocalist/keyboardist Ronnie Platt, violinist/guitarist David Ragsdale, keyboardist/vocalist Tom Brislin, guitarist Zak Rizvi, and original guitarist Richard Williams. With no signs of slowing down, KANSAS continues to perform in front of large and enthusiastic audiences around the world. The summer of 2020 marks the release of “The Absence of Presence,” KANSAS’s sixteenth studio album. The wide-ranging progressive rock album, released by InsideOut Music, follows-up 2016’s “The Prelude Implicit,” which debuted at #14 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart.

Available as a Limited CD+Blu-Ray Artbook including 5.1 surround sound mix & Hi-Res Stereo, Special Edition CD Digipak, Gatefold 2LP + CD (incl. etching on Side D) & as digital album.

Культовая группа KANSAS, чья карьера вместила почти 5 десятилетий и свыше 30 миллионов проданных альбомов, объявила о скором выходе своего 16-го студийного альбома. Пластинка "The Absence Of Presence" увидит свет 26 июня 2020 года и станет первым альбомом группы за 4 года.

В состав "The Absence Of Presence" войдут 9 новых треков, написанных группой и спродюсерованных гитаристом Kansas Заком Ризви при участии Фила Эхарта и Ричарда Уильямса. Звучание нового альбомы безошибочно характеризуется узнаваемым стилем группы: мощный вокал Ронни Плата развивается в монументальные прог-рок-композиции под ошеломительную скрипку Дэвида Рагсдейла, чарующие клавиши Тома Брислина и электрические рифы Уильямса и Ризви.
