The Whirlwind is the third studio album by the band Transatlantic, released on 23 October 2009. It is available in three formats: a standard edition, a double disc special edition and a deluxe edition with a 105 minute making-of DVD.
The main album, while indexed into twelve tracks, is considered one song. It is represented as one track on the band’s third live album Whirld Tour 2010: Live in London.
The bonus disc (which comes with the Special and Deluxe Editions) includes eight new studio recordings: four original Transatlantic songs and four cover songs. At the end of the second disc, there is a hidden track by the band, played on ukulele with vocals.
