{"product_id":"transatlantic-kaleidoscope","title":"KALEIDOSCOPE","description":"Personnel: Neal Morse (vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards); Roine Stolt (vocals, acoustic 12-string guitar, electric guitar, keyboards, percussion); Mike Portnoy (vocals, drums); Pete Trewavas (vocals); Chris Carmichael (cello).\nAudio Mixer: Rich Mouser.\nPhotographer: Jerry Guidroz.\nArranger: Transatlantic.\nThe fourth studio album from the contemporary prog rock supergroup picks right up where 2009's well-received Whirlwind left off. Beginning with the mammoth, meaty, and majestic \"Into the Blue: Overture (Instrumental)\/The Dreamer and the Healer\/A New Beginning\/Written in Your Heart\/The Dreamer and the Healer (Reprise),\" which allows each member the space with which to flex his considerable creative muscles, Kaleidoscope finds the venerable quartet flirting with gentle, '70s-hued pop hooks (\"Shine\"), richly detailed ambient soundscapes (\"Beyond the Sun\"), and thunderous, ELP-kissed stadium anthems (\"Black as the Sky\") with equal amounts of power and alacrity. As has always been the case, Transatlantic excel at making a four-piece sound like a marauding horde, a tendency best exemplified by the 31-minute closer\/title cut, \"Kaleidoscope: Overture (Instrumental)\/Ride the Lightning\/Black Gold\/Walking the Road\/Desolation Days\/Lemon Looking Glass (Instrumental)\/Ride the Lightning (Reprise),\" a sprawling, serpentine, and resplendent slab of metal-infused, haters-be-damned prog rock goodness that invokes classic Yes, Genesis, Rush, Pink Floyd, and of course, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, and Marillion. [Kaleidoscope is also available in an expanded edition that includes a second disc of covers and a bonus DVD]. ~ James Christopher Monger","brand":"Transatlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589316079849,"sku":"WX3HM0-LWD3-00","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/transatlantic-kaleidoscope_oSoj6.jpg?v=1741075817","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/transatlantic-kaleidoscope","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
