The album has been receiving fantastic reviews, find just a few of them below:
“Their proven, bountiful chemistry has allowed them to produce something as monolithic as The Absolute Universe” – Prog Magazine

“Both are special albums in their own rights, the sort most bands can only dream of recording. It really is a magnificent piece of work.” – All About The Rock

“The Absolute Universe, in its various forms, is huge. It is ambitious, it is vibrant, it is expansive, it is detailed, it is dark and it is bright.” – The Prog Report

“There’s no-one who does Prog quite like Transatlantic.” – At The Barrier

Transatlantic were originally formed in 1999, releasing their debut album ‘SMTPe’ the following year as well as its follow-up ‘Bridge Across Forever’ in 2001. Following a 7-year hiatus, the band reconvened to record and release the much-acclaimed epic 77-minute, single-track album ‘The Whirlwind’ followed by a world tour in 2010 which included an appearance at High Voltage Festival in London where they were joined by legendary Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. The band’s fourth album ‘Kaleidoscope’ arrived in 2014, going on to win ‘Album Of The Year’ at the Progressive Music Awards.
