(1997 – present)

Liquid Tension Experiment is an instrumental progressive rock/metal project consisting of Dream Theater members John Petrucci (guitar), Jordan Rudess (keyboard), and Mike Portnoy (drums), as well as progressive rock icon Tony Levin (bass, Chapman stick) of King Crimson. The combo was formed as a side project to Dream Theater in 1997. Rudess was asked to join Dream Theater largely because of the success of the Liquid Tension Experiment; Mike Portnoy mentioned it in the introduction of the “Liquid Drum Theater” instructional DVD and in the Score Documentary. Jordan Rudess had previously declined the offer to join in 1994, instead becoming a member of the Dixie Dregs. The band played fast, fusion-based pieces similar to those of Dream Theater, if somewhat more jazzy, less orchestral, more virtuosity, and (almost entirely) devoid of vocals.

Liquid Tension Experiment released two albums, Liquid Tension Experiment (1998) and Liquid Tension Experiment 2 (1999). A third album, Spontaneous Combustion, was spawned in between from DATs of jam sessions of Portnoy, Levin and Rudess. It was released as Liquid Trio Experiment as Petrucci couldn’t participate to these sessions. Parts of these, though, were later included in LTE’s second album. All three albums were released on Magna Carta records

Liquid Tension Experiment also played a few live shows in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles (1999 NAMM included!).
