By: Karl Schneider
Date: Wednesday, April 18, 2007

Drummer extraordinaire Mike Portnoy has published the following block post on MySpace: 

Dream Theater's upcoming release Systematic Chaos will be released on Tuesday June 5th (date may vary in different countries) and will be available in two formats, a regular edition CD (pictured) and a special edition DVD that will include the entire album mixed in 5.1 surround sound and also Chaos in Progress - The Making of Systematic Chaos, a 90-minute documentary directed by Mike Portnoy. 

The CD's track listing for both editions is:

1. In The Presence of Enemies Pt.1 (9:00) 
2. Forsaken (5:36) 
3. Constant Motion (6:55) 
4. The Dark Eternal Night (8:51) 
5. Repentance (10:43) 
6. Prophets Of War (6:01) 
7. The Ministry of Lost Souls (14:57) 
8. In The Presence of Enemies Pt.2 (16:38)

The band will shoot a video next week for the first single off the album, "Constant Motion.”

In other Dream Theater news, keyboardist Jordon Rudess has announced that he is working on a new solo album, as yet untitled.  "I'm presently finishing up the keyboard tracks for [my new solo album] now,” he reported. “After that's all done, I will get the drums recorded followed by the guitar and vocals. Of course the bulk of the sounds will be generated by yours truly!

"As far as the content of the music goes, this is the story: I'm actually doing covers! I'm going back to some of my very favorite progressive rock songs and doing my own versions. In addition, I will throw in a very progressive new tune.

Okay, Karl, if you're gonna report on DT, howzabout showing some love to the new NIN disc (and the amazingly cool ARG) or the new Marillion CD which came out in the UK on the 9th and hits North America on 4/24?

C'mon -- Laughing Boy and I have been doing all the work on the NIN front. It's disappointing.
