COVER ART BY: SONIA MOTA
This is a COMEDY ROCK OPERA, of the ages, for THIS BAND HAS OUTDONE THEMSELVES, ONCE AGAIN!
Witness SANTANA, meets, LED ZEPPELIN, meets CLAPTON, and MONTY PYTHON!!
FROM A VISUAL PERCEPTIVE:
Well, let’s go on a journey, with THREE SCANDINAVIANS, whom were summoned to an UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, to work in MEXICO, only to discover this VERY DIFFERENT LAND, they have entered, of the unexpected.
Everything was ebulious and enjoyable, until they’ve entered an AZTEC PYRAMID, and was warned by an ORACLE about the MAYAN SPIRITS, who wanted to DECAPITATE them, to THE GOD OF HEADS, however, so many FUN LOVING OBSTACLES protected them, from such a fate, with DRUGS, SEX, & ROCK & ROLL, for a WILD RIDE, that helped them adapt to their surroundings.
After a few ACID HITS and TWERKING WOMEN, a MYSTERY MAN had warned them of someone, whom wanted to CHALLENGE THEM TO A GUNFIGHT, for their ACID, however, when the GUNSLINGER was defeated by the trio, bliss came to them, with LISA & CAMPFIRE GALORE.

by Transport Aerian | Sep 28, 2014 | Uncategorized
A little bit more than a year ago, when I have finished all the necessary work on what you know as Bleeding, I already knew: it was something unusual. I knew that regardless of the commercial success or inferiority that this project could potentially bring, it appeared to be a reasonable contribution to the new music, to the development of progressive rock in only acceptable understanding of this term. And I guess, I wasn’t wrong, as with this album Transport Aerian has finally achieved a several important goals: getting signed to the record label, which, fortunately, is slightly and far out of the local level, and, above everything, is not other than Melodic Revolution Records, which I have always considered to be a dream place for the independent and progressive artists, such as myself. I finally found out that Transport Aerian has made it to ProgArchives. Critical response was surprisingly positive, as well. Additionally, an HD version of the album has been released, as a bow and due respect to the truly dedicated sound appreciators.
The typical problem about making the piece of music that receives a high score in the relevant music press and that utterly and entirely satisfy your own artistic needs is starting the next one. My principle in making music has always been – and remains – that every single new record, I’m getting involved in, should contain something I have never done before, and, preferably, something that nobody else did. I must confess: for a time I was in a doubt if I ever can make something better. But the working process has started. The first lines of the lyrics, the first sketches of concept, the first notes and the first elements of arrangements started falling into a place, irresistebly. After about a couple of months of putting the bits together, I can only admit: what starts taking the shape is definitely something new and, as I primarily make music for myself – quite exciting. And I hope soon I’ll be able to tell and show you more.
But everything at the time.
