Or, Systematic Black Events

80 minutes or less, see what we can do

1. On the Backs of Angels 8:42
2. In the Presence of Enemies Pt.1 9:00
3. Wither 5:26
4. Bridges in the Sky 11:01
5. The Count of Tuscany 19:18
6. Breaking All Illusions 12:25
7. Beneath the Surface 5:26

71.3 minutes, keep it a little shorter and concise (for DT)

Anyway

Pretty good but take out wither and put in BMUBMD

Jamesman42 · September 14, 2011, 02:11:38 PM

I think Wither works really good as a breather track though

Thats ok. The change was just what I would do.

No you wouldn't. You would take it as it is.

I'd add the beginning of The Shattered Fortress in there somewhere if I could fit it naturally.

There is no song on Systematic Chaos that I care about enough to remove a song from ADTOE.

As for BC&SL... Eh, I don't know, I like TBOT. But I still don't know about cutting an ADTOE tune.

A ridiculous 77minute beast

The idea of In The Presence Of Enemies Pt. 1 segueing into Bridges In The Sky is quite intriguing to me, actually...

If you extend the shakers by two and overlap Bridges at 8:48 of ITPOE, it's quite a nice and cool transition.

Dream Theater - The Best Of The Roadrunner Years

1. In The Presence Of Enemies Part I
2. Bridges In The Sky
3. Forsaken
4. This Is The Life
5. Outcry

I had enough trouble doing this just for the last two albums, and now you want to throw ADTOE into the mix too?

I'll have to think about this one.

This to open the tour please.

EDIT:

ITPOE I
Bridges In The Sky
The Count of Tuscany
Outcry
Far From Heaven
Breaking All Illusions
Beneath The Surface

1. In The Presence Of Enemies
2. Outcry
3. Far From Heaven
4. Breaking All Illusions
5. Beneath The Surface
6. The Count Of Tuscany

Only just fits on the CD. Contains the absolute crowner of every album - the two epics of SC and BCSL bookend it and the incredible four-track run of Outcry ---> BTS from ADTOE fills it out. I'd like to have Forsaken there too, but it would take up more than what little space remains.

A Systematic Turn of Chaos (79:38)

1. In the Presence of Enemies Pt 1
2. Lost Not Forgotten
3. The Ministry of Lost Souls
4. Bridges in the Sky
5. Beneath the Surface
6. Breaking All Illusions
7. In the Presence of Enemies Pt 2

If I say so myself, this is an overload of grandiosity. If this was an actual album, it would probably be my favourite.

Black Drama & Turn of Lining Events (78:49)

1. Bridges in the Sky
2. Breaking All Illusions
3. The Shattered Fortress
4. The Best of Times
