I'm really looking at a reasonable way to plan two nights of that at the end of our UK vacation in 2018, mainly for this, Riverside, and Big Big Train, but it seems so damn expensive to get to and stay. German airports nearby don't fly to the US as cheaply as other places around, I'll probably have to stay well away from the festival and can't really grasp how I get there and back every day as it's somewhat remote. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?It's a couple of hours' drive from big airports at Frankfurt, Cologne, Dusseldorf... just rent a car.
Actually I will drive right past Frankfurt, which is the airport most flights go to in Germany (I think). I will go with two of my buddies so if we pack right, I will have one spare seat. I you want, you can join!
Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.

Road Salts and In The Passing Light by PoS also sounded very good and Minnemann always has a great drum sound (and he produces solo albums en mass) so I don't think we have to worry about that.I actually hope that it will be a little heavy, having Daniel involved. But I don't think Roine will do so heavy stuff.
The Sea Within – the new art-rock collective comprising of Roine Stolt (Transatlantic, The Flower Kings), Daniel Gildenlöw (Pain of Salvation), Jonas Reingold (Steve Hackett, The Flower Kings, Karmakanic, The Tangent), Tom Brislin Music (Yes Symphonic, Renaissance, Spiraling, Deborah Harry) & Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats, Steven Wilson, UK, Joe Satriani) – have announced that their debut self-titled album will be released 22nd June 2018.Let's get one thing straight from the start. The Sea Within is more of an amalgamation of some serious talents, than a regular “supergroup”. These musicians have come together to create a unique album. Guitarist/vocalist Roine Stolt, bassist Jonas Reingold, keyboard player/vocalist Tom Brislin, drummer/vocalist Marco Minnemann and vocalist/guitarist Daniel Gildenlöw have a vast reservoir of experience. Look at the portmanteau of artists with who they've worked: The Flower Kings, Transatlantic, Jon Anderson, Steven Wilson,The Aristocrats, Joe Satriani, Yes, Steve Hackett, Renaissance, Pain Of Salvation, Deborah Harry, Meatloaf, Karmakanic … that of itself tells you this is something very special. ��“I suppose it all began to take shape in the autumn of 2016,” explains Stolt. “I had a chat with Thomas Waber, the boss at InsideOut Music, about the idea of putting together a new band. I wanted to move in a fresh direction with new collaborations. So Thomas gave me the ‘go ahead’ to seek musicians for a new project.”�First on-board was The Flower Kings bass player Jonas Reingold.- “He is a long time bandmate and friend and we were also very keen to get keyboardist Tom (Brislin) involved - after seeing his synth pyrotechnics with legends Yes ‘Symphonic’ and with Camel. Then we have been a fans of ‘Aristocrats’ drummer Marco for a long time; I first heard of him 15 years ago and he is a brilliant drummer, unique energy. Then when we discussed ideas for singers, Daniel's name came up, he has such a great range and dynamic voice and we've worked together on and off over the years.” Also added later to the bands line-up for live shows was vocalist & guitarist Casey McPherson of ‘Flying Colors’ & ‘Alpha Rev’, who also sings a couple of songs on the album. ��The entire recording situation took about six months, and the band also have some very special guests featured on the album.�“We have got Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater playing piano on one song. The legendary Jon Anderson sings on another track, while 'wind ace' Rob Townsend, who plays saxophone and flute with Steve Hackett, is also on the record. Each of them brings a different flavour to the music.” �The Sea Within as a music collective have plans to perform live, and will make their stage debut at 'Night Of The Prog' in Loreley, Germany which happens from July 13-15 and will bring special guests for that evening. �“As far as I am concerned, we will try do as much touring as possible. We have a great band, great label and our agent Rob Palmen on-board. We have great artwork by Marcela Bolivar, all looks bright. However Daniel will not be able to join us for touring now, as he has commitments with main band Pain Of Salvation. With Casey taking the vocal spot, now with us live, we can go out on the road and play this album and beyond and grow as a band. We have so much to offer musically, on record and on stage and I am sure we will develop a lot over the next few years. But 'The Sea Within' album is a great start. I am excited for everyone to hear what we have done and am now thrilled to start working on the songs for the live show.”The album will be available as a special edition 2CD digipak, gatefold 2LP vinyl + 2CD & as digital download. You can find the full track listing below:Disc 1:1. Ashes of Dawn2. They Know My Name3. The Void4. An Eye for an Eye for an Eye5. Goodbye6. Sea Without7. Broken Cord8. The Hiding of the TruthDisc 2:1. The Roaring Silence2. Where Are You Going?3. Time4. Denise
I am so freaking excited for this. And doubly excited I get to see the live debut.

Artwork (ew) and writeup makes it seem like another Stolte project to me. Kind of a shame cause I really wanna see Daniel get more involved with anything that isnt PoS. Cool that it's coming so soon though.
