I am SO excited!!!! This is the most anticipated release of the decade...no...of my lifetime so far. I can't wait! Transatlantic got me into prog and they broke up shortly before I discovered 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!

It's prog. It's supposed to be contrived. |

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 ...

Yeah, why would you not go for the double CD? I mean, four new songs, if nothing else?

I'm not surprised they'd release a single, 77 minute epic. It was almost inevitable. Hopefully it will be good. I have faith in them, but will listen with an open mind. Definitely have to go for the special edition.

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.

A 77-minute epic, eh? That worries me a bit, but for how strong their epics were, especially considering the time frame in which all of them were written, I think it may be great.

It appears super group Transatlantic seems to keep aiming higher and higher. Their newest album, Whirlwind, to be released in late October, will contain one 77 minute epic piece. If they can pull off a compelling track of that length, I will have the greatest respect for them. I hope they can do it. |

"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."
Has all gone as planned? Hard to tell since no one is talking |

Biggles was in rehab last Saturday
