'Cause I went & bought that lame-ass CD by Liquid Trio Experiment you recorded 10 years ago (released last year), called Spontaneous Combustion (wow, clever!), featuring yourself, Jordan Rudess and Tony Levin. The cover looked intriguing, and I thought, well, maybe it's an offshoot of Liquid Tension Experiment (http://www.yesiknow.com/lte/), which pretty damn cool in it's own right. But alas, it was not meant to be. I was dismayed to read, when I got to the car and sliced open the wrapping, In October 1998, Liquid Tension Experiment reunited at Milbrook Studios in upstate New York to record our 2nd album. A few days into the sessions, John Petrucci's pregnant wife went into premature labor - leaving myself, Jordan and Tony stranded in an already set-up and booked recording studio. So like any creative and productive musicians would do, we decided to stay and JAM...and JAM we did!!
Over the course of two days, we played for hours on end. We consciously did not "compose" or "write" anything.....we just were enjoying the free spirit of jamming and improvisation...never discussing any preconceived ideas, riffs or direction...but simply "diving in without a safety net" and going wherever the music took us.
Oh great! A fricking jam session! :nonod: I just shelled out $14 to hear this? How 'bout I go out into the barn, diddle away on my drumset, guzzle a couple of brews and charge you $14 for the pleasure of hearing me play "without a safety net"? Hell, as long as you're using the ol' circus metaphors, I'll even get a couple of trained circus seals to play the bulb horns on my CD! Of course, I won't warn you until after you've opened the disc. :incazzato:
I love this part: For some bizarre and still unexplained reason, the master tapes of these jams were misplaced during the mixing process. Oh, you think they were lost?? Or maybe whoever recorded it thought it was a flaming turd, as I do and burned them! Ya think?
Quite possibly one of the worst CDs I've ever purchased in my storied CD buying career. And I've bought some doozies- just ask anyone in here.
Avoid at all costs. :frown2:
