"LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT: drummer Mike Portnoy has confirmed rumors that the members of Liquid Tension Experiment — the project featuring Portnoy, his Dream Theater bandmates Jordan Rudess (keyboards) and John Petrucci (guitar), alongside progressive rock icon Tony Levin of King Crimson and Peter Gabriel (bass, chapman stick) — recently met and discussed the possibility of regrouping and recording a third studio album.

A fan from the Mike Portnoy Forums recently posted a Tony Levin blog saying that Levin had met up with the other LTE members while recording another project.
"While recording an album in New York, I ran into my Liquid Tension Experiment bandmates, who are working on a DREAM THEATER album," Levin wrote. "Jordan Rudess had just left the studio when I ran in with my camera to get a shot of myself with Mike Portnoy and John Petrucci."

Later on, Mike Portnoy himself posted the following to clarify the situation: "I think my initial feelings of no longer being interested in another LTE album because of the similarities to DT with Jordan have finally passed... It's been long enough now that I think it could indeed be exciting, creative and a lot of fun.

"The four of us did mention in passing how much fun it would be to some day make some more music together, so as I always say: 'Never say never!'

"Unfortunately, there is one obstacle that could make a future LTE album very difficult... and I'll just say, it is NOT any of the four people [in the band]!! [Referring to the difficulties Portnoy had with the record label Magna Carta — Ed.]""

J'vois pas trop l'intérêt, m'enfin bon. Pourquoi pas, au moins ceux qui n'aiment pas Labrie seront heureux.

Bonne nouvelle, ça. Si c'est aussi bon que les deux précédents, ça promet

ça peut toujours etre plus interessant que ce que fait desormais DT sur album

en plus y a rarement d'inspiration corner, ce qui commence a bien plomber le groupe "officiel"!

Ayé, le petit nouveau arrive...

Belle archéo, tu as été le chercher loin, celui-là.

Ca a l'air sympa, mais personnellement je ne peux plus blairer le jeu de Rudess depuis des années.... Et il ne manque pas à sa réputation sur le titre, mélodies sans inspirations, banque de son paresseuse, au secours!

La vidéo pique les n'yeux, le morceau possède quelques très bons passages... à suivre !
