TransAtlantic Reunion!

For Immediate Release

April 16th 2009

TRANSATLANTIC FLIES AGAIN!!!

PROGRESSIVE ROCK SUPERGROUP
REUNITES FOR NEW STUDIO ALBUM.
POSSIBLE LATE 2009 RELEASE PLANNED.

Transatlantic Band
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.

LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT – LIVE BOX SET NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

Originally, my intention was to record several shows and combine them to make one compilation CD/DVD release….but in reviewing the tapes, it became very obvious that the NYC and LA footage each offered very different perspectives of the shows we did…each with their own distinct personalities and both having their own charms (and flaws….)
 
The NYC show was very much a loud, sweaty, small club show (with alot of energy from the crowd) and the LA show was very much a more polished, breathing, theater experience (which offered a more relaxed «presentation»).
 
So in the end, I decided to simply offer both shows in their entirety…
It’s not often people will get to experience LTE Live, so why not offer you guys the chance to see and hear us in both settings….?
And even though the setlists are the same, you can hear some very subtle (and also some very obvious) differences from one performance to the next…

He comments: “After the excitement of putting together two very cool PROGRESSIVE NATION packages for North America, I knew it was time to bring the concept overseas and share some of these other great bands with our amazing fans throughout Europe and the UK”.

Liquid Trio Experiment 2 – When The Keyboard Breaks: Live In Chicago

2009 will see Ytsejam Records branch out with releases by select Dream Theater side projects on their new «Lazy Tomato Entertainment» label.
 
Coming this Spring will be the long awaited live CD and DVD releases by Liquid Tension Experiment.
 
But to whet your appetite until those titles are ready to go, we will launch Ytsejam’s side-project offspring with the release of the LIQUID TRIO EXPERIMENT 2 – «When The Keyboard Breaks: Live In Chicago» CD.
 
This is the infamous «jamarathon» which took place at LTE’s June 25th 2008 show in Chicago when Jordan Rudess’ keyboard broke down. Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci and Tony Levin proceeded to play and improvise almost 1 hour of insane musical madness to a stunned audience.
 
This was an unbelievably unique evening that can now be shared for those not fortunate enough to have been in attendance that very special night.
