Transatlantic – zvezdniška progresivnorockovska naveza, v kateri sodelujejo bobnar Mike Portnoy (Sons of Apollo, Neal Morse Band, Flying Colors, The Winery Dogs, ex-Dream Theater), klaviaturist Neal Morse (Neal Morse Band, Flying Colors, ex-Spock’s Beard), kitarist Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings) in basist Pete Trewavas (Marillion), bodo 5. 2. 2021 izdali pri nemški založbi InsideOut Music svoj novi in skupno peti studijski album z naslovom “The Absolute Universe”.
Album bo izšel v dveh verzijah. Podaljšani, s celotnim naslovom “The Absolute Universe: Forevermore (Extended Version)” in skrajšani, s celotnim naslovom “The Absolute Universe: The Breath Of Life (Abridged Version)”.
Vsled promocijskih aktivnosti so Transatlantic prvi video in single z novega albuma oziroma njegove skrajšane (“abridged”) verzije za skladbo Overture/Reaching for the Sky”, predstavili že 20. 11. 2020.
Sedaj je na voljo še en video in single. Tokrat za skladbo “Looking for the Light”, ki ga lahko preverite spodaj.
Transatlantic bobnar Mike Portnoy je v zvezi s skladbo “Looking For The Light” povedal sledeče: Gre za tršo skladbo albuma “The Absolute Universe”. V skladu s Transatlantic tradicijo delim na albumu praviloma vse vodilne vokale, no ta skladba, pa je od mene zahtevala, da pristopim z agresivnejšim vokalom.”
!The Absolute Universe” bo izšel v različnih formatih. Obe verziji albuma! Podaljšana in skrajšana. Kot CD, LP in digitalno. Za tiste s preveč denarja, pa bo na razpolago tudi verzija, ki se imenuje “The Absolute Universe: The Ultimate Edition”. Uganili ste. Gre za orjaški zaboj, ki združuje obe verziji albuma skupaj in ga zastopa: 5 LP-jev, trije CD-ji in Blu-ray obdelan v zvočni tehniki v 5.1. Surround Sound miksa in posnetki iz zakulisja snemanja albuma.
Naslovnico za album je ustvaril Thomas Ewerhard.
