new Transatlantic cd "The Whirlwind"

Yes, a truly great album! Elements of new and old prog, excellent musicianship, great and very thoughtful (and spiritual) lyrics....a near masterpiece.
The special edition version also contains a bonus CD with a few extra songs that didn't make the main album (which are all very good!) but the real treat here are the cover songs - a great version of "Return of the Giant Hogweed" by Gabriel era Genesis, and a fabulous and very powerful version of "A Salty Dog", one of the best Procol Harum songs ever. A brief pause for the throwaway "I Need You" covers - America (yuck) and Beatles, then finish up with Santana's "Soul Sacrifice". Amazing drum solo by Mikey P!
Recording is pretty darn good for a prog rock album, a little congestion but overall good sound.
Get this one!
(Note: a third version is available with a bonus DVD of "the making of Whirlwind".)

I don't get it- it's a progressive concept album with cover versions of old sawhorses from the seventies? Most people won't consider that progressive or a concept.

Um, the covers are on a bonus disc. "The Whirlwind" is the main album.

actually cover songs are interesting and show their influences . based on previous cds and dvds they are heavily influenced by the Beatles. Soul sacrifice is the standout on the bonus disc though.
of course the main album continues to amaze on each listen and would go as far as to say its one of the best and uplifting rock/prog albums i have heard this year. Check it out.
