The Absolute Universe is the fifth and final studio album of the progressive rock supergroup Transatlantic, released on February 5, 2021, by Inside Out. Announced on November 11, 2020, The Absolute Universe is a concept album about "the world's struggles in 2020" and it is Transatlantic's first new studio album since 2014's Kaleidoscope. The album is released in three different formats: a 64-minute abridged version entitled The Breath of Life, a 90-minute extended version entitled Forevermore and a 96-minute deluxe edition that combines parts of both the abridged and extended versions. With regards to the different albums drummer Mike Portnoy said: [...] the single CD is not merely an edited version of the double CD. They each contain alternate versions and even in some cases, new recordings. We wrote fresh lyrics and have different people singing on the single CD version tracks as compared to those on the double CD. The band released three videos in support of the album, "Overture/Reaching for the Sky" on November 20, 2020, "The World We Used to Know" on December 11, 2020, and "Looking for the Light" on January 15, 2021.
