FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 25, 2010 – Independent musicians, graphic artists, and a computer graphics demogroup have collaborated on a grand scale multimedia tribute to Mike Portnoy, in celebration of over a quarter of a century of highly influential musicianship. Mike Portnoy's early investment into the internet, as well as his relationship with the global fan base, created a fad-transcending musical community that continues to grow past the post quarter century mark.

Mike Portnoy has always possessed a strong commitment to bringing a diverse lineup of "under the radar" support bands on the road.  These tours introduced hundreds of thousands to some truly genre-defining music, and inspired a new generation with music that would have otherwise remained outside the public view.  "Mike, over the years, has fueled an online community with tireless energy and effort, of which it has been a pleasure to be a part of.  Members of the community feel that paying some of that energy forward is the least they could do to show their appreciation," says compilation producer Anthony Morse.

The multimedia tribute appears in the form of a free three disc digital album, interviews, and some stunning music videos graphically generated by the legendary Greek demogroup Andromeda Software Development.

Honor Thy Drummer: A Tribute to Mike Portnoy contains 3 digital discs, 2 new, and a bonus 2009 retrospective disc featuring choice selections from the previous digital release MPF 2009.  Honor Thy Drummer features a diverse range of styles and approaches, drawing inspiration from Mr. Portnoy's award winning approach to music, created by acts inspired by his musical influence.  The resulting music seamlessly crosses many musical boundaries weaving from heavy time-spanning progressive metal to concise folk.

The Honor Thy Drummer multimedia collection is available for free download at www.spaceprog.com.  It contains the digital album in MP3 format, a digital PDF booklet featuring photos, lyrics, and bios of the contributing artists. Two of three interviews with contributing artists Relocator, In Progress, and S.A. Adams, are included, and shed light on their collaborations with progressive metal superstars Derek Sherinian, Mark Zonder, and Mike Portnoy himself, all of whom play on the artists' tracks featured in Honor Thy Drummer.  The third interview will be released in January.

The scope of this endeavor reaches across the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and the American continent.  This project, fueled by the hard work and dedication of all of the participants, resulted in a quality work free to the world, and without the complications of revenue generation.  The collection is, simply put, a high quality independent project available freely to all that desire the audio/visual experience.

Actually, I don't know if this is the right section to put this in. Mods, do as you please, of course.

[emindead]

I won't say he doesn't deserve a tribute. I'm glad this happened.

[dethklok09]

wow this is very cool that they are doing this

[Chino]

Is there any DT material on this?

[ZBomber]

Is there any DT material on this?

I don't think so. Prophecy Within is on it though, and they are an awesome prog metal band from Ireland.

Will be downloading.

[antigoon]

No interest in listening to this, but it seems really nice!

Isn't one of our members in that band??

[TL]

Definitely very cool of all those involved to do this.
There's a song by Bad Salad, which by itself is a good reason to download this.

I know one of them is a member on MP.com (thats where I heard about them a few years ago), and he posted a couple times here too, I think.

Yup, thats me!   Thanks guys! The song that he included on this is just one of our older songs..just a short one. We were supposed to write a new one especially for this compilation, but the timing was unfortunate as we were all too busy to find enough time to do it...it was really cool of him to still include this one though! Hope ye enjoy!

[contest_sanity]

This looks pretty cool.  Downloading now.

[Quadrochosis]

Downloading now to check out over the next week or so. Pretty cool stuff.

Was this posted at 6AM on 12/25? Or did MP do nothing this year?

[Jamesman42]

This was posted by a member there, nothing by MP that we know of.

Hey guys,

nice to see so many positive comments here after putting quite a bit of
work into this project! My band contributed a couple of tracks, Anthony
(the producer of this compilation) conducted a lengthy interview with me
and in the end I even ended up remodeling the website - check it out, it's
all new and completely different from what you might've seen earlier today:

https://www.spaceprog.com

And I think there's some really cool music here, so check it out!

[Global Laziness]

I'm definitely interested in checking this out, but how exactly is it a tribute to him? Don't tribute albums usually consist of covers of that artist's material?

I think it's safe to say that most if not all of these bands took great influence from Dream Theater and Mike Portnoy specifically.

Alright, fair enough.

Hey everyone,

since it's probably not a website you'll be revisiting too often once you have the mp3s, let me point
out that we have now added Anthony's "A few words from the producer" to www.spaceprog.com
