October!
Yeah, isn't there any more official news? Tracklist, artwork, anything?
Anything?
I think the band are probably trying to keep this as tight-lipped as possible! None of the band member's respective websites have posted any news about TA3 since the original mid-April news!!! So bizarre, but I bet most of it is probably due to Mike and Neal, who often like to keep things as under-wraps as possible with new material.
Either way, with this release, along with so many others this year (and more to come, like The Tangent's 5th album as well!), it'll be a great contender for DPRP's album of the year!
I've heard a rumor that Neal had a piece late last year/earlier this year he was working on, a 30+ minute opus tentatively titled "Whirlwind", and that he had plans for it but was not ready to say what or when it would be released! It may be possible he pitched his working demo to the boys in TA for inclusion on the new album!
Also, I bet it's safe to say that both Roine and Pete would have some stuff to include as neither of them have (to my awareness) any new albums so far this year (although Roine has his 3rd World Electric side-project, which promises to be more jazzy-fusion than standard prog like TFK and Kaipa), so I expect them to carry more contributions to TA3 than before! At least I hope so...
