| | Liquid Tension Experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Liquid Tension Experiment released two albums, Liquid Tension Experiment (1998) and Liquid Tension Experiment 2 (1999) on Magna Carta records. | | | Mike Portnoy has stated in numerous interviews (and on his web site FAQ) that there will not be a third LTE album, as 3/4 of the band is in the current Dream Theater line-up. | | | However, several songs and "riffs" have been incorporated into Dream Theater's live performances, such as the instrumental medley from Live at Budokan. |

| | Liquid Tension Experiment 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Liquid Tension Experiment 2 is the second album by the band Liquid Tension Experiment. | | | John Petrucci tells us in the notes to the album that hourglass was written and recorded in the wee hours with old strings - an indication of how much freer Liquid Tension Experiment is musically than Dream Theater. | | | The tracks were largely improvised with little rehearsal, and there are no vocals. |

| | Liquid Tension Experiment |
| | LTE has everything from DT-ish prog-metal rockers, like the smoking nine-minute opener "Paradigm Shift," to quiet acoustic piano pieces, like the soft and beautiful "State of Grace." Some of the songs are slow and melodic, whereas others are incredible rockers filled with tremendous soloing from Petrucci and Rudess. | | | LTE is a one-off project, the brainchild of Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy. | | | Besides the performances, the greatest strength of LTE is the sheer variety of songs on offer. |

| | LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT Liquid Tension Experiment 2 reviews and MP3 |
| | This is the first LTE album I listened to and its their best. | | | The second and last in the LTE catalog, this album is a swan song for this particular lineup. | | | Anyway, the both albums of LTE are unique in their styles mixing fast melodies and head popping complexity. |

| | MAGNA CARTA RECORDS > Artists > LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT |
| | It's no secret in the industry that the first Liquid Tension Experiment album was both a creative and commercial success for Magna Carta Records, the label gambling on the fact that their fan base could take a trip that prog-rock-dangerous and emerge unscathed and, in fact, renewed. | | | This is the first Dream Theater album that we've ever written and recorded simultaneously, and that was inspired by the working environment we had with Liquid Tension. | | | It's just the ultimate Liquid Tension piece, if I had to pick just one to represent everything this band is about. |

| | Liquid Tension Experiment CD Reviews |
| | Compared to the debut recording, "Liquid Tension Experiment 2" has a more studied approach that lacks the panicked and dangerous energy of the rushed recording of the debut. | | | The mix of the music is more balanced this time around; no doubt the extra recording time allowed the band to treat their musical pieces with a bit more patience and facilitated the full development of their ideas. | | | "Liquid Dreams," a carefree number, is as laid back as LTE will ever get; Tony Levin shines on this track as the band takes on a more urban jazz approach. |

| | Liquid Tension Experiment 2 by Chuck Moe |
| | Joining for their second album, Experiment 2, the guys put together another great CD that ranges from progressive, hard rock, jazz, fusion, with hints of Latin all melded together with a heavy foundation. | | | The final track "Hourglass" is a duet featuring Petrucci on acoustic guitar and Rudess on the keyboards. | | | "Liquid Dreams" is one of the more mellow songs with some great bass grooves reminiscent of Peter Gabriel. |

| | Tony Levin - LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT TOUR Road Diary |
| | Liquid Tension will be playing a concert for Sabian Drums, on Saturday the 30th. | | | finally at 1:40 in the morning, as Liquid Tension went on the stage, the stage manager told us we could play only a half hour (we'd planned an hour show.) We went onstage, readjusting our set to be shorter, and as we began the first piece, the guitar amp and pedals self-destructed. | | | Aside from learning the previous album, we decided to do some material from the new, yet to be released one. |

| | Most bands spend months on the writing and recording, while LTE got in the studio and just threw this monster of a record together without batting an eye. | | | Besides the incredible musicianship, the most remarkable thing about LTE is that the entire thing was written and recorded in the span of one week. | | | This album has everything, from the awesome rocker "Paradigm Shift" to the soft ballad "State of Grace," and everything in between. |

