Suspended Animation

Suspended Animation features eight instrumental tracks written and produced by John Petrucci. Petrucci has co-produced many Dream Theater albums and his highly evolved production skills are evident on Suspended Animation. His debut solo effort takes the listener on a journey through musical soundscapes with his signature shredding combined with melodic compositions that are sure to delight his Dream Theater fans, as well as new listeners. Suspended Animation spotlights the brilliance of Dreg's bassist Dave LaRue and drummer Dave DiCenso who lay down an incredibly thick rhythm foundation for John's guitar acrobatics. Petrucci's mix of insanely intricate guitar riffs, brilliant songwriting and instinctive sense of melody has earned him praise and respect in the international guitar community. With legions of rabid fans that consider him the new guitar icon for the 21st century, John's compositions and playing on Suspended Animation represents a razor edged rediscovery of the limitless boundaries of the electric guitar.
