Has anyone heard (of) Liquid Tension Experiment? They're absolutely
amazing, if I do say so myself. It's 3 of the guys from Dream Theater
(John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, Mike Portnoy) and Tony Levin (who has
played with Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, John Lennon,
Dire Straits, Joan Armatrading, Alice Cooper, Seal, David Bowie, Carly
Simon, California Guitar Trio, Sarah McLachlan, Kevin Max, Paul Simon,
Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, etc) on bass.
I'm not a big Dream Theater fan because I don't like their lyrics, but the
music seems solid. That's why I like Liquid Tension. It's all instrumental
and it's basically just a group of amazing musicians showing off their
skills. Some songs are rediculously fast (and the band members are always
together so well), and others are slow ballad (dare I say Satriani-esque)
style that are incredibly powerful. Anyone who's into good music should
definitely check them out. I liked their first album (Liquid Tension Experiment)
better than their second (Liquid Tension Experiment 2). Some songs
that stand out are Kindred Spirits, Freedom of Speech, Universal Mind,
Biaxident, When the Water Breaks.
So yeah, anyone already a fan? Or anyone download any of their songs
and become a fan?
