Dream Theater To Release “A Change Of Seasons”

For Immediate Release

Dream Theater fans know what buttons to push. For years now, the group’s fans have been demanding to know when the band would finally lay down its live ‘cult classic’ 22 minute opus, “A Change Of Seasons,” on tape. The song, which has become legendary among Dream Theater fans around the world, has only been performed live by the band on two occasions: once in Germany and once in New York City. Bootleg versions, however, have left fans hoping that one day the group would sanction a release of the ethereal masterpiece.

Their patience will not go unrewarded. Due to the amazing amount of letters, phone calls, and a massive fan-initiated campaign organized over the Internet that flooded the record company with requests for “A Change Of Seasons,” the group hit the studio in May to put together a live compilation album that will feature the song as its centerpiece. The album, aptly titled A Change Of Seasons, will also feature live material which was recorded at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London on January 31st of this year. That show saw the group perform a plethora of cover songs dedicated to their idols, which included material by Pink Floyd, Rush, Elton John, Queen, Yes and Genesis.

The group is also currently working on new material for their next studio album, not due out until the summer of 1996. A Change Of Seasons, sure to whet their fans’ appetite until then, will hit stores in September of this year.
