At the suggestion of Mike Portnoy, Neal has put together a disc of demos and
a few clips from his hand held cassette recorder from as far back as 1992 and
up into 2000. Neal says "I think the coolest thing about this CD is that
you get to hear what I originally brought to the guys, which shows you where
they took it. I was real surprised when I listened back. I had forgotten all
the different turns the music took and it was really fun listening to it
again." A fascinating look inside the mind of the man who has been the
driving force behind the best prog of the last 10 years, this release is a
must have for all Transatlantic fans.
The art package is made up of liner notes from Neal
telling what he remembers about writing each song,
original lyric sheets and unused photos of the band.
