Kansas is the eponymous debut studio album by American progressive rock band Kansas, released in 1974 by Kirshner and Epic Records.
 Kansas's debut album followed the merging of two Topeka musical camps: Kerry Livgren, from a previous Kansas line-up, and White Clover, which played mainstream rock and blues.
 The newly formed group signed with Kirshner Records in 1973 and traveled to New York to record their first release.
 The material on "Kansas", written mostly by guitarist/keyboardist Livgren and vocalist/keyboardist Steve Walsh, had been culled from the repertoire of both groups.
 Livgren's songs were generally longer and more elaborate than Walsh's and featured mystical lyrics which reflected his intense interest in Eastern religions.
 "Journey from Mariabronn" was inspired by Hermann Hesse's "Narcissus and Goldmund", while "Belexes" and "Aperçu" were influenced by the pseudo-Asian sound of Giacomo Puccini's "Turandot".
The Prelude Implicit is the fifteenth studio album by American progressive rock band Kansas, released in September 2016.
