this album was suggested to me by a dream theater and symphony x fan. i thought it would be similar to the prog i love, but alas its real laid back and mellow. not my style, but not real bad either.

 Renewed my faith
Dark yet beautiful soundscapes. Some guitar bits too "metal"-ish for this old progger. Loved some of the "Hackett"-ish guitar riffs. Unusual vocal harmonies correspond to dark feel of songs. I prefer a more mellow, melodic keyboard-oriented sound but have ordered I.E.M. and Blackfield to get a diverse feel for SW's talent. On this CD, check out Trains, The Sound of Muzak, Prodigal.

This release gathers together two previous outings in the visual medium from progressive metal band Dream Theater. A concert recorded live in Tokyo from 1993 is included, alongside highlights from shows in Rotterdam, London, and a selection of music videos. See individual titles for more details.
With their progressive metal style and exceptional musicianship (learned at the Berklee School of Music) Dream
Theater grew to prominence with their MTV hit "Pull Me Under" in 1992. During that time Dream Theater developed
a rabid fan base that remains with them today-especially when it comes to their mind-blowing live shows.

2-DVD set is jam-packed with over 3 hours of footage: live performances along with 6 music videos and memorable

| | Porcupine Tree Deadwing CD (2005)
In Absentia music CDs
$9.99  
Considering their cinematic scope, it's fitting that the songs on DEADWING were actually inspired by a film script written by Porcupine Tree mastermind Steven Wilson. Not that this should come as any surprise to longtime fans who know the UK act's reputation for churning out epic progressive rock so sonically descriptive that it's practically visual.
Porcupine Tree creates works with complex structures that do not alienate or obscure the songs themselves, pieces that are dark and psychedelic without being sinister. On the 12-minute opening title track, weighty guitar riffs and spacious synths immediately recall Nine Inch Nails, but swooping melodic changes give way to ambient passages, ...

As the sole major-label progressive-metal act, Dream Theater invariably set the standard as the flagship band of the genre.

$28.89
The former Take That heartthrob's follow-up to THE EGO HAS LANDED is so slick and covers so many stylistic bases that one's initial response is that it's too clever by half. On more careful listening, however, it seems more the work of a true pop obsessive, a guy with an encyclopedic enthusiasm for all sorts of music.
The lyrics here are literate, funny, and loaded with attitude (in the good sense); you have to love a guy who can reference John Coltrane, AC/DC, and the Manic Street Preachers on the same album. The music is similarly smart, ranging from high quality dance pop of the boy band variety ("Kids," a duet with Britney Spears' role model Kylie Minogue), to the alt-rock Oasis-meets-Led Zeppelin guitar grind of "Let Love Be Your Energy," to songs that sound uncannily like IMAGINE-era John Lennon ("Better Man"). ...

In Absentia CD music
$11.79
On 2003's TINY VOICES, singer/songwriter Joe Henry sets about immersing the listener in a dreamy, anachronistic atmosphere that's both inviting and slightly foreboding. Continuing in the inventive, mood-driven vein that the Los Angeles-based troubadour established in earnest on 1996's TRAMPOLINE, Henry conjures up a woozy jazz vibe throughout much of this record, aided substantially by the agile contributions of reed man Don Byron and trumpeter Ron Miles. ...
