About
"SMPT:e" (from StoltMorsePortnoyTrewavas) is the debut album by the progressive rock supergroup Transatlantic. The album's title combines the initials of the band members and references SMPTE, a type of time code used in recording technology. The album includes the song "In Held ('Twas) in I," which was originally recorded by the progressive rock band Procol Harum in 1967 and released on the album "Shine on Brightly" in 1968. This track is often cited as one of the earliest examples of a progressive rock epic.
