Another obscure classic resurrected by Born Twice Records. Vision is probably best known to some as the band that had two members of Lynyrd Skynyrd after they survived the infamous plane crash and converted to Christianity. Vision is usually labeled as Southern rock. While there is some southern rock in there, there is also a progressive side to many of the songs. It kind of all mixes together in some places. The first song on the album is good example of this mixture. They don’t really ever get more progressive or more southern than this song for the whole disc. This album was also obviously recorded on a tight budget. The digital processes used to clean up the sound are slightly obvious in some places. Sometimes you think there is a weird buzz in the background, but it turns out to be the guitars way back in the mix. With an indie album this old, this isn’t a complaint as much as an observation. Several of these songs were re-recorded on the self-titled follow-up, where they sound a bit beefier, fuller, and even rawer than here.
