TRANSATLANTIC FLIES AGAIN!!!

16th April 2009

For Immediate Release
April 16th 2009

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

AGENTS OF MERCY - New project - New Album

31st January 2009

		On March 1st 2009 Foxtrot Music will release a brand new album "The Fading Ghosts Of Twilight" - by the new project called AGENTS OF MERCY. The album will initially be a LTD edition Digipack with 77 minutes of brand new music. Agents Of Mercy is a project spawned from a low key acoustic project that Roine Stolt set out to do in 2008, but after getting singer Nad Sylvan (Unifaun) on board to do a few "guest vocals" it turned into a full production prog album where Nad got more involved and did most of both lead and backing vocals on the album. Songs got longer and more elaborated and more symphonic and the common love of late 60's and early 70's prog is all over this album. A few favourite drummers tracked drums for the 12 tracks, Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, XTC, Stickmen, Tuner etc.) Zoltan Csörsz (TFK, Karmakanic) and Jimmy Keegan (Santana, Spocks Beard Live) the eccentric Biggo Zelfries (Walrus Farm) did most of the piano and analogue keyboards and TFK bassist Jonas Reingold add some fretless bass spice too. Silas Toball (www.silastoball.com) did the mysterious artwork for us and the album is mixed by agent 777 Stolt at Cosmic Lodge as usual. Tracklist : (this can still change) The Fading Ghosts Of Twilight Waiting For The Sun The Unwanted Brother Heroes & Beacons Jesus On The Barricades Afternoon Skies A Different Sun Ready To Fly? People Like Us A Soldiers Tale Bomb Inside Her Heart Mercury & Mercy the record can be ordered from (with paypal): merchandise@flowerkings.se Price: 20 euro (includes shipping) Or from Brian Dorbuck (USA): nanoook@charter.net Price: 27 us dollars (includes shipping) . First 100 of these limited edition CD's will be signed & nr. by agent 777 stolt First come first served. The albums are in stock March 1st and will be shipped in order as your order came in - so don't be late!!!
