Neal Morse never sleeps! In addition to co-writing and recording a new Transatlantic album (for release later this year),
Neal has also found time to write and record a new worship album. Containing 9 new original songs and 5 covers and
clocking in at over an hour, this new CD is something that hopefully listeners of all tastes can enjoy.
"I think this is the best one yet... the tracks that really stand out to me are "The River" and
"Holy is Our God"... but I like them all. I don't think there is a bum track on this record."
Featuring the co-lead vocals of Julie Harrison and the drumming prowess of Scott Williamson, this is a world class
worship record that even some prog fans might enjoy. The sound quality on this one is amazing! Cuts like
"Serve You In The Fire" and "I Fall On You" have a certain rock flare while other songs like
"Jesus Knows" are heart felt and beautiful. Engineered by Jerry Guidroz and Produced by Neal Morse.

TRANSATLANTIC FLIES AGAIN!!!
PROGRESSIVE ROCK SUPERGROUP
REUNITES FOR NEW STUDIO ALBUM.
POSSIBLE LATE 2009 RELEASE PLANNED.
TRANSATLANTIC, the progressive rock "supergroup" comprised of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Pete Trewavas (Marillion), Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings) and Neal Morse (ex-Spock's Beard), have reunited after a 7 year hiatus to begin work on a brand new studio album.
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.
TRANSATLANTIC have previously released two studio albums to tremendous critical and fan acclaim: 2000's SMPTe and 2001's Bridge Across Forever. The band toured on the heels of each release with an American Tour in 2000 and a European Tour in 2001 and released subsequent Live DVD's/CD's from both tours before going their separate ways for an indefinite hiatus which lasted almost the entire decade.
