Sept. 22 — Veteran prog-rock act Spock’s Beard is set to re-issue its 2003 album, Feel Euphoria this fall.
The album, originally released July 8, 2003 through InsideOut Music, is scheduled for re-issue Nov. 24 on a 2LP presentation, also through InsideOut Music. Pre-orders are open now.
The band’s seventh album, Feel Euphoria presented a uniquely different sound from Spock’s Beard following the departure of former front man Neal Morse prior to the album’s release. Then drummer Nick D’Virgilio served as the band’s front man for the album following Morse’s departure from the band. Feel Euphoria was released less than a year after the release of the band’s 2002 album, Snow, which would go on to become the last on which Morse would serve as the band’s front man.
Keyboardist/backing vocalist Dave Meros discussed the forthcoming re-issue in a prepared statement:
“This is the first in a series of re-releases of the ‘Nick era’ Spock’s Beard albums,” Meros said. “I hadn’t listened to this album many years, and it was cool to hear how hard we rocked some of those songs, how unique it was compared to the typical prog rock album of the time, and how different it was from both what we had done in the past and what we were to do in the future.”
