Captured in Time

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Impeccably arranged vocals; lush, layered harmonies; instrumental and vocal versatility -- these are the hallmarks of GLAD. GLAD, the band, began on the campus of West Chester State University near Philadelphia, PA in the early '70's. Formed as a progressive Christian rock band with classical/jazz leanings and an emphasis on complex vocals, GLAD has always borrowed from a wide range of musical genres. The band made its first two records for Myrrh/Word between 1978 and 1980. On their second outing, Beyond a Star, the group began to dabble with an a cappella sound ("The Reason"). In '81 the group signed with Benson Records (now Benson Music Group), their home for thirteen years, during which they operated initially in the "band" mode. Over time, the group's sound evolved into a sophisticated pop/jazz style, with one a cappella offering on each record. As an experiment, in 1988, the group recorded an entire album of a cappella -- a mixture of original tunes and elaborately re-arranged hymns. The public responded in a big way by purchasing over 300,000 copies of "The Acapella Project", and GLAD began to alternate their "band" and a cappella recordings.

Skipping forward a few years -- in 1995 and 1996 GLAD made several bold strokes -- with "Color Outside the Lines" in the band mode; "A Cappella Gershwin," a recording of masterfully arranged compositions by George and Ira Gershwin; and another fine addition to the series which began as "just an experiment", "The A Cappella Project III". Late November of 1998 brought the release of "A Cappella Worship - The Highest Glory," a recording of God-exalting worship songs which marks the return of the team that launched the first "Acapella Project" -- George King, as executive producer; Ed Nalle, as producer; and Bob Kauflin, as lead arranger (3 original songs penned by Bob, and a total of seven arrangements).

Album Description
Originally released in 1982, "Captured in Time" was GLAD's third album. Featuring the classic, jazz-tinged pop sound and tight harmonies that put GLAD on the map, this record will please old and new fans alike. Tracks such as "Light Up Your World," "Anywhere I Go," and "Hide Myself in You" contain the solid, scripture-based lyrics for which GLAD is still known. An early rendition of "Be Ye Glad," written by Michael Kelly Blanchard and well-known as a powerful and moving modern hymn, is also included on this album. This version of "Captured in Time" was rereleased in 1997 by Light Records, along with other vintage GLAD material, such as "No Less Than All," "Live at the Kennedy Center," and "Champion of Love."

I Remember.........2006-12-30

sayIng some Anti things at a Petra concert. The singer didn't want to meet me. He managed to ask me if I was going through chemo and said later Babes, though he wouldn't sign an autograph. I think I sat too near for him not to know I said anti things about the sincerity of Petra. well a signing off and a hey Babes is worth something,as is concern. So.. I guess I'll review the album in the context of a kind nostalgia. I used to love the song "Adonai" "Voice in the Wind" off Beat the System. I here love God Gave Rock N Roll to you which is live incredible and not so bad on the original album. John Lawry is an abandoned orphan. He was adopted by the World Mission for children and talks about it on this album. He's Petra's Keyboard player here. He talks about this in "Hollow Eyes" a lovely song off Beat the System" of which this album is a live performance of, as well as killer medleys of harder songs such as "Judas Kiss" and the Keyboard mastery of Handel's Messiah, and other Lawry masterpieces makes any Poo-Pooing of their religious beliefs a non-happening. The Ballad medley is a sing along that does not go away with more enlightened or socially free religious beliefs. I love Petra. Musicianship, John's story, and my meeting with the singer are things which cannot be cast aside for anything in this world. Beat the System and this album are must haves for the Jews, for the rockers. as "Adonai" is a Jewish thing. Thanks. And thank you..

The End Of An Era and The Beginning of A New One for Petra........2006-07-14

"Captured In Time and Space" is Petra's first live album and up until the release of their "Farewell" CD, it had been their only live album. It also marked the end of an era for the band as it would be the final album with lead singer Greg X. Volz. Shortly afterwards, he would be replaced by former Head East singer John Schlitt who would remain with Petra until the end.
"Captured In Time and Space" was recorded during Petra's monumental "Beat The System" tour and presents the band at one of the peak times in their career. Tracks such as "Beat The System", "Speak To The Sky", "God Pleaser" and the three medleys of "Rock", "acoustic" and "Praise" songs show the band at their most energized. The spoken introductions as well as Volz's altar call towards the end of the album definitely prove that Petra wasn't just out to entertain - they were out to spread Truth and Truth in all its Glory.
While this CD is at a generous length of 73-minutes, it should be noted that what is heard on the CD is in fact an edited version of the original LP. Many of the between-song dialogues were shortened and the improvisational piece "the Great I Am" (which was originally between the altar call and the closing piece "It Is Finished") was edited out altogether.
Despite this, "Captured In Time and Space" is still an all-time classic and one of the finest albums from the Volz-era Petra. For those who were around when it first happened, pop this CD in and enjoy a great trip down memory lane. For those who weren't, you're in for something special.

Amazing Music with a Great Message.......2003-08-07

The LIVE Petra album "Captured in Space and Time" is a compilation of some of their best live concerts from 1989. The music is amazingly energetic, uplifting and entertaining. They also share a message of hope and encouragement that was very helpful to me at a tremendously difficult time in my life. I was going through a very rough time, and I would listen to this album and it would lift my spirit and renew my hope. Thank you Petra, for sharing your music and message of faith with us!

Glad to have found this CD re-issue.......2005-11-30

Although, I like quite a bit of Glad's later material and their vocal skills have never diminished, it was earlier Glad that made an impact on me. Captured in Time represents their best effort in my opinion. Everything worked. The musicianship was first rate, the production very professional, the writing was powerful and every song is saturated with scripture. At first listen, this music is enjoyable just for the music's sake; however, repeated listens and attention to the lyrics will reveal substance beyond the aural.

I highly recommend this CD while it is still in stock and available. I went many years listening to a worn out cassette but this digital version is so much better.

I would also recommend Beyond a Star but it is almost impossible to find as I think it never made it to CD (if anyone knows otherwise PLEASE let me know). Romans is another title that ministers but again, extremely hard to find.

Find what early titles you can, listen and Be Ye Glad!

Timeless!.......2003-06-14

I was surprised to learn that this CD was first recorded by Glad in 1982. The vocal skills of this group have wide appeal because of their timeless musicianship and the message they are conveying. Their style features impeccable harmony and pleasing arrangements which show their love of the Lord in a wonderful way. The mood of the music is upbeat and uplifting and has a message for Christians in any stage of their walk. The songs on the album are not widely known, so they have a fresh appeal and each one is a delightful surprise. This is the first Glad CD I have bought, but it won't be the last!

GLAD's early band years at it's best!.......2001-10-20

This is what I consider to be one of GLAD's best band albums. Not only in musicianship but lyrically as well. This album may have been released in 1982, but the songs are still relevant today. And their listening styles are easy as ever, with light jazz to a 80's pop feel, they have it all. I have loved listening to this album for so many years, it's been such a blessing to me. And just to let you know...if I was stuck on an island with only one GLAD band album to choose, this would be one of my top picks!!!

Incredible Vintage Glad.......2000-07-14

This is one of my favorite Glad albums. Not only is it a great evangelism to non-believers, but it brings a needed reminder to Christians that God is always there for us, even when we have "Questions", or want to "Hide Myself in You". This album also contains Glad's "signature" song, "Be Ye Glad", by Michael Kelly Blanchard, one of my favorites. Musically, the entire album is a masterwork of tight harmony, clean, clear vocals, and wonderful arrangements. Not only do these guys carry a powerful message, but they present it with amazing talent.
