I gather that this will be more akin to Neal Morse's ? album, one long piece divided into smaller tracks. How many?
Well ? was 12 tracks over 55 minutes or so. Bridge Across Forever, if you count the different movements, was 17 tracks/parts and was about 77 minutes.
I will be willing to wager that "The Whirlwind" will be about 13-15 tracks, with some sort of Overture, a Finale, and at least one or two movements with the same or similar name!