| | MAGNA CARTA RECORDS > Releases > LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT (self-titled) |
| | Dream Theater producer Kevin Shirley was brought in at the conclusion of this wild ride, bringing his recent experiences with Aerosmith and Journey with him, enthusiastic at capturing so much rock virtuosity on one record, working towards his stated goal of demarcated instrumental identity within such a surprisingly cohesive band setting. | | | There is a consistent heaviness throughout the album, or at minimum a buzzing hive of highly electric activity which keeps academic and purely emotional listener alike craning to see where the band will take them next. | | | Noticeable sonic differences ensue, a funny, fitting and fleeting close to a record that was so much joy to produce. |

| | Ground and Sky review - Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment 2 |
| | Composed over a brief period of time (though twice as long as the original album), there's a lot of material that was improvised during various jam sessions. | | | After not being all that impressed with the original Liquid Tension Experiment, I wasn't really planning on picking up this album. | | | The sound and ethic behind the original LTE release is present here, as well. |

| | Ground and Sky review - Liquid Tension Experiment - self-titled |
| | After the slew of tribute albums ran their course, the label started setting up all-star prog lineups, coming together for one time only (that was the initial idea, at least). | | | Right after buying the album I popped it in the car CD player and ended up flying down the Pennsylvania turnpike with my jaw on the floor. | | | Unfortunately, the follow-up CD LTE II seems like kind of a half-hearted affair. |

| | LTE are heavy but not metal, new but not neo, indulgent but not repetitive. | | | Cosmic Music Experience, also referred to as New Atlantis because of the side-long track with that name, is more electric in sound, and gets quite wild and scronky at times. | | | On "Seagull" the effect created by the mellifluous middle section full of liquid piano and Mellotron strings and woodwinds in what is otherwise just a slow-grinding, chugalong rock tune is a bit too cut and paste to avoid sounding contrived. |

| | Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment 2 |
| | The first Liquid Tension Experiment album had a few odd-ball songs. | | | Some of John Petrucci's most beautiful guitar work is in here, and Portnoy lays down some positively baffling drumming tracks. | | | It kicks right off with a hard-core, fast, progrock anthem in the form of the sickening "Acid Rain" (sickening, that is, if you're an aspirant musician yourself). |

| | Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment |
| | Notwithstanding all the soloing and tempo and moodchanges on this track, there is a certain obviousness to this track, almost Toto like in their older days. | | | The high speed pyrotechnics of metal and the freaking out often heard in jazzrock, it took some time to appreciate the variety of the music and hear some direction in the compositions. | | | After the funky jazzrock of The Stretch, showing, hopefully, the humour of the band. |

| | Liquid Tension Experiment : Liquid Tension Experiment 2 - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | The second Liquid Tension Experiment album doesn't contain anything quite as self-indulgent as its predecessor's chops-heavy half-hour jam session "Three Minute Warning"; the epic piece here, the 17-minute "When the Water Breaks," is much more composed and therefore focused (even if it's not what you'd call a tight listen). | | | Elsewhere, the music blends Dream Theater-esque progressive metal (logically) and spontaneous interaction with mellower, more lushly textured pieces; the high level of musicianship is, of course, beyond question. | | | Liquid Tension Experiment : Liquid Tension Experiment 2 - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |

| | Liquid Tension Experiment improves every time you listen to it. | | | Nothing commercial about the songs, either, which is something of a relief after the rather polished "Falling into Infinity". | | | Now and then, someone gets the luminous idea to put together a few people from existing bands, thus calling into being a group like Black Light Syndrome or, indeed, Liquid Tension Experiment. |

| | Liquid Tension Experiment - 2 |
| | The title is well chosen, since this is a rather calm, dreamy (but also bouncy) track. | | | We come right into the opening piano of Liquid Dreams. | | | The ending is quite involved with lots of riff based rocking and something like shortcircuiting keyboards. |
