Product Description
Prog-Rock Legends Spock's Beard Arrive On Madfish With New Album The Archaeoptimist. Gatefold 2LP Version, Pressed On Red Vinyl. If Spock's Beard have taught us anything over their 30+ years in the business, it's that they have no interest in becoming their own tribute act. The Archaeoptimist - their latest offering & first release on Madfish - is not a retreat into old habits, but a recalibration. Just when you think they're settling in, they kick the walls out instead. At the centre of this particular storm is Ryo Okumoto, whose fingerprints are all over the album - not just as a performer, but as a driving creative force. Teaming up with co-writer Michael Whiteman (I Am the Manic Whale) & longstanding bandmembers Alan Morse & Ted Leonard, Ryo has helped shape an album that is undeniably Spock's Beard with a characteristic wry smile to boot. The album was produced by Okumoto & recorded at each band member's respective home studios. Esteemed producer Rich Mouser (Dream Theater/Weezer) takes up the mixing & mastering duties. Over more than 30 years, Spock's Beard have established themselves as one of modern progressive music's most exciting & consistent acts, with live shows as renowned as their studio work & tours that draw sold-out audiences across the globe. Their albums regularly chart worldwide, with 2018's Noise Floor reaching #3 on the UK Official Rock & Metal Chart & #6 on the Official Progressive Albums Chart. This edition of The Archaeoptimist is presented as a 2LP gatefold package & is pressed on red vinyl.
