Description

[Machine Translation] Dream Theater has been periodically releasing their treasured live, demo, and studio outtakes as official bootlegs in the "Lost Not Forgotten Archives" series. The 21st volume in the series documents the making of the band's 5th album "Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory", the band's 1999 masterpiece, which is regarded as one of the band's best albums ever. After failing to achieve the radio success they had hoped for with their fourth album Falling Into Infinity in 1997, the band decided to put into action the grand plan they had already begun demoing at that time: to record their own progressive rock album, Scenes from a Memory. The band decided to make their first concept album in order to present their identity as a progressive rock band more clearly. The goal was to create a dramatic and thrilling rock opera about reincarnation, a development of the classic song "Metropolis Part 1" from their 1992 album Images and Words. This would be the definitive album that would make them one of a kind. This album is a rare glimpse into the process (songwriting sessions, rehearsals, outtakes, etc.) of building a meticulously spun story through a process of trial and error. The album was previously released on Ytsejam Records, a limited production label, and is now being reissued in a long-awaited reissue with the latest mastering and new artwork.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

ロスト・ノット・フォーゴットン・アーカイヴス: ザ・メイキング・オブ・シーンズ・フロム・ア・メモリー~ザ・セッションズ (1999) [輸入盤] / ドリーム・シアター

ドリーム・シアターが、ライヴ、デモ、スタジオ・アウトテイクなどの秘蔵音源を公式ブートレグとして定期リリースしている"Lost Not Forgotten Archives" (=忘るまじ喪失音源集)シリーズ。その第21弾は、1999年に発表したバンド史上最高傑作と評される5thアルバム『メトロポリス・パート2: シーンズ・フロム・ア・メモリー』の制作過程を記録したメイキング音源。1997年の4thアルバム『フォーリング・イントゥ・インフィニティ』でメインストリーム・ロックでのラジオ・ヒットを狙ったものの、期待通りの結果を出せずにいたバンドは、この時すでにデモ作りに着手していた壮大なプランをここで実行に移すことを決意する。自分たちはプログレッシヴ・ロック・バンドであるという彼らの根底に流れるアイデンティティをより明確に提示すべく、初のコンセプト・アルバム制作に挑んだのである。それは、1992年のアルバム『イメージズ・アンド・ワーズ』収録の名曲「メトロポリス・パート1」の発展形として、"輪廻転生"をテーマにしたドラマティックかつスリリングなロック・オペラを作り上げることだった。そして、この作品こそが彼らを比類なき存在にする決定的な1枚になるのである。本作は、緻密に紡いだストーリーを試行錯誤を重ねながら構築していくその過程 (ソングライティング・セッション、リハーサル、アウトテイクetc.)を垣間見ることができる貴重な記録と言えるだろう。かつて自身のレーベルYtsejamレコーズより生産限定で発売していたが、このたび最新マスタリングと新アートワークによって待望の復刻となった。
