    This line is awesome:
     
    "This is one project every Dream Theater fan needs to add to the voluminous library they’ve dedicated to the world’s most amazing band." hehehehe
     
    This looks great.  Can't wait to buy it!!
    There is no other band like Dream Theater. They are the quintessential musicians of our time, and the best band I've ever heard. The music industry wouldn't be the same without them.

        I'm stoked to hear this.  I'm a real sucker for string instruments.

                    The setlist looks awesome, defiently some of DT's best. I've actually been listening to some of these "Tributes" just to catch up on things.

                      Are these all being done by the same group of musicians?  I'm kinda ignorant about it, beyond what Apocalyptica did for Metallica...which I love, btw. 

                      Mike

                      This is a different group than Apocalyptica.  Apocalyptica is four cellists, and they write original tunes now (You should definately check them out).  The string quartet tribute is two violins, a viola, and a cello, and they have a whole slew of tribute albums at www.vitaminrecords.com.


                      Just listened to a few snippets from that site. Sounds interesting. This album should be interesting. Can't wait.

                       
                      how were you able to listen to a few snippets?

                        I would guess he heard some samples from ome of the other Tributes. In just clicking on some of them, there are a few songs you can hear there. The Rush one however, didn't have any like the DT one.

                                  I bought this when it came out and felt it had some nice moments, particularly "Entangled" & the Los Jigos medley.  However, "Turn it On Again" nearly gave a drummer friend of mine an attack of apoplexy... he was very much the purist.

I also think I saw them doing Muse too.

The tracks are very faithful to the original recordings (even in length, which was a bit of a surprise as I expected some truncated tracks).
