V

As a prog fan of old (i.e. Yes, Genesis, Rush, Elp...ect.) it was a surprising breath of fresh air to discover Transatlantic and their amazing work. As a result of that, i'm finally checking out the bands that came before that supergroup. Besides Dream Theater, Spock's Beard is my next venture. "V" is one hell of a spin. Makes me realize the influence Neil Morse has in Transatlantic, and I love it. My first Spock's album (thank you itunes) is a swirling mix of beautiful sounds, strong melodies, virtuoso playing and songcraft, excellent production, and mostly non filler material. Complex but not contrived. This is the highest rated Spock's album on here, so this is what i got. And i cant wait for my next.......suggestions for #2?
