Post Description

Studio Album, released in 2001, United States.

Solo crossover prog album van deze Dream Theater toetsenist; voor toetsen liefhebbers zeker de moeite waard.

Jordan Rudess is a classically trained pianist, having studied at the Juilliard school of music.He has played with Steve Morse and Dixie Dregs, and recorded material for Vinnie Moore, Annie Haslam and David Bowie - and is, of course, member of Dream Theater.

Jordan wrote and produced this album himself as well as playing all of the keyboards and some guitar work. Also appearing are guitarists Steve Morse, John Petrucci and Peter Ernst while Terry Bozzio provides the drums and percussion.

If you are into synthesized instrumental work "Feeding the Wheel" will be an essential for you. In its eleven tracks it explores a variety of moods, and its mix of rock, jazz and classical styles means that there"s something for everyone contained within it - and some of these tracks are absolute gems ... its well worth getting the album just for these.
