Nachdem der ehemalige Band-Chef Neal Morse ein gutes Album mit seiner Combo hingelegt hat,
lädt der verbliebene ältere Bruder und seine Mitstreiter nach.

THX für die Info. Bin gespannt und könnte zu meinen seltenen Neukäufen hinzukommen.
Die letzten beiden Alben, "X" und "Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep", haben mich jedenfalls überzeugt.
SB hat das Ausscheiden von Neal Morse wohl sehr gut getan.

Her kann man schon mal "Tides of Time" hören:

October 14, 2016

Since the announcement of Jimmy Keegan's departure from Spock's Beard we have been flooded with with requests - demands in some cases! - to audition to play drums with SB. We have been fortunate to have had two of the best drummers in the world playing with us, so our standards are pretty high, but if you think you have what it takes to fill some pretty big shoes, here's the process we've set up to audition:

Spock’s Beard announce 13th studio album ‘Noise Floor’

Legendary US progressive rockers Spock’s Beard have announced the release of their 13th studio album ‘Noise Floor’ for 25th May 2018. As announced previously, for this album Ted Leonard, Alan Morse, Dave Meros & Ryo Okumoto are joined in the studio once again by drummer & original member Nick D’Virgilio, who records his first album with the band since 2010’s ‘X’.

Spock's Beard are a band who are in a continual state of evolution, as is always the case with genuinely creative musicians. And their new album, 'Noise Floor', fits perfectly into this process.
“We are always about evolution, not revolution. But what we have done this time is make the songs more melodic,” believes vocalist/guitarist Ted Leonard. “We still love our crazy prog, but now appreciate how important it is to grab people's attention early on.”

As with all Spock's Beard songs, most of the new album was written by the individual members, and then brought to the rest of the band as high quality demos. “We all do this type of thing in our home studios,” adds Leonard. “So, by the time they reach the stage where the entire band get to judge them, they are really developed, and therefore everyone can make a reasoned judgement.”
Much of what you will listen to here is very much the product of fresh inspiration from the Californian band.

One key change on this album sees the return of drummer Nick D'Virgilio, who originally left in 2011. There are also two violinists, a cello player, a viola player and an English horn featured on the album, thereby giving the sound a slightly more evocative and persuasive twist.

The album was once again engineered by long-time collaborator Rich Mouser and will be released as a 2CD digipak (featuring an EP of material from the same sessions), gatefold 2LP + 2CD & as digital download.
The track-listing is as follows:

Echt jetzt, alles durch pure digitale Hexenküche von der Klampfe direkt in den Mixer. Wo ist nur der gute alte Sound-Ehrgeiz hingekommen?
