{"product_id":"spocks-beard-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","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50838860693799,"sku":"636551832618","price":56.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/spocks-beard-archaeoptimist-3545263.jpg?v=1775327106","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/spocks-beard-archaeoptimist","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
