Porque ele era músico progressista antes de Jesus chamar Ele. heheheh Neal Morse já é um músico respeitado na cena progressista do Rock desde início/metade dos anos 90 pra cá. Ele era da banda Spock's Beard, co-fundador com o irmão dele.

This albums shows the ADN of Neal, it's like listening to Spock's Beard, this is even the most Spock's Beard album ever, I just dont know, Neal's music and approach is just something else .

Thank you⭐️
The description you put was absolutely savage oml
Tis the truth though 😅😅
This record along with JBP led to me being saved.
Wow! Praises be to God for His mercy. Would you be willing to briefly share that testimony?
Neal Morse = God's music
Literally :D
It would be if you didn’t have to pay 10x as much to listen to it, as many songs aren’t available on music streaming services.
Wish more artists had the integrity he does to not sign over his life's work to those corrupt companies that screw over all artists.
Facts
Wait til someone tells him you used to have to buy every album
Lovely and uplifting, thank you for sharing your gifts
Thank you for uploading. This album is the absolute best
Love this
Ai sem querer a gente cai em uma obra prima dessa. desculpa a ignorancia mas nunca tinha nem ouvido falar. estou ainda nos 09m primeiros minutos do album, FANTASTICO.
apologies for the low quality on this one, it's rare.
if you're interested, check out the live performance of this album from 2003. it's much better
Welcome in music heaven🎉
@@calico.5588I personally like this version
Tellement beau...un autre espace temps.
¡¡¡Qué buen músico es Neal!!!
Incrível como ele tem referências nos progressivos seculares do ELP, Rick Wakeman e Yes... Um gospel de altíssimo nível. Tudo o que eu buscava. Fora da curva, completamente.
Porque ele era músico progressista antes de Jesus chamar Ele. heheheh
Neal Morse já é um músico respeitado na cena progressista do Rock desde início/metade dos anos 90 pra cá. Ele era da banda Spock's Beard, co-fundador com o irmão dele.
@@VitorPVTB Aliás, o álbum em que ele anunciou a saída para se dedicar a uma carreira solo cristã, o Snow, meio que já mostrava esse lado, e é até hoje o meu preferido da banda, mesmo ainda gostando dela depois da saída dele.
Testimony me pegou de surpresa na época em que saiu, mas até agora o meu álbum preferido dessa fase do Neal é o Question Mark na carreira solo, e o Whirlwind no Transatlantic (que também é afetado por essa inspiração cristã, apesar de ser o que os evangélicos brasileiros chamariam de uma banda secular).
@@danielmyokoyama Boa! Bah Question Mark é excelente, o meu favorito é Sola Scriptura! Do Transatlantic não cheguei ainda a parar pra escutar mesmo, gosto de parar e apenas escutar o cd, como vendo um filme, sabe? Mas quero ouvir todos os álbuns assim que possível!
@@VitorPVTB Acho que das coisas envolvendo o Neal, o Transatlantic é a melhor delas. Recomendo ouvir todos os álguns assim que puder.
Esse album já esta com a participação de Mike Portnoy ( Baterista do Dream Theater ). O Mike participou de diversos cds e shows.
Aegis Project song The rest is mystery brought me here.
Yes, it is.
This albums shows the ADN of Neal, it's like listening to Spock's Beard, this is even the most Spock's Beard album ever, I just dont know, Neal's music and approach is just something else .
Exactly. Came right after V and Snow, so this is his next album to follow those, really.
Szuper, egy kis korai Genesis áthallással, de ez semmit sem von le a színvonalból!!!! Remek👍
Слишком много технических -- виртуозных работ на гитаре (всё это уже давно прохавали). А хочется чего нибудь...
👏👏👏❤️
que bueno es este tipo. lo descubri en TRANSATLANTIC
Solid prog music, but trying thinking for yourself for once, Neal
