about

A live release from Transatlantic is always something special. Because it represents this remarkable group of musicians in their pomp. This is certainly true of 'KaLIVEdoscope', the band's fifth such presentation.

“We tend to put out something live for every tour,” says vocalist/keyboard player Neal Morse. “That's important for us, because not everyone who likes the band can make it along in person, to one of our gigs, so this is a way of ensuring they get to see the show as well.”

The other important reason for capturing the essence of any tour is that it allows the band to display to the world how they have expanded on what's been done in the studio. It gives them the chance to explore fresh dimensions to the original compositions.

“When you take songs out on the road, you always find different ways to express what you've recorded on an album. We certainly do that a lot, which is why every time we play a song live it sounds like no other time we've done it before, or will do it again.”

For Transatlantic – who also feature guitarist/vocalist Roine Stolt, bassist/vocalist Pete Trewavas and drummer/vocalist Mike Portnoy – it's always a challenge to put together a set list for any sequence of dates. Their recording heritage is rich and deep.

“Yeah, it's very tough for us to do that. Mike is the king of the set list, but even so we are always changing things around once we get on the road. You'll find that a song you thought would be good in one part of the set actually works better elsewhere, so the situation is entirely fluid.”

The release here is a recording from a show in Tilburg at the esteemed 013 venue.

“Mike came offstage in Tilburg, and said, 'Man, we played so much better tonight than we did on some of the dates'. So, we decided to use the audio from here, which actually means fans are getting a wider variety on the release. Because they are getting the Cologne show on DVD and the Tilburg one on this live audio release.”

The reason Tilburg was recorded at all is down to the venue.

“They have the facility to record all gigs there, and do it automatically. That was great from our point of view.”

Actually, the band played two nights in the Dutch location, and most of the CD comes from the second performance, although there are parts of the previous night from the the encore. And one of the undoubted highlights are covers of Focus classics 'Sylvia' and 'Hocus Pocus'.

“We were joined onstage by (Focus mainman) Thijs Van Leer, which was very special for us. At heart, of course we're still very much fans. So to have anyone of this stature playing with the band means a lot.”

Their high standard of recording and performing is a firm fundamental expose of why Transatlantic are among the best bands in the world, whether in the studio or live. While their musicianship and sophistication endow all their studio recordings with unblemished creativity, the atmosphere of a live show is unquestioned and unquenchable. This is obvious on 'KaLIVEdoscope', and gives added value to what this band has always stood for.

“We have been given a gift, and feel very honored to be able to play together, and to attract so many devoted fans. And what you see and hear on this release is unique. No other gigs on this tour came out exactly like these did. That alone makes them special.”

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
