{"product_id":"636551832618-archaeoptimist","title":"SPOCK'S BEARD | ARCHAEOPTIMIST","description":"Prog-Rock Legends Spock's Beard Arrive On Madfish With New Album The Archaeoptimist. Gatefold 2LP Version, Pressed On Red Vinyl. 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 \u0026amp; 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. 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) \u0026amp; longstanding bandmembers Alan Morse \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; recorded at each band member's respective home studios. Esteemed producer Rich Mouser (Dream Theater\/Weezer) takes up the mixing \u0026amp; mastering duties. Over more than 30 years, Spock's Beard have established themselves as one of modern progressive music's most exciting \u0026amp; consistent acts, with live shows as renowned as their studio work \u0026amp; tours that draw sold-out audiences across the globe. Their albums regularly chart worldwide, with 2018's Noise Floor reaching #3 on the UK Official Rock \u0026amp; Metal Chart \u0026amp; #6 on the Official Progressive Albums Chart. This edition of The Archaeoptimist is presented as a 2LP gatefold package \u0026amp; is pressed on red vinyl.","brand":"ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT LLC","offers":[{"title":"USA Supplier - 4-10 Days","offer_id":53450796630316,"sku":"al-636551832618","price":127.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/4457114-3447873.jpg?v=1784464945","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/products\/636551832618-archaeoptimist","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
