Reviews:
Availability: This album is very new and in stores everywhere.
Purchase: The Crooked Step does not support the purchase of this CD
Notes:
- As with Prime Cuts from Mike Portnoy, this compilation was put together by Magna Carta Records, who do not feel the need to gain an artists permission or even notice to release compilations of their work. However, although I personally will not support Magna Carta in any way, Jordan Rudess is still one of their artists.
- There is a bonus video on the enhanced cd
- The 2 tracks from Rythm Of Time, Beyond Tomorrow and Tear Before The Rain are not the versions from the album in which Kip Winger sang on, or the bonus tracks in which Jordan Rudess sang on, but rather a duet between the two. Whether this is a new recording or if they just double tracked the vocals is unknown as of now.
- Revolutionary Etude is taken from "Steinway To Heaven" a compilation of classical pieces that Jordan appeared on.
- Osmosis is a Liquid Tension Experiment track remixed by Vapourspace, the same group that remixed Another Dimension for the Mike Portnoy Prime Cuts album.
- Faceless Pastiche is taken from Modern Drummer Presents Drum Nation Volume One in which Jordan played keyboard along drummer and longtime collaborator Rod Morgenstein.
- Hoedown is taken from Encores, Legends and Paradox: A Tribute To ELP
- Universal Mind is from the first Liquid Tension Experiment album, Liquid Dreams is from the second.
- The rest are taken straight from Jordan's albums. Feed The Wheel is from Feeding The Wheel and Outcast is from 4NYC.
