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.
