Did you order from Radiant?

I ordered thru radiant and still did not receive anything yet.  hopefully today.

A bad DT album (as if such a thing will ever exist) is 100x better than anyone elses good album.

My copy of the Deluxe Edition just arrived from Radiant.  Hope to spin it here this afternoon yet.

I'm addicted to placebos.

Literally just came in the mail.  Fuck plans, I'm spending today inside!

LMAO at the "family" picture in the sleeve for the bonus disc.  Can we get a wallpaper of that Mr. Portnoy?

AMAZING!

I'll wait until more people have it until I get into details. Unbelievable.
It was worth the wait!!!!

Mine just arrived, and the wife's out of town until Monday! This will be a loud weekend!

Let me just add that I love Pete Trewavas' bass lines and sound on this album. Just perfect.
I just finished watching the Making Of DVD and it's really cool, too. Unfortunately there is no footage of Roine recording his parts but it's fun to watch and great to see the guys having so much fun.

Just got mine in the mail from Radiant.  I'm starting to salivate (like Pavlov's Dogs)!

Totally not fair. My mail came today and I got nothing.

Holy ff... duck!! Nothing here...  DAMN!!!

  

Yeah, I got nothing either. Here's to hoping for tomorrow, or else it's coming on Monday.

The problem is, or rather one of the problems, for there are many, a sizable number of which are continually clogging up the civil, commercial, and criminal courts in all areas of the Galaxy, and especially, where possible, the more corrupt ones, this.

No email from Radiant + Postal Strike = no TA.   Hopefully get it before November.  *crosses fingers*

Same here! My GF left for a training until Wednesday and the CD just arrived, so this one will be played loud as hell and no one will complain!

Just opened mine.....I ordered from Radiant....bummer I won't be able to listen until later tonight but am psyched nonetheless.........

Did you order from Radiant?

ya, i ordered it as soon as they announced that it was going on pre-order.  the packaging is pretty sweet.  just started to listen to the album......

hmm if you received yours already, maybe mine will be waiting at home... that would be awesome if it was, can't wait to see and hear!!!

Actually mine probably isn't here yet, I just ordered it a week ago I think, maybe a little more than a week, can't remember. Oh well, I'll just be patient somewhat I think ummm yeah...

BRING IT!!!

Are these delivered with USPS or UPS/FedEx?

Shocked, happy and excited to find mine in the mailbox.

I will be listening tonight while I do the checkbook and pay bills. It'll be the happiest I've ever been while paying bills, I'm sure.

Got mine, listening now in prog heaven!!

Mine just arrived.  Can't wait to enjoy this big batch of proggy goodness all weekend!

Got mine today- amazing album. I agree with someone who posted about Pete's bass lines- they are exceptional. This album sounds very mature and smooth and definitely has a flow to it. Excellent job all around. Definitely some Yes and Floyd influence in this.

The documentary is fun too. Hopefully everyone else gets it and can enjoy it.

damn, didn't come today.

Not all of Texas, mine arrived today :)

I got it yesterday as well. I'm on A Man Can Feel right now. I'm definitely liking what I'm hearing so far. I like the packaging too, and I'm looking forward to watching the dvd tomorrow.

I got this email from amazon on October 14th:

"Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:
 Transatlantic "Whirlwind: +DVD"
Estimated arrival date: November 05 2009 - November 11 2009"


I want it so bad

4 - 8 - 15 - 16 - 23 - 42 - Are you lost??

is it really happening? --> last part!

The Whirlwind is currently playing in my ears! So far so prog! 

Whirlwind + 6 degrees =  2 hours of awesome

Damn, the Saturday mail just came and no CD....

Is there any version in a jewel case?

is it really happening? --> last part!

I know what you're saying now... 

I hope to get mine today. I ordered the deluxe edition plus So Many Roads, plus his latest worship disc. I live in Indianapolis, which is not too far from Nashville, plus Indy is a postal hub, so we tend to get things faster.

Fuck yes my 3 disc set came in yesterday!

Oklahoma City reporting in. I ordered the Deluxe edition from Radiant and it hasn't shown up yet. Hopefully Monday.

Watching the DVD right now and the biggest thing I noticed is what a driving force Pete was in the studio. The guys then did a little section mentioning what a force he was and how many of his ideas are on the record.

By the way, it's freakin' awesome. I listened to it twice last night.

I'm about four minutes into the Overture, and I can already tell that I'm going to love this. Thanks so much, guys, for making another one!

My copy arrived in the mail last night.  I didn't check the inbox until this morning so it was a pleasant and almost unexpected surprise.  I was guesstimating that it would arrive on or after Tuesday.

GOT MINE TODAY!!! Did anyone else who ordered with So Many Roads only get The Whirlwind?  I know the SMR release date isn't till next month, but I recall Radiant said it would be sent out early if ordered in the bundle.

I ordered both, and already got So Many Road's over a week a go.  Still no Whirlwind...probably get it monday

Alright, if you already have yours, mine HAS to come today.

Got mine today.  Nothing better to take the pain of the swine flu away than a shot of Transatlantic! Ha Ha

Is It Really Happening?  Is It Really, Going To Last?

Sweet, just came in the mail!

None for me yet. I plenty to keep me busy this weekend until then. getting it at or before the release date is still a blessing.

Blast. I don't know why I'd hoped it would be here yet... I'm nervous it won't come at all, because there was a lot of weirdness when I ordered it off Radiant Records. Cheri confirmed that I had purchased one, but I never got any real confirmation email nor the free download or anything, and to even get that little affirmation from the folks there took three or four emails... Yeesh, I hope it gets here soon.

Sweet, got my copy of the Deluxe Version and SMR in the mail today!!!!!
 
Sucks I'll have to wait till tomorrow night to watch/listen to any of it.  Stupid work.

A bad DT album (as if such a thing will ever exist) is 100x better than anyone elses good album.

Deluxe Editon came yesterday. Watched the DVD last night. Listened to the bonus disc this morning.
 
I love everything about the packaging.
 
A lot of love went into this. It really is the Transatlantic family album.
 
Just like Mike to toss out that 2010 tour tease.
 
I guess I'll expose myself to The Whirlwind tomorrow and maybe So Many Roads later next week.

One reason I don't like living in Canada: No mail on the weekend.

What exactly is the Whirlwind about......I scanned the lyrics a bit, but could not get the gist........Is it a story?  or what?

Bah, you Americans and your weekend mail. Lucky people.

Oh well. I've waited seven years for the next TA release; I can wait another day. Or two. Maybe.

Maybe not for long.  The US Postal Service wants to eliminate Saturday delivery to save money.

Are you kidding me???!!!

Can someone here please confirm this...
What kind of Yes-ish vibe?

Well "Spinning" (first song on disc 2) sounds EXTREMELY Yes-ish. The intro is very reminiscent of "Heart of the Sunrise", and there are a lot of Fragile-to-Relayer era Yes influences in the rest of the song (and the album) as well.

I think Evermore (#7) sounds a lot like Yes, especially the bass lines and vocal melodies.

Does it shock you that they have a Yes and Pink Floyd Floyd influence? Wow!

Now known as João "John" Piruças

It does not shock me.
I just didn't hear Yes-ish vibes on their first two releases to be honest.
Or at least what is Yes-ish for me.

But I have to add that I enjoy BAF a lot more than SMPTe...

LOVE this album! The last few minutes of "Is It Really Happening" is perhaps the best thing Transatlantic has ever recorded!

Pieces of Heaven is a killer song. Love the ghost notes.

Ordered in the pack with the Neal Morse live box set.

So did I. I haven't had this much excitement for an album release since Vapor Trails.

The first track on disc one (after the Overture) has a bass line groove that was reminiscent of Yours Is No Disgrace; there is another bass line on disc one that reminded me of Floyd's ANIMALS (I can't remember the song on either album...maybe Sheep?).
 
This is not a criticism by any stretch; I am so impressed with Trewavas' bass playing that it's hard to focus on any of the other parts of the song right now. This is just such an impressive piece adn I'm happy they got back together to record this album. Gets better with every listen.

Well I got 5 spins in this weekend so it's had some time to sink in.
 
All in all I think it's a really cool record with some unbelievable parts. However, I do think it feels much more like a
NM solo album on about 75%. The way the songs are constructed with recurring themes and the way NM "builds" an album, it has a recognizable feel. Lyrically it feels like a NM solo album as well. Not that it's a bad thing but I just
feel of all 3 TA albums this one sounds most like a NM album with special guests.
 
The sound is superb and I agree that the bass playing is superb. As usual Mike sounds great, both his playing and
the sound of the recorded drums.
 
Not sure where it will land against the other TA albums.

I'm bad at recognizing voices.

Exactly what I was going to say. I'll add that Trewavas freakin' rocks this album and at this point he is the star of the album for me. I'll always love MP on any album and he shows once again why he is untouchable on drums but the bass is unreal and steals the show for me.

Can someone confirm or deny this shipping confirmation email business? Reading through the last page of this thread is a bit confusing. As far as I know, radiant have never sent out emails for shipping confirmation.

Not that i'm expecting this to arrive in the southern hemisphere for another 1-2 weeks anyway. But i'm just wondering if I should be worried.

I ordered from Radiant and never recieved any e-mail confirmation. The Deluxe Edition just showed up in the mail last Friday.

The only email I got from them was the order confirmation when I first ordered it the day it was announced, and I got it friday.

I did not receive a shipping "confirmation" from Radiant.  I received an email that said, in part, that the Whirlwind special edition box sets had arrived and that the pre-orders were going to be shipped immediately.

That was a week ago today.  I did not receive my copy last week.  But maybe they are shipping them alphabetically by last name or something and if that's the case, with a last name that starts with T I may have a few more days to go.
