5 stars 01. Duel With The Devil I. Motherless Children Long? No! What a fool that is beautiful! The beginning of bruno and violas are great for a beginning of this bombastic, the first part of the song has a great instrumental part. Instrumentalists sensational, I still wonder how to decorate so many parties and so complex. (yes! Decorate! Have they played live all right.) Can not notice a slight influence of Rush in the first part. And when the letter begins (at 4'40) not impossible to sing along. Heady chorus. II. Walk Away Guitar at the beginning to change. The 2nd part is very beautiful, the flower of skin sensitivity. The 2nd part of the 2nd part (laughs) has another great chorus, several vocal question and answer invade your ears and big voice at the end. Why did so between one part heavy and full of good irons and keyboards, drums quebradíssima (which is natural to Portnoy). The low-Pete always has a tone that I love, is what I call a 'knife', metallic sound that we inherited from Chris Squire (Yes).

III. Silence Of The Night The 3rd part calm to rethink everything. Closed for stocktaking, jazz means that part repeats the first verse of the song in a different tone of listening. The guitar melodies always doing sensational. Keith Mears there by both of its bounty with a saxophone which refers to the sound of Pink Floyd (always in the progressive rock saxophone will remember Pink Floyd, which is fine.) Which gives a touch even more sensational.

IV. You're Not Alone You're Not Alone is a great part, battery broken into 4 / 4 (and can?). Back to the chorus Motherless Children totally different. Emphasis on the bottom.

V. Almost Home The end of the music is a little distressing, to then return to calm. And the choir. Following a sensational touch to everything. An epic, without words.

02. Suite Charlotte Pike I. If She Runs That starts in totally relaxed pace, to 'mistakes' happen, and more were left. Most part full of charm. The groove is almost indecent! The other is finalzinho. 'It's hard ... It's hard ... It's hard ...)

II. Mr. Wonderful The emphasis here is on everything, melody master. Pianette bottom, low mandingo. A partezinha crazy, an ultra psychedelic keyboard for that then ...

III. Lost And Found Pt.1 Now begin the last portion of that there is legal in music. Without words, just sing along!

IV. Temple Of The Gods Back to previous melodies, gives me a feeling of comfort listening to a track that I already know a new music. Background vocals give a very nice touch. Why then ... new melodies.

V. Motherless Children / If She Runs (Reprise) You know what I think? What more analyzing the background as the disc now I'm more in love with him yet. If had been the first time I brought him home now so ....

03. Bridge Across Forever The song that gave name to the disk is typical ballad Neal Morse on piano (not that this is bad, however). When Neal composed beautiful ballads. Only the lyrics were changed with time for most subjects' as we say 'Christian, I think this is the beginning. Unfortunately after he found that was no longer legally participate in projects more say 'secular', whatever. It is beautiful, but I think the disk however, differs from the rest too. But the voice is worth it.

04. Stranger In Your Soul I. Sleeping Wide Awake New beginning of violins, violas and bruno, similar but different from the beginning. Then tones and keyboards that are not Genesis I do not know what it is (Caracas as Tony Banks is the influence it tecladistas progressive half of that came later). The melody that follows the guitar is unprecedented. Vocal undoubtedly amazing. You know what I feel listening to this? Ever seen those scenes in movies where the person puts his head out the window of the bus with a smile from ear to ear on the face and hair flying in the wind? So that is how I feel. Free, a new path for everything I expected out there.

II. Hanging In The Balance You then enter the party and I remember that life is reality and that reality is cruel. But it may be easier to go by way of your heart. Just pay attention to their surroundings. How I love the melody of the final.

III. Lost And Found Pt.2 'Do not you think if you could be lost' sing along. Karaoke progressive. If you did not wish to hear you sing as serious problems. Low sensational.

IV. Awakening The Stranger Weight! A lot! Guitars, bass and batteries, all followed closely by keyboards. What for the lull between then and again bring to light hearts.

V. Slide Passage of value and weight, unconditional love to the world of sound. Bela brought low. Neal of the keyboards are fabulous, fantastic timbre. A beautiful land of low end.

VI. Stranger In Your Soul The lyrics of the songs are wonderful existentialist. In his nearly half-hour epic that is fantastic, the proportion of any 70's, a band that few people know, we should search more for sure. PS. listen to the end, because only over when finished.

Since the first time I saw this disc, got the cover, I saw the names involved, I saw the time of songs, I put in the Sound and listened from the first time I felt privileged to have chosen the guys and these guys have chosen me, I more is that the world will hear when Transatlantic.
