The double CD album will be released on June 26th in USA and probably around that date in Europe too.
The title of the album is "Road Back Home" and it contain 27 songs, spanning from 1995 to 2006.
It focus on the more melodic and groovy or shorter tracks, means less fusion and more melody and moody tracks.
All songs are transferred carefully to 24 bit digital, remixed, quite a few of them have different solos and
some added backingvocals and there's even a totally unreleased track, plus the full version of our take on
Genesis classic "Cinema Show"
It comes in a nice slipcase and there will be a 20 page booklet that have archive photos, comments on each song,
recording data and anekdotes by yours truely.
All remixed, re-arranged, remastered and I might add, with quite a nice result on most and even a stunning
sonic result on a few. Prepare with a good set of headphones and your favourite tea. (This one might even appeal
to your wife or mother in law or the guys at work)

Dream Theater's latest live CD and DVD "SCORE" was released on August 29th, 2006, on Rhino Records. The 3-CD and 2-DVD sets are available seperately.
Both versions contain the entire "20th Anniversary World Tour" grand finale recorded live at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 1st 2006.
(nearly 3 hours of music - over 90 minutes of which was performed with a full orchestra)
The DVD also contains a 1 hour Documentary tracking the entire career of the band from the very beginnings at the Berklee College Of Music in 1985 all the way to the Radio City Music Hall grand finale.
Including rare never before seen footage and interviews with current and previous members of the band. Also included on the DVD are several live Bonus Tracks from through the years taken from the Portnoy Archives.
"Last year, when they were working on Neal Morse's "question mark" album, Mike Portnoy asked Neal if he
had any extra Transatlantic footage to use for bonus material for a DVD.
Mike seemed to think it was a good idea to release the two Transatlantic
videos ("Building the Bridge" and "Live in America") on DVD with some bonus footage. Neal agreed
and went into his secret vault (his garage) and produced a few amusing outtakes from the recording sessions. It was
only supposed to take a few months to put together. Ha! After several months it was ready to be released when "stop
the presses" we discovered the audio was wrong for the "Live in America" section! No one could figure out
what happened or why it was wrong so Neal contacted Mr. Stolt who said "Oh, the audio was never right in the first
place, I'd really like to re-do it!" So, Roine found the original audio and fixed it up nice and now we have a brand
new Transatlantic DVD.
"Building the Bridge" is a two hour documentary that takes you through every part of the making of the classic
prog album "Bridge Across Forever". From the writing process at Neal Morse's house to Mike Portnoy's amazing
drum cam footage, to Roine Stolt's stunning guitar work and Pete Trewavas' spot on bass playing, you'll get to see and
hear the music that made it onto this amazing album, and some that was left behind.
"Live in America" was recorded in Philadelphia in June of 2000. This two hour concert captures the emotion that
is Transatlantic. This is a full documentation of the band in their first
year featuring performances from their first album, plus jams and classic covers. NTSC region free.
With a bit of bonus stuff this DVD clocks in at approximately 4 hours!"
"TRANSATLANTIC
BUILDING THE BRIDGE & LIVE IN AMERICA
For the first time ever, BUILDING THE BRIDGE; the documentary of the
Making of Bridge Across Forever, and LIVE IN AMERICA will be available
together on one DVD. With an exceptional upgrade in video clarity from
the VHS releases, the audio on LIVE IN AMERICA has also been lovingly
re-mixed by ROINE STOLT! Making this a must-have definitive version.
No release date yet, but we are looking early into the new year."
