How Popular Was Dream Theater in 1989?

[CelloExpress]

I was reading about Geddy Lee and came across this article from Guitar For The Practicing Musician July 1989. When Day And Dream Unite came out a few months before and I thought it strange that Dream Theater was mentioned along with Queensryche who had been around since the early 80s.

I do not know how popular that magazine was but they were able to get an interview with Geddy Lee. So how well-known was Dream Theater in the Prog Land in 1989?

I was young kid in Holland and I remember in a music shop the cd of When Dream and Day Unite.
At that time I was really into Iron Maiden, Helloween, Anthrax, Slayer but also Pink Floyd, APP,BOWIE. Some years later a friend of mine he told me about this group and lent me the cassette of images and words.
I immediately fell in love and bought the iaw and wdadu CDs few days later
