A random pairing of the words "acrylic" and "prism".

"It lets the music of the band be heard by people from all over the world. To me, that is something special".

ACRYLIC PRISM WAS FORMED BY KEVIN KOERBER AND ERIC HOPKINS IN THE SUMMER OF 1974. ALONG WITH LARRY SHEPHERD, WHO APPEARED ON THEIR FIRST DEMO RECORDINGS, THEY COMPLETED THEIR FIRST COLLECTION, "ACRYLIC PRISM" ON NOVEMBER 31ST, 1975. AFTER ONE MORE PROJECT, "CELLUOID DREAM" IN 1976, ERIC LEFT OVER MUSICAL DIFFERENCES AND CONCENTRATED ON HIS OWN MUSIC. KEVIN AND LARRY DECIDED TO CARRY ON WITH NEW MEMBER, BILL FERREBEE. THEY RECORDED 'NARCISSUS" IN 1976. SOON AFTER, BOTH LARRY AND BILL QUIT TO PURSUE OTHER INTERESTS. AROUND THIS TIME, KEVIN ASKED BOB POSTLETHWAIT TO JOIN HIM FOR THE NEXT COLLECTION, "MELLOW MUSIC". A FEW MONTHS LATER, BOB ALSO LEFT ACRYLIC PRISM. IN 1978, KEVIN REFORMED THE BAND WITH HIS BROTHER KEITH ON DRUMS AND CHRISS HILL ON VOCALS AND KEYBOARDS. THE RESULT WAS "CALCULATED INSANITY". THIS LINEUP LASTED FOR ONE RECORDING. BETWEEN 1980 AND 1985, KEVIN RECORDED SOME SOLO PIECES, WORKED WITH GUITARIST / KEYBOARDIST JIM RUSTEMEYER ON THE ACRYLIC PRISM COLLECTIONS, "CHALLENGER" AND "CYCLES" AND FORMED JIMSON & HOLLINGSWORTH WITH CHRISS HILL. IN LATE 1985, KEVIN REFORMED ACRYLIC PRISM AGAIN, ONLY WITH A NAME CHANGE, ACRYLIC PRISM FEATURING KEVIN KOERBER. WITH FORMER MEMBERS CHRISS HILL AND KEITH KOERBER, BRENT YOST WAS TAPPED TO PLAY GUITAR. THE RESULTING WORK WAS CALLED, "ACRYLIC PRISM 1986" AND WAS REVIEWED BY AREA ROCK COLUMNIST JOE LAMPERT FOR THE WHEELING - INTELLIGENCER, A LOCAL NEWSPAPER. BACKED BY THIS NEW NOTERITY, THE BAND RECORDED "ARRIVING ONE DAY LATE" IN 1987 WITH THE ADDITION OF FRANK JERICO ON DRUMS ALONG WITH KEITH KOERBER AND BRENT YOST. CHRISS HILL OPTED OUT FOR THIS PROJECT. ACRYLIC PRISM WAS'NT HEARD FROM AGAIN UNTIL 1994 WHEN KEVIN AND CHRISS HILL REJOINED FORCES WITH JIM RUSTEMEYER ON GUITAR AND KEYBOARDS. THEY RECORDED "ACRYLIC PRISM 1994". THIS LINEUP ALAS DID'NT SURVIVE LONG. IN 1998 KEVIN AND CHRISS HILL RECORDED "UNO NOVA GAIA". THIS WAS TO BE THE FINAL ACRYLIC PRISM EFFORT OF THE CENTURY. IN 2002, KEVIN RELEASED A "BEST" OF COLLECTION CALLED, "BEND TO THE LIGHT / THE BEST OF ACRYLIC PRISM - 1975 - 2002". THE NEXT PROJECT, "ALL PROBLEMS HAVE SOLUTIONS" WAS DESIGNED TO BE THE FINAL GASP OF THE BAND. KEVIN KOERBER WROTE, RECORDED, PRODUCED AND PERFORMED THE PROJECT BY HIMSELF WITH JIM RUSTEMEYER HELPING OUT ON ELECTRIC GUITAR. IN 2004, KEVIN RELEASED, "ACRYLIC REMIXED" A REMIX CD OF OLDER TRACKS AND SOME NEW MATERIAL. THE YEAR 2005 MARKED A MILESTONE FOR THE BAND, THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY. KEVIN KOERBER, JIM RUSTEMEYER AND CHRISS HILL REUNITED FOR "RELEASE". SHORTLY AFTER IN EARLY 2006, KEVIN COMPILED "FADED LIGHT: THE BEST OF ACRYLIC PRISM - 1975 - 2005" A 41 TRACK BOX - SET OF ACRYLIC PRISM MUSIC, FROM 1975'S "ACRYLIC PRISM (THEME & REPRISE)" TO THE COMPLETE "RELEASE" PROJECT. WHICH BRINGS US UP TO DATE. 2008 IS THE 33RD ANNIVERSARY, AND A NEW CD, "33 RPM - THE VERY BEST OF ACRYLIC PRISM - 1975 - 2008" IS BEING COMPILED AND WILL BE AVAILABLE IN EARLY 2008. ALSO IN 2008, A CD OF BRAND NEW MATERIAL WILL BE RELEASED AND IS CALLED, "PASSAGE TO THE INFINITE".
