Prelude to History is the second and final studio album by German girl group Preluders. It was released on 27 September 2004 by Cheyenne Records, Polydor and Zeitgeist. A collection of cover versions of songs from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, it features production by Thorsten Brötzmann, Andre "Brix" Buchmann, and Ingo Politz. Upon its release, the album underperformed, debuting and peaking at number 44 on the German Albums Chart. It spawned two moderately successful singles with "Walking on Sunshine" and a remake of The Contours' "Do You Love Me", resulting in lackluster sales in general.

Critical reception

Professional ratings
Review scores
SourceRating
laut.de[1]

The album was largely panned. Alexander Cordas from laut.de rated the album one out of five stars.[1] He found that Prelude to History offered "the same old polyphonic sing-song over and over again, just as if the vocal coach had completely failed [...] There are one or two voices that have a penchant for gratification."[1]

Chart performance

[edit]

Prelude to History debuted and peaked at number forty on the German Albums Chart in the week of 11 November 2004.[2] This was a considerable decline from the band's previous effort Girls in the House (2003), which had opened at number two ten months earlier.[2]
