"LIQUID TRIO EXPERIMENT: A third Liquid Tension Experiment will probably never see the light of day, but fortunately Magna Carta is always happy to help when there's demand for releases. The Liquid Trio Experiment - Spontaneous Combustion is the title of the CD that will be released on September 25th.
In October 1998, Liquid Tension Experiment reunited at Millbrook Studios in upstate New York to record their 2nd album. A few days into the sessions, John Petrucci's pregnant wife went into premature labor leaving Mike Portnoy, Jordan Rudess and Tony Levin stranded in an already set-up and booked recording studio. So like any creative and productive musicians would do, they decided to stay and JAM...and JAM they did!
For some bizarre and still unexplained reason, the master tapes of these jams were misplaced during the mixing process. But, luckily, Portnoy records almost everything he ever does and as a result his live 2-track stereo DAT mixes are the only remaining traces of this historic jam. So what you have here is as live and raw as it gets. No overdubs, no editing, no mixing.
Just 3 guys, their instruments and their spontaneous imaginations feeding off of each other."
