3 stars Worth every penny!
This CD has everything you ever wanted from the next Transatlantic release. This music has a heavy side and a soft side and the way it all moves from one to the other is simply beautiful. If you're looking for something to expand your musical listening range, this CD will be perfect for you. You will not be disappointed.

Transatlantic drummer and founder Mike Portnoy has been bucking and setting trends since the early '90s by immersing himself in progressive rock at a time when grunge and teen bands ruled. His primary band, Dream Theater, raised the bar for musicianship and complexity while helping to establish the progressive metal genre. Portnoy showed his depth and diversity by forming the critically and commercially successful bands Liquid Tension Experiment and Transatlantic. The latter's SMPTe proved to be a groundbreaking release by reviving the progressive sound of the ...

Neal Morse Testimony CDs (2003)

The Whirlwind

$16.29

Contains 21 tracks.
Personnel includes: Neal Morse (vocals, guitar); Mike Portnoy (drums); Kerry Livgren.
This is where it all opens up and changes. Neal Morse is the former frontman of Spock's Beard, the California prog rock monolith. While not his first solo effort, Testimony it is easily his most compelling and provocative. Testimony is a concept album based around Morse's personal testimonial of his life before and after encountering his center, Jesus Christ. Before any of you reach for the mouse button to click off, it might be worth reading a little further to find out why this is musically one of the more engaging progressive rock records in particular and rock & roll albums in general this year. Morse's vision is still one that is sophisticated ...

Neal Morse Sola Scriptura CD (2007)

The Whirlwind

$14.29

Neal Morse unites his Christian faith and his love of prog rock with this concept album about the German theologian Martin Luther's 16th-century schism with the Catholic Church. Blending odd time signatures, soaring keyboard and guitar arpeggios, and pyrotechnical drumming, Morse's songs portray the complexities of a man struggling to remain true to his faith and to himself while exploring unknown and dangerous religious territory. It's to Morse's credit that with the aid of his cohorts, the drummer Mike Portnoy and the bassist Randy George, he keeps this tricky subject matter both accessible and highly listenable.
Guitar maniac and songwriter Neal Morse is no stranger to conceptual albums, having been the founder of Spock's Beard. Morse decided to leave the band and pursue his own vision of uniting his faith with his music unabashedly and without subtlety. He did this first on the double album Testimony in 2003, followed it up in 2005 with ?, and continues it on his most ambitious and perhaps most controversial project yet in Sola Scriptura. With a rhythm section of bassist Randy George and drummer Mike Portnoy from tech-metal progenitors Dream Theater, Morse also enlisted the help of fellow guitar wizard Paul Gilbert on a few tracks, and employed strings, a French horn, and a chorus of backing vocalists to help him realize the project. At the risk of oversimplifying, Morse ...

Porcupine Tree The Incident CDs (2009)

The Whirlwind

$15.65

Personnel: Steven Wilson (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Richard Barbieri (keyboards, synthesizer); Colin Edwin (double bass); Gavin Harrison (drums, percussion).
Photographer: Susana Moyaho.
Porcupine Tree, have found a way to incorporate both prog rock's '70s, with its 10-minute-plus suites and bombast, and its more refined, rock heavy '80s, into their 2009 effort, THE INCIDENT. Set up similarly to Rush's 1978 classic, HEMISPHERES, THE INCIDENT is comprised of a single long song -- the title track -- that features many different movements, followed by a handful of shorter compositions to close the album. Unlike early proggers who favored meandering instrumental doodling over succinct songwriting, Porcupine Tree always favor the importance of memorable songs over flashy solos, which certainly makes the group one of the top modern-day prog rock bands.
