Make a "Themed" Compilation of DT, using no more than 1 song an album...

[The Letter M]

Alright boys and girls, here's another fun topic for you all - make a THEMED compilation, ONE DISC only (max 79 minutes), and you can't use more than one song from any given album, but in the case of "In The Presence Of Enemies" and "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence", they'll count as one (so you can have one part or all in those cases).

Here's mine...

Withintrospection
"The Ministry Of Lost Souls" (14:57)
"Trial Of Tears" (13:07)
"The Answer Lies Within" (5:33)
"Stream Of Consciousness" (11:16)
"Wither" (5:25)
"Breaking All Illusions" (12:25)
"Space-Dye Vest" (7:29)

Now let's see how creative all of you can get...

Good idea, but this is hard. I'd say something like "A Fantasy Theater"

0. Intro/Also Sprach Zarathustra
1. Metropolis
2. In the presence of enemies
3. Stream of Conciousness
4. The Killing Hand
5. Voices / The Silent Man (This is ONE song )

Not a bad list of songs

It would indeed, although Afterlife would have to be redone with LaBrie vocals!

JLB Theater

Caught in a Web (co-written by JLB and JP)
Speak to Me (will count it from FII since it was recorded during the sessions)
One Last Time
Blind Faith*
Vacant
Sacrified Sons
Prophets of War
Far From Heaven

*was really torn between this one and Disappear. Chose Blind Faith to get a better balance of heavy vs mellow songs.
