Background
Just who were Hot Flash? From the mid 70's, this Boston based outfit were obviously influenced by some of the more zany contemporaries from the same era. Combining prog and pomp rock, you would think that the theme for this band and this album was based around the cinematic sci-fi concepts from 1977, the Star Wars movie is the first thing that springs to mind. Just looking through the song-titles, you can see there is an element of the comical, whimsical and bombastical (is there such a word?). This album has its moments, but I wouldn't call it a classic. Nice to have though - file away under 'zany pomp rock'.
