TRANSATLANTIC – The Absolute Universe [The Ultimate Edition] (2021)
TRANSATLANTIC have never been a band to resist a challenge. So it should come as no surprise that for their fifth album, “The Absolute Universe“, the foursome of Neal Morse (keyboards, guitar vocals), Roine Stolt (guitar, vocals), Pete Trewavas (bass, vocals) and Mike Portnoy (drums, vocals) have really gone out to do something a little unusual. ‘
“We have actually come up with something unprecedented,” says Portnoy proudly. “We’ve got two versions of this album. There’s a two CD presentation, which is 90 minutes long, and a single one – that’s 60 minutes.” You can buy these separately, or this 3-CD ‘Ultimate Edition‘ package.
The single CD is NOT an edited version of the double CD. They’re new recordings, with different approaches to the songs, fresh lyrics, and different people singing on the single CD version tracks as compared to those on the double CD.
