Dream Theater
"When Dream And Day Unite"
|
"When Dream And Day Unite" played a major role in putting prog-metal on the map was the first album to seamlessly combine instrumental prowess, 'thinking man's' lyrics and heavy riffing. Featuring original vocalist Charlie Dominici, Dream Theater would go on to scale greater commercial heights, but this is the album that started it all. Guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung and drummer Mike Portnoy met at the Berkelee College of Music in 1985, and started playing under the name Majesty, but switched to Dream Theater when they found that the original name was copyrighted. "When Dream And Day Unite" features the complex arrangements and technically demanding parts that would become the band's hallmark, especially on the album's epic "The Killing Hand". You can still hear the band playing the instrumental "The YTSE Jam" in concert to this day.
