TRANSATLANTIC'S THE WHIRLWIND - Available Now!!!

I AM EXPLODING WITH ANTICIPATION !!! I CAN NOT WATE FOR THIS

Great news!!! Cant wait for it!!!

Jezus Christ..

Best. Ever....

If this is good, I'm gonna die when I hear it. 



I'm not worried at all about the 77-minute epic issue, becasue it's gonna be a lot of different sections and small songs within this epic. It's probably gonna feel like a concept album, only beter.. Like 6DOIT cd2, but beter :)



NP: Stranger in your soul...........

im pretty sure some of this record was playing through then PA in between sets at PN09. seems as though everything we heard that nite was DT related....

The good news just keeps coming! Flippin 'eck!

The anticipation in the next two months might kill me!~

Seriously, weezul, you just lost your veteran status on this board.  Those footsteps you are hearing behind you belong to the crew I've sent over to beat some sense into you.  Still debating whether it's already too late...

This is amazing! Transatlantic is one of my favorite bands and I just can't believe yet that they're releasing a new studio album!

I've waited for this to come for so long...I started to listen to Transatlantic about the time Neal was leaving the band (and Spock´s Beard), so now I'm speechless and excited.....please go on tour!

Where?

From my local CD store.

WOOHOO!

I don't care if it's one giant lump of story music or several pieces stitched into a whole, I'm buying! Of course a certain coversong will have me listening to the bonus disc first....:-)

The special edition is the obvious choice here.

Album of the year for sure.

Woohoo!

lol without even hearing it yet?

OMFG!!!!! I need to rob a bank!!! :D

October won't come soon enough! EPIC!!!

Szabi,

Any chance you could make a TA wallpaper with the Live in Europe Artwork? The picture of the band on the cover is great! A full blown version of it would be wonderful

Can't really find any decent sized version of that cover...I might scan it at one point and see what I can do. We'll see :)

Not really high-res, but 768x768 atleast:

goo-goo is talking about the Live in Europe CD/artwork :)

With this new one I've already made a few:

Ah, sorry. That's what happens when you don't read =)

Just got the Inner Circle e-mail today.
I won't ruin anything, but any fans of Transatlantic/ Spock's Beard should sign up to IC for September's release.

Yeah, seems like a very interesting release, been a member for quite a while now though =)

Happy days

I cannot see any single editions selling (except to those buying both)

Like you, Funky? 

Their first two albums are some of the best prog ever recorded.  I am axiously awaiting this release!

Awesome!  I've been on a big TA kick lately, so this news couldn't come at a better time.  Really looking forward to hearing this.

How the hell are they possibly going to top their first two CDs?  It's some of the best epic prog I've ever heard.  I have no doubt this will blow both of them away, though.

thats the day after my birthday sounds sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

Now the question here is will The Whirlwind be one long 77-minute track, or a multi-sectioned song spread across multiple tracks, like 6DOIT or The Incident?

I personally would love to see just one long track. Imagine handing the case to a friend to check out, and he flips it over to read the tracklist and his jaw drops when he reads:

TRANSATLANTIC - THE WHIRLWIND

1. The Whirlwind (77:02)     [or whatever it really is]






I just feel like there is something kinda cool and kinda humourous for it to be just one track.

^ That question is already being debated to death.

I just had a vision... a co-headlining tour with Transatlantic / Dream Theater.

(that would be a nightmare (to remember) to Mike )

Sorry Mike, but it will be awesome for us!
