So, anyone already got their pre-ordered Whirlwind delivered?

It needed some time to sink in at first, but after a few spins I think it rocks! 'Is It Really Happening?' could easily turn out to be the best bit of music Transatlantic has ever produced! :o *horns*

Yes, last Saturday. With a loud bang it landed on my doorstep.  ;D
Fortunately the air-sockets (if that's spelled correctly) of the envelope made sure that the box wasn't damaged.

The intro is very All Of The Above ( and somewhere i can even hear a Pink Floyd echo in the first seconds), then it's typical Morse/Transatlantic.

The song you describe is indeed top notch but i'm afraid the whole album is stuffed with moments like that.  *horns* *ola* *horns*

Yes indeed Transatlantic are back, and what a fantastic album I must say The Whirlwind is, I love this band to bits. I just ordered my tickets to see them at the O2 Shepperd's Bush Empire on the 21st May. Its gonna be a great night that's for sure. I just hope they make another Live DVD or even a Blu Ray after this tour is over, that would be very tasty.

Mad, you will be happy to know (but I guess you already know  ;)) that the Transatlantic show lasts about 3 hours and that the guys are in great shape, especially Daniel Gildenlöw who is the one that moves and jokes the most on stage. That's what I learnt reading reports of Lyon and Paris gigs that I couldn't attend ...  :'(

I had preferred that he had more influence on the music of Transatlantic, but he's not even a full member  :-\

Nicky.
So you've come of age
And so you want to meet God
Sure you can
He's right here next to me

No but he can play every (musical ;D) instrument so I think he's the perfect addition to Transatlantic's live line-up.

Seeing them tonight by the way. Can't wait! *horns*

cool that means I get to enjoy tomorrow afternoon before the Transatlantic gig in the evening.

I went to see The pineapple Thief last night a very enjoyable concert in an incredibly small venue.

Amazing album and the concert I attended in Cologne a few months ago was awesome!
Can't wait to get a DVD from that tour. I heard they filmed the show in London.

Thanks for info Teunis!
Those guys know how to make money with all the deluxe editions and stuff.
On the tour they sold vinyls from all albums with big booklets for a lot of money too :)

A true gem in my collection, I'd say. 8)

Quote Neal Morse:
"We are going to start working on a new Transatlantic album! We have set dates in May and, my friends, it is actually happening! Before I left for the tour (and even just a few days ago) I had a lot of really strong prog music ideas that I'm really excited about presenting to the guys. But, of course everything has to be kind of secret until we actually do it, so I can't say or tell much more than that, but we're all really excited about it! We will probably look for a release in early 2014. But, who knows?! I'm just glad we are doing it!"

That is really awesome news!
TransAtlantic's latest album "The Whirlwind" was a huge succes if you ask me! In my opinion each album surpasses the former.
Which means that the next one should be another total masterpiece!
