Shhhh. This is for your ears only people....
My new solo album entitled "Notes On a Dream" just become available on my online store today.
It is available as a pre-order for the physical disc but the downloading is available immediately.
You can get a jump on checking it out before I tell the rest of the world tomorrow.

Here is the link to the store.

Here is a brief description:

Jordan Rudess, keyboardist for Dream Theater has recorded solo piano versions of some of Dream Theater's favorite ballads as well as creating some original, progressive piano pieces....

I also posted an interview I did all about this album in three parts. Here are the links for that:

JR! YUS

Is there any way at all to get this, although I'd love to have the poster I'm afraid $50 shipping for it is not in my reach.

I just want the digital download :biggrin:

Yeah, I agree, I just went to go buy the digital download and it's not only forcing me to get the poster, but it's forcing me to pay eight bucks for standard shipping on a free poster. :tongue:

I guess I'll just wait until the 50 promotional posters have been bought. :biggrin:

Apologies about the problem that the store is having tonight...
I'm sure that as soon as they open tomorrow it will be fixed!
I just wrote to the account manager about it!

Can't we get'em all in a special package? Hard Copy CD + Poster + Instant Download!

I'd love to get the hard copy but I'm really tempted to go digital to avoid the wait...

Believe it or not- I just bought m own tune (just to check it out!) and it worked fine.
Please alert the Music Today people of any problems you may encounter. They are very responsive and will work to make sure your experience is positive..

Thanks-
JR

But if they don't come down
resist the need to pull them in
then blow them away
better to save the mystery
then surrender to the secret

this part absolutely blew me away, the dynamics were beautiful

Beautiful. There are so many good moments in it. The bluesy Through Her Eyes, the solo in Lifting Shadows. It's all very nice.


Thanks Jordan,

Just bought both the cd and the digital download (just cause i'm an impatient guy). Sounds very good, I've always been a sucker for good piano rearrangements of songs I know, and these are excellent. I've always thought piano was underutilized in DT, so this is a nice way to get more piano in DT songs ;)

Congratulations to salty, as Jordan said in the interview, you are responsible for the great artwork. Wonderful!

Awesome! I didn't even know this was coming. EUR 8,80 for a FLAC download, that's very nice. I'll get the CD as soon as it's available in the Netherlands.

I hope JR plays a song or two from this album as a solo spot on the DT tour. That would be amazing and everyone seems to love his piano work.

FatalDreams

Samk, indeed that is a great idea.
I truely hope Jordan will "take a break" from crazy solos and do again some piano solos.

I love both, though. :-)

Oh my god...! I have been waiting for this! Thanks Jordan! :tongue:

I have not listened the entire album yet, but I already know that 'The Great Escapement' will be my favorite song :D But the whole CD is amazing!

Forgive me, Mr. Rudess.

Before you post this thread,
I found this topic at JR official JP web site(http://atsushisato.com/JORDAN/),
made a pre-order, and wrote my blog that I pre-ordered this album.

The only positive point about this is it's veiwed only few people.

Hmm, I very much liked to buy it, but the only payment options are credit card (I don't have one) and some other weird American thing. Furthermore, great idea to give the forumers a headstart in getting the album!

OK, Boss.

Just in time for me to include a short blurb in the fanzine as well! Fits well with the transcription of the podcast where this album was talked about (for the first time?).

Still listening, currently on The Spirit Carries On. This album came at just the right time, because I've been trying to have a new album to listen to for each day this week and didn't have time to buy one earlier.

I think this version of Silent Man is my new favourite version of it. :D

And I second the notion that JR should do one of these as a solo spot on the coming tours!

Jordan,

this album is so wonderful! I can't believe it!
Really really nice piano playing (well of course it is), you inspire me so much, thanks for that :smile:

P.S. You've been listening to Eldar, haven't you? :tongue:
