Dreams of all Polish prog rock fans finally came true – the mighty Transatlantic arrived in Poland. During "The Whirlwind" tour they visited Poznan where a small but enthusiastic audience welcomed them passionately. No wonder, as the band had remained silent for nine years since recording their previous album "Bridge Across Forever". Consisting of four significant musicians: Neal Morse (ex Spock’s Beard), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings) and Pete Trewavas (Marillion), the band is being accompanied by an additional tour member, Daniel Gildenlöw who is the mastermind of the Swedish band Pain of Salvation. Having enormous luck, I managed to ask Daniel a few questions relating to the cooperation with Transatlantic and his own band.

Admirers of “The Land Of Gentleness” and poetry in music know perfectly well his warm, matt voice and the song “Nastroje” which won the hearts of listeners. After a long break in recording he comes back with a new album which contains a surprise for fans. In an exclusive interview for Opinia Jaroslaw Wasik talks about his life, passions and music.
