Dream Theater’s Change Of Season
News1 min read
Twenty-three-minute epic from prog rockers
New York prog rockers Dream Theater have just released a mini-album, A Change Of Seasons, through EastWest Records.
Dream Theater fans will undoubtedly be delighted by the fact that the opening cut on ‘Change...’ is the much requested but never before recorded 23-minute epic title track, which the band only consented to record following a massive petition that appeared on the Internet from hard-core fans. It has been produced by David Prater.
The remaining tracks are all live cover versions, recorded at the band’s legendary appearance at Ronnie Scott’s club in London earlier this year. They are: ‘Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding’ (Elton John), ‘Perfect Strangers’ (Deep Purple), ‘The Rover/Achilles Last Stand/The Song Remains The Same’ (Led Zeppelin ), ‘In The Flesh’ (Pink Floyd), ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ (Kansas), ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ (Queen), ‘Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’’ (Journey), ‘Cruise Control’ (Dixie Dregs), and ‘Turn It On Again’ (Genesis).
There are no current plans for a UK tour by the band.
