• PROG-ROCK LEGENDS SPOCK'S BEARD ARRIVE ON MADFISH WITH NEW ALBUM 'THE ARCHAEOPTIMIST'
• SPECIAL EDITION 2 DISC CD/DVD, INCLUDES 5.1 & HI-RES STEREO MIXES PLUS 8-PAGE PRINTED LYRIC BOOKLET
• If Spock's Beard have taught us anything over their 30+ years in the business, it's that they have no interest in becoming their own tribute act. 'The Archaeoptimist' - their latest offering & first release on Madfish - is not a retreat into old habits, but a recalibration. Just when you think they're settling in, they kick the walls out instead.
• "mad time signatures, impossible harmonies, intense arrangements.sensational" THE PROG REPORT
• At the centre of this particular storm is Ryo Okumoto, whose fingerprints are all over the album - not just as a performer, but as a driving creative force. Teaming up with co-writer Michael Whiteman (I Am the Manic Whale) & longstanding bandmembers Alan Morse & Ted Leonard, Ryo has helped shape an album that is undeniably Spock's Beard with a characteristic wry smile to boot.
• The album was produced by Okumoto & recorded at each band member's respective home studios. Esteemed producer Rich Mouser (Dream Theater/Weezer) takes up the mixing & mastering duties.
• "a true heir of the legacy of bands as Yes, Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd & old Genesis.a truly fascinating voyage." METAL TEMPLE
