Dream Theater

A Change Of Seasons (EastWest/EEG)

Dream Theater delivers a collection of epic medleys that will keep your rock listeners entertained until their next full-length album comes out in 1996. The title track, which was written back in 1989 and includes seven different movements, lasts over 20 minutes. The latter part of the album consists of cover songs Dream Theater recorded live at Ronnie’s .Jazz Club in London. The tracks include renditions of songs by Elton John, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, Journey, Dixie Dregs and Genesis. From the title track to ‘The Big Medley’, each song smoothly segues into another like a well-produced show.
