Is it odd that Neal Morse is working with a guitarist named Morse, who isn't his brother Alan?  Are the Morse brothers the Gallagher (Oasis) brothers of Prog?

I used to jokingly consider Neal and Steve working together due to the name connection, but never expected to see it actually happen, so I'm pretty excited.

I hope Steve Morse is the primary composer. Have you guys heard Dixie Dregs? Incredibly intricate and playful music, would love to hear more from him. Dude's fond of keyboardists with better chops than Neal, though. 

On the other side of the coin, he was a lot of fun to listen to in Kansas, so even if it's mostly Neal-style, it'll still be neat.

^ As much as that sounds good I think Steve has been in a compositional rut for about 10 years. I saw the SMB in January and while the new CD is good it isn't a whole lot different than the last several SMB cds.   Maybe working this lineup will open some things up.  It sure will be fun live though.

It certainly has the potential to be.

Which to me tells me I will not see his potential come out anymore after Dream Theater.
 
And DT will end up as just a so-so metal band that will go thru a different drummer for every album.
 
 


nah

Great news if this is true - Neal and Mike are best friends and work so well together
 
 
i saw them again on the testimony live DVD and they really have strong unified presence on stage.

Apparently they entered the studio more than a month ago ... so we should expect a mid-summer release. Here's some links to forum posts about the recording sessions:
