THE WHIRLWIND

For those who have not listened to Transatlantic (progressive rock supergroup formed by Neal Morse, Roine Stolt, Pete Trewavas and Mike Portnoy) this is a great starting point, especially if you are a classic prog fan or if you like long music pieces. Twelve tracks, but it's considered a unique song of 77 minutes. The lyrics and the concept of the album are really enjoyable, very inspiring songs.

Musically, what can we say? All of the musicians show their great individual skills but with a solid band writing, and a nice mix by Rich Mouser. In this record, they sound more like a band. After a decade since their two first albums (SMPTe and Bridge Across Forever), they returned with these mature compositions, showing a great evolution individually and a great complicity as bandmates. Without any doubt this album was their best job.

This is a must in prog rock history.
