Flash-"In The Can" (1972)

Peter Banks had been invited to leave Yes in the early 1970s, his position would be occupied by Steve Howe, meanwhile Banks, far from being submerged in unrest, would found his first band called Flash, with which he would publish three great progressive-cut albums.
"In The Can" was the second published in 1972 and the first in which he no longer had his former Yes partner, Tony Kaye, but in return he consolidated his new line-up with Colin Carter on vocals, bassist Ray Bennett and drums Michael Hought, who would repeat in the next "Out Of Our Hands" (1973).
In this album the band delves into their musical proposal based on a progressive rock with a pronounced melodic and rhythmic base.
The extensive "Lifetime" of more than ten minutes is a guitar exercise by Banks himself and a variety of rhythms that the group displays superbly. The same goes for "Black and White" another long and exquisite piece of great progressive rock.
