"In October 1998, Liquid Tension Experiment reunited at Millbrook Studios in upstate New York to record their 2nd album. A few days into the sessions, John Petrucci's pregnant wife went into premature labor leaving Mike Portnoy, Jordan Rudess and Tony Levin stranded in an already set-up and booked recording studio. So like any creative and productive musicians would do, they decided to stay and JAM... and JAM they did! For some bizarre and still unexplained reason, the master tapes of these jams were misplaced during the mixing process. But, luckily, Portnoy records almost everything he ever does and as a result his live 2-track stereo DAT mixes are the only remaining traces of this historic jam. So what you have here is as live and raw as it gets. No overdubs, no editing, no mixing. Just 3 guys, their instruments and their spontaneous imaginations feeding off of each other." ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Sounds very very cool. Like a lot of improvised material, it will likely be scatter shot, but the most promising factors are: 1) This was a time when DT did not retread the same steps much 2) This does not allow for dozens of rewrites and utter polishing-to-death that many bands' music suffers from (DT supposedly included).  ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

Sounds cool I can't wait to check it out! It will be interesting to see how Rudess plays in an environment where he is the prominent melodic instrument. I've always felt he is held back by playing alongside Petrucci. ------------- . |

I think the quality is going to depend on the influence of Levin, who has plenty of experience with improv thanks to his time in KC, so it would be interesting to see what influence he had on the other two. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

i don't want to spoil it but i think it would be indifferent and another way for Mr Portnoy for some extra pocket money.. ------------- -music is like pornography... sometimes amateurs turn us on, even more... -sometimes you are the pigeon and sometimes you are the statue... |

sounds really interesting, I will definitely think about getting a copy... and I don't see how releasing an obscure recording that a tiny percentage of people want will earn much 'extra pocket money' |

| I'm kind of excited...but the other half of me thinks this is Mike Portnoy's response to the demand for a new Liquid Tension Experiment album. |

Great! Hope it's another masterpiece as the other two fantastic albums!

Actually, his primary improv experience was as a jazz musician before he even met the Gabe and moved into rock. Frankly, the band was never terribly into improv with T-Lev, as the Discipline-era was more focused on their insanely tight polyrhythms and the Double Trio was a total mess when it improvised (See: THraKaTTaK), and no Krim lineup has improvised to the full extent of a jazz band (though the band approached that level way back before Muir left). -------------   |

Fair enough, but that still gives him way more improv experience than Portnoy and Rudess. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I heard of promo of it and didn't like it,
Don't expect it to sound like Liquid Tension Experiment at all.
It's jazzy,experimental,and New Age-ish.I am really open-minded about music but the album bored me to death. -------------  |

| i'm looking forward to it. i listened to the samples available on magna carta's website. the people that say it won't sound like the other two LTE albums are right, and i don't know if i'll like this as much, but it should still be pretty good. |
