Yup. Mike Portnoy made the demos available for download about one month before Systematic Chaos came out. All the names of the songs are the same, but the music is totally diferent. All the demos are instrumental
if this is not dream theater then who is it? It sounds good though i am not too conident that it is dreamtheater. I would say its not. This also makes me wonder who is it...
Actually the writers are Ant Law and Andy Rowland Dream Theater had a song writing contest during the making of Train of Thought to see if the fans could interpret Stream of Consciousness
i bought this album and its says that "systematic chaos inst." it annoys me because the constant motion in my album is isnt the original constant motion.
This piece deserved to win that contest. Although it doesn't really meet the closeness to the actual song requisite like... at all. It kinda makes me think of amaran's plight now that those guys are around.
I have all the songs yes, but, the torrent I have long lost. I think i took it from Demonoid, which is definitely a place you want to get torrents from, but you can only use it if you're invited by someone. and I would invite you, but i live in Canada, and they recently decided to block off Canadians from it, so theres nothing i can do.
I've just searched Demonoid now and all I find is Live at Budokan and Systematic Chaos (seeing as the entries were put on the internet as the "demos")
Maybe you could put them in a .zip file and upload it for me? (MediaFire, RapidShare etc) I've used this torrent before and it never goes above ~40% (maybe everyone's given up on seeding, I don't know)
it sounds like Andy Rowland and Ant Law's entry for the dream theater international fan club magazine "Theater of Dreams" song contest, not completly sure it's been a long time since i've heard it
It;s suppose to be from the Systematic Cahos demos and apparently its not just this track there are 4 more with the names of the tracks from Systematic Chaos it could be DT jamming to get ideas of the new album which sound really good I must say but natrually no mixing no production but this sounds like DT!
This is from a contest regarding the most musically eficient replica of "stream of consciousness".It's not DT , it's fans' band & released only through the fanclub ;)
I donno...tone sounds nothing like Jp's and bass is nothing like JM... but the playing is very similiar I think... except okay so I am still writing and listening...around 2:06 I think when the keys come in... it sounds like kevin... but the first part with the piano isn't very Kevin in my opinion...ah it's probablly not even DT so I donno why I am trying to find the logic for it to be...
this sounds like it could be by that band opeth. i don't know, but i heard a very similar instrumental that was unknown to me until i found out it was by them. check into that, it could be them.
Definitely not DT, but still sounds F*KING great! The guys whoever they were tried to make it look like DT as possible as they could, but there is great difference and it's first of all harmonical!
the guitar lead destortion is not petrucci, and the key lead is not jordans signature lead.. jordan also would never only like two sounds^^ he always use up to 20 for every song.. and the snare is also not MP.. and at least in the end: the big sound picture is not produced like only one of DT's great albums xD.. so this is NOT a work of DT^^ but it sounds cool anyway.........^^
see what happens when you download music illegally thinking your going to get a early release, lmao...definitely not DT...I can't believe you even thought for a second it was them...
i think it sounds a little like them, maybe more like the old stuff than what actually appeared on systematic chaos, some elements at least, like the final guitar solo. But the piano isn´t very rudess. But i changed the information, so now it´s just a DT slideshow with an unknown instrumental :P
i think it´s a little ironic some how, before i heard this song half a year ago i weren´t a Dream theater fan, but this song and hell´s kitchen made me by all their albums XD, was very dissapointed that i didn´t find this anywhere
This is NOT Dream Theater. It is an artist called "Andy Rowland and Ant Law" from the '04 DT Fan Club release entitled, "STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS-Songwriting Contest Winners". A CD that contained 7 instrumental tracks by various artists who submitted their material for the contest. This is the same material that was "leaked" on the internet and thought to be the instrumental demos for SYSTEMATIC CHAOS. Not the case. Sorry to disappoint. :-(
That's certainly no disappointment, if a band managed to make me feel the way I do listening to Dream Theater. DT are exceptional, but I sure wouldn't spit on another band that displays the same musicality and technique.
Whre is the rest ????? How long is this shit ? Solo at 8:15 : that IS John Petrucci... I can't believe they threw that incredible piece of music out the window. Before the album was released i also stumbled upon a fake The Dark Eternal Night, that was I guess some Rudess electronic experiment with some outtake session...
lafree, they don't do demos anymore you tard, they go straight into the stuido and write and record in one session...so it's definitely not them, lmao.
OK! So they don't do demos anymore, fine... but this doesn't mean it's not DT! Maybe some experimenting with their Instruments, a song with some ideas just listen at the guitar solo at the end! Besides since I have the other songs of those unknown Instrumentals, there is the song also called Constant Motion with some riffs of The Mirror and Take The Time in it! It sounds totaly DT for me though I'm ready to believe it's someone else but I need some proove first!
it sounds like DT because there riffs from a DT song, lmao...and theres plenty of proof you dip shit, since DT NO LONGER DOES DEMOS!!! THEY GO STRAIGHT INTO THE STUDIO AND WRITE AND RECORD!!! proof enough for me, plus, it doesn't sound like them XD!!!
ohh we have a DT expert it seems!could you stop calling me dip shit and such things it actually makes your comment really ridiculous. Anyway even if they don't do demos anymore,do you honestly think they write and tada there it is!? However it's no use talking with you in peace because you immediately start offending me for my opinion!
I like it even if it's just based on DT style but by someone else
yup me too,i has listen,but i don't know the title,anyone can tell me?sory 4 my english

copy and paste the words below into your browser if you want to download this song, along with all of the other songs.
coming with them is a song of mine,
if you like it, that'd be awesome if you added my project on myspace, just search Ethereal Trigger, and you'll find it.
If not, I hope enjoy the other songs.

thissignupisannoying 3 years ago
yeah,
this is Andy Rowland and Ant Law's entry for the one Stream of Consciousness competition.
im pretty sure these guys won it.
There's plenty of torrents where you can download it from,
you may as well download the rest of the top 10 entries as well, as they were all really good.
thissignupisannoying 3 years ago
I've searched and I've searched and I've searched. And all I find lead to dead ends.
I find only three torrents, two of which don't work, the other stops at under 30%.
Any I've missed? Any chance you have them? :3
Neotails8762 3 years ago
I have all the songs yes, but, the torrent I have long lost. I think i took it from Demonoid, which is definitely a place you want to get torrents from, but you can only use it if you're invited by someone. and I would invite you, but i live in Canada, and they recently decided to block off Canadians from it, so theres nothing i can do.
keep trying the one with 30%
it'll probably get more seeders or so soon.
thissignupisannoying 3 years ago
Oh, don't worry, I have a Demonoid account.
I've just searched Demonoid now and all I find is Live at Budokan and Systematic Chaos (seeing as the entries were put on the internet as the "demos")
Maybe you could put them in a .zip file and upload it for me? (MediaFire, RapidShare etc) I've used this torrent before and it never goes above ~40% (maybe everyone's given up on seeding, I don't know)
Neotails8762 3 years ago
hm. well I would do that, but i actually have neither. I can try uploading and sending them through e-mail haha,
That seems slightly reasonable, if they fit.
if you're in for that idea, send me your e-mail through a message or so (if you dont want to put it here)
