TRANSATLANTIC FLIES AGAIN!!! PROGRESSIVE ROCK SUPERGROUP REUNITES FOR NEW STUDIO ALBUM. POSSIBLE LATE 2009 RELEASE PLANNED. TRANSATLANTIC, the progressive rock "supergroup" comprised of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Pete Trewavas (Marillion), Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings) and Neal Morse (ex-Spock's Beard), have reunited after a 7 year hiatus to begin work on a brand new studio album. The band began work on the album in early April in Nashville and are expected to have it released by year's end if all goes as planned. TRANSATLANTIC have previously released two studio albums to tremendous critical and fan accl.. 2000's SMPTe and 2001's Bridge Across Forever. The band toured on the heels of each release with an American Tour in 2000 and a European Tour in 2001 and released subsequent Live DVD's/CD's from both tours before going their separate ways for an indefinite hiatus which lasted almost the entire decade. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112 Colt - Admin Team MMA

E-Dub, if you are reading this a big  to you for your detective work good sir. It just goes to show that those hours whiled away in airport lounges can be useful!
This is brilliant news. Can't wait for the album. If it's anywhere near as good as the other two I'll be well pleased.

Thanks, Guys. I do think it's cool that I'm being credited as 'cracking the story'; however, it really was dumb luck. I'm still surprised that I had the maracas to actually get up and go after him. My feet were moving before I even realized what I was doing. I do think what solidified it with me is when I text my friend who ran into Pete in Montreal and said he was flying to Nashville. After that I knew the stars were in perfect alignment. E -------------

Oh man, I just know Dream theater and Transatlantic are going to release KILLER ALBUMS. Every time Portnoy decides to make a side-project album it means that he is over-inspired, which means that he puts his best on his main band and the rest is the rest.
Oh boy, oh boy, I'm just feeling that 2009 is going to be awesome. -------------

It's definitively great news. However, I wish for these to not happen: _Preachy songs with Neal as lead vocalist _Overly Pretentious "look at me" drum solo. _The word "Cosmic" used as lyrics (Stolt) ;) Luckily, these never happened in their first two albums. |

What's nice is that if they are all flying in, they have material and are not going to mess around and draw out the recording. I am sure time is tight like the previous albums so we shouldn't have to wait forever to get our hands on it. Can not wait.

Thanks for that. Most of us probably thought this would never happen then out of the clear blue sky they spring it on us and a lot of people's wishes came true. Eight years we hoped it would happen. Could they at least throw us a bone? This is a pretty big deal to a lot of people.

Really? Wow, so he expresses his discontent for a politician by punishing the fans who are paying his salary just because they live in the same country? How is that better than any kind of bigotry or racism? I'm not crazy about Ahmadinejad, but if I had a few thousand fans in Iran I wouldn't turn down the chance to play for them...In fact, I wasn't crazy about Bush either, but I wouldn't have refused a gig here in the U.S.! ------------- https://www.facebook.com/ShadowCircus/" rel="nofollow - ..::welcome to the shadow circus::.. |

I don't want to edit it. I just wanted to divert this conversation away from that far-beyond-dead-horse topic of Daniel Gildenlow and various levels of assumptions regarding his dislike for American policy, leadership, or existence. That's all. I didn't realize that anybody past the third grade took offense at the term "dork," though admittedly, it could be a much stronger term in some other English dialect. Beats me. Sorry for the name-calling. No insult meant to anyone.

Gildenlow refused to tour in America because Homeland Security was requiring that he get fingerprinted before entering the country.
His decision to not tour here because of that pissed me off,because I feel he sh*t on all his fans here in the US.So I stopped buying PoS albums or any PoS merch,the hell with him. -------------  |

Their newest album, Whirlwind, to be released in late October, will contain one 77 minute epic piece.

From what I understand, Neal was working on this song for a few years, but when he presented it to the boys, they started dramatically changing and upgrading it. So it's a team effort, but at the core a Neal tune, so it should not be too meandering. I have faith.

Stolt said on his blog earlier that certain content on the new album will most likely rais a plenty of eyebrows. I guess this whas what he had in mind  . I do believe they can pull it off. Stolt of course wrote the 60-minute "Garden of Dreams" along with Tomas Bodin. And that track is, despite its enormous length, solid and truly epic and great (at least if you ask me). Stolt's writing-skills combined with not one but three other epic guys should therefore logically be enough to make a terrific 77-minute epic. Ooh I can't wait until oct ......... One thing that this has got me noticing, is that the previous TA albums also had bonus discs. Do anyone know where to find them? Amazon doesn't seem to have them ...

I thought there was no hope of a reunion. Now I hear about a 77 minute epic and an awesome bonus disc. The moment I hear I can preorder the special edition, I will. This is going to be awesome!

My most anticipated release of 2009, but have to admit at being a little disappointed with the cover art. I like the reoccurring airship theme, but this is just recycled from Bridge. They simply plopped it into another background. Still, this is going to be absolutely killer. E -------------

Imagine what they will do when there is no limit on the length of the media. Perhaps a 10 hour mp3. ------------- Allomerus. Music with progressive intent. http://allomerus.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - http://allomerus.bandcamp.com |

wow , a 77 minute epic!!! Their second album disappointed me, but I still have faith in Neal Morse/Roine Stolt. Neal Morse's solo career is full of great albums (especially the question mark one) and Stolt was in charge of the latest Flower Kings album. |

It sounds like they may still have it. The clips alone sound better than both the new DT and Neal releases. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph
