This is the 1st album by supergroup Transatlantic consisting of ex Spock's Beard singer Neil Morse, The Flower Kings guitarist Roine Stolt, Marillion bassist Pete Trewavas and ex Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy. They formed as a sideproject in 1999.

The music on this disc consists of only 5 songs with the first clocking in at 31 minutes! I really like the variation, song quality and also heaviness on the album. It has a good sound and production and there's always something happening in the songs but it's also kept together in a professional way. Well, these guys are no beginners! A great album!

Swede Roine Stolt has recorded with the band Kaipa in the 1970's and The Tangent in the 2000's and also appears on other band's albums as well as some soloalbums in he's own name. American Mike Portnoy had prior to this album played with both Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment.

1)All of the above (8,5) 31 minutes of good progressive rock!

2)We all need some light (9,0) Fantastic ballad!

3)Mystery train (8,5) Strange but very good heavy rocker.

4)My new world (7,5) 16 minute jazzy prog.

5)In held ('twas) in I (7,5) A 1968 Procul Harum-cover.

Score: 8,20
