Tony Levin.. Do you know of his work in LTE (Liquid Tension Experiment) and "Dream Theater"? My brother is a drummer.. and turned me on to both of these bands several years ago.

Many people are unfamiliar with these two bands.. mostly because they refused to allow their compositions to be chopped into the standard 3 minute radio slots. You'd be more likely to hear them being showcased on select Alternative weekly radio shows. They are also two bands that feature some incredible piano/keyboard work by Jordan Rudess.

Here's one of my favorite LTE compositions,

Although Levin didn't play during this era, the vid posted below is one of my favorite DT compositions.
