TRANSATLANTIC - Looking For The Light (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Transatlantic - the Prog Supergroup of Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Roine Stolt & Pete Trewavas – are pleased to announce their fifth studio album ‘The Absolute Universe’, set for release on the 5th February 2021. Representing the band’s first new music since 2014’s ‘Kaleidoscope’, with ‘The Absolute Universe’ the band have done something unique and created two versions of the record: ‘The Absolute Universe: The Breath Of Life (Abridged Version)’ & ‘The Absolute Universe: Forevermore (Extended Version)’.

Today they have launched the video for ‘Looking For The Light’, a track which features on both versions of ‘The Absolute Universe’.

Mike Portnoy comments: “Looking For The Light is one of the heavier tracks on The Absolute Universe. In the tradition of Transatlantic sharing all lead vocals, this track gave me my showcase to deliver the lead vocals as it called for a bit more of an aggressive approach.
This is one of the few tracks that remains primarily the same and appears on both versions of the album. However not content to keep it simple, the version included on the music video is actually a unique version which combines both Looking For The Light and its Reprise from later in the album into one combined version available only here in this video.”

Each album will be available on CD, LP & Digitally. But there will also be what has been called ‘The Absolute Universe: The Ultimate Edition’, which collects both versions together in one lavish package that includes 5LP’s, 3CD’s & a Blu-ray that includes a special mix that combines both versions into a third unique version in 5.1 surround sound with visuals and a behind the scenes documentary. All editions have artwork created by Thomas Ewerhard featuring the airship by Pavel Zhovba.

I can't think of any reason why Transatlantic wouldn't be included in the best prog bands of all time.

This album is SO wonderful, as is everything this band has come up with. I love that they all sing, contribute and focus on such a spiritual and uplifting message. It makes it all a very wonderful listen and almost life altering experience when you hear it. The albums that these fellows have made is so transformative and complete. I would thank them all in person, if I could.

Agreed Mike's vocals are fantastic. Really showcases Pete's bass playing too, lovely lines.

[andresyunapera]

I was expecting every track to be something like what we've already heard from Transatlantic, but this one is incredibly different though it conserves elements from the band's style. Amazing. Just amazing.
