We'll have to trust Michael Brauer knows what he is doing

pogoowner · « **Reply #211 on:** November 07, 2011, 10:52:09 AM »

I'm VERY interested in how this project turns out. Hopefully they'll release a song soon.

Bongasti · « **Reply #212 on:** November 07, 2011, 12:16:38 PM »

I had completely forgotten about his project. Seems very interesting anyway.

The Letter M · « **Reply #213 on:** November 08, 2011, 07:18:47 PM »

March?! Just in time for my birthday! What a great present!

Also...who releases an album 14 months after it's recorded?!

I hope the wait will be worth it!

-Marc.

Does MP have any prior mixing experience? I mean I know artists always give feedback, but I don't think he's ever been in studio and credited with it.

To be fair, he previously had a lot more on his plate...

Well, that's kinda my concern. I'm afraid he's possibly looking for a new revenue stream despite lack of experience or expertise in this endeavor.

True, but at least he's not doing it alone. As a music-fan AND a musician, he knows what a mix SHOULD sound like, so with a professional's help, I think we'll get a pretty good mix for what this album should sound like. I have a pretty good feeling about this, although I wouldn't mind having Neal on the mixing board as well!

Well Steven Wilson learnt, I'm sure he can.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #218 on:** November 08, 2011, 07:43:14 PM »

I'm pretty sure this album will be good.

The Letter M · « **Reply #219 on:** November 11, 2011, 11:49:13 AM »

Well, things we know about this project now include:

-The band name was chosen by Peter Collins, and the only name they all agreed upon.
-The band is named Flying Colors
-The album has 11 tracks on it
-The album contains Mike Portnoy lead vocals on one song, at the request of Neal Morse
-The album will be released in March

Anything else? Also, can we change the name of the thread title to reflect the band's name?

-Marc.

Nekov · « **Reply #220 on:** November 11, 2011, 12:02:01 PM »

I agree with the name change but would still leave a reference like MMPLM for people who didn't read MPs Q&A.

bosk1 · « **Reply #221 on:** November 11, 2011, 12:21:54 PM »

Compromise change has been done.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #222 on:** November 11, 2011, 02:24:57 PM »

Cool, can't wait until March!

skydivingninja · « **Reply #223 on:** November 11, 2011, 03:01:47 PM »

Don't forget to add Casey McPherson to the thread title

Good point, but it wouldn't fit, so I took out first names.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #225 on:** November 12, 2011, 06:15:46 AM »

Flying Colors is a weird band name. Sounds like an album name.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #226 on:** November 12, 2011, 06:24:47 AM »

Portnoy on vocals I'm not too sure about, but I think he's been around music studios enough to have a decent handle on mixing

Nekov · « **Reply #227 on:** November 12, 2011, 07:11:13 AM »

He did some singing for TA and I think it was ok. I'm sure with some production it can work.

Yeah, it might be OK, I'm definitely going to approach it with an open mind.

I think his vocals are good usually.

theseoafs · « **Reply #230 on:** January 10, 2012, 08:26:10 PM »

Couldn't find a better place for it so let's resurrect this ancient thread. MP posted this as his Facebook status about an hour ago:

"For all those who have been asking: Flying Colors info is coming TOMORROW!! Stay tuned... #MPin2012"

TioJorge · « **Reply #231 on:** January 10, 2012, 08:46:45 PM »

No shit!? Thank you so much for the resurrection; I can't believe I haven't heard a single word about this! The fact all these people are coming together is both odd and exciting. I was skeptical about Portnoy on vocals until I read "...at the request of Morse"; so I'm picturing that he isn't doing that oh-so-cheesy, attempted-badass metal voice and actually sounds...good. Perhaps the song's tone fits Portnoy's the best. Either way, cannot wait till March. Need more info on this... *typetypetype* Nopefail.

Ħ · « **Reply #232 on:** January 10, 2012, 08:52:46 PM »

Flying Colors. I like it. Sounds bright and positive without being cheesy. Although I'm kind of out of the rock-and-roll/ProggyMcProgprog phase in my musical-listening life, I will keep tabs on this one.

Nekov · « **Reply #233 on:** January 10, 2012, 09:07:39 PM »

I'm really exited about this album. It's good to hear something new from MP and specially with all these other great musicians

The Letter M · « **Reply #234 on:** January 10, 2012, 09:12:22 PM »

About time! I've been hoping to hear/read something from Mike or Neal about this, rather than hearing Mike tout around AMob...this has been something I've looked forward to for nearly a YEAR now, and I've read it will come out sometime in March.

I'm willing to bet we'll get album title (unless it is self-titled), track names, possibly track times, release date and who is distributing it. Can't wait for this album! It might prove to be one of my top 10 albums of 2012! At least, I hope...

-Marc.

Nick · « **Reply #235 on:** January 10, 2012, 09:32:14 PM »

Finally, can't wait to hear this.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #236 on:** January 11, 2012, 04:49:44 AM »

Looking forward to this one much more than Adrenaline Mob.

Mladen · « **Reply #237 on:** January 11, 2012, 05:16:59 AM »

I seriously doubt this could go wrong. After all, it's Neal Morse, and MP noted that there will be some Yes and The Beatles influences. So color me excited.

E.S. · « **Reply #238 on:** January 11, 2012, 05:49:42 AM »

Finally! Mike & Neal are a great combination, looking forward to this.

robwebster · « **Reply #240 on:** January 11, 2012, 06:05:02 AM »

Oh, that's gorgeous!

Yes, I think this looks like the most promising Portnoy project since he left DT. Superb.

Heretic · « **Reply #241 on:** January 11, 2012, 06:09:20 AM »

Would be better without all of the strings attached to the pieces flying away. Still, pretty nice.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #242 on:** January 11, 2012, 06:19:44 AM »

Pretty sweet album cover!

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #243 on:** January 11, 2012, 06:24:07 AM »

That's a nice cover. Clean and neat, but not plain and dull.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #244 on:** January 11, 2012, 06:41:26 AM »

Very nice cover.
