Flying Colors - Portnoy, Morse, Morse, LaRue and McPherson

Sampler of the new album now up on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/flyingcolorsofficial

I'm liking it to be honest. Good, strong songwriting with enough 'proggy' bits to keep fans of the members interested. The song 'Kayla' features on one of their YouTube videos which sounds like it's going to be a ripper! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsYw_nGwlOM

Release dates - March 26 - Europe
                       March 27 - US

Heard the sampler this morning,sounds great.. What a line-up of talent,believe Mike does lead vocals on one of the tracks!!Really looking forward to the album!

[Mooncat]

Ooooo, more MP vocals. There's a nice version of the DT song 'The Best Of Times' on youtube which is apparently his demo, although the rest of the song sounds identical to the finished product (odd, unless it's a 'during production mix')

Not keen on MP's vocals personally but certainly love what he brings to projects musically.

[fitzy]

Yeah!he was never a great singer.... Interesting to hear the track in question though,lot of really great music being released over the next couple of months!!

Just pre-ordered from Radient Records in the hope I may be one of the first 100 orders and get a copy signed by Mike and Neal,  a real long shot I think especially given how long their website took to process the order, from adding to my shopping card to confirming the order took over 10mins, hopefully it took just as long for everyone else as well :lol:

[RWA]

Heard it and ordered it. Very much looking forward to this.

Due to the problems on Radiant Records site yesterday Neal is now signing the first 200 ordered.

Hello Everyone,


Let me start by saying a big THANK YOU to eveyone who purchased the new "Flying Colors" Limited Edition on RadiantRecords.com today!!!


The response was overwhelming, literally! With the server on the brink of meltdown, I realize that many of you ran into long delays and timely checkouts, and I am sorry for that.


I spoke with Neal about the whole thing and he has offered to sign the first 200 copies, instead of the first 100, to say THANK YOU for hanging in there and waiting it out.


Your patience is ALWAYS appreciated by us, and we want you to know that we care.


I know that this does not erase the frustration of waiting, but we hope that it will take some of the sting out of it.


Also, because if the overload today, we are upgrading to a much larger server and band-width tonight to help prevent this from happening again, so if you try to purchase tonight and it does not cooperate, it is because we are making the change to serve you better.


Thanks again to everyone supporting Neal and Radiant Records, and Flying Colors...


Chris


Radiant Records.

I'm surprised not to see a bundle including a making-of DVD, I was pretty sure there would be one, given the clips already available, so I shall hold-fire for a bit.

[E.S.]

Ditto.
Obviously there was some "pro" filming going on, proper interviews and all. It's half the fun, much like Frost* reports and albums.

A full track on the CRPP magazine Cavendish too.

This man speaks the truth!!

Loving the track on the CD, really looking forward to hearing the full album.

[Pedro]

The track's really grown on me too.
...but..."Cavendish"?...oooh, how I hate autocorrect!  :roll:

My brain can't even work out what word you were trying to put. So I'll just quietly pretend I understand.... YES! Damn that autocorrectornation thingy.

It was the vocal demo for LaBrie to give him a guide on the way MP wanted it to be sung etc. Was available as a "B side" on the Wither single along with a piano & vocals only version of Wither.

LOL
It's the Android Swype keyboard, so you draw a continuous line on the keyboard and it works out the permutations. Can be hilarious! Cavendish was an attempt at Coverdisk, which isn't a real word.
