Following the overwhelming success of their previous Dream Theater vinyl releases - Images & Words and Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory which both sold out in weeks - Brookvale Records proudly presents two more classic titles from the world's greatest progressive metal band. 1994's Awake and 1997's Falling Into Infinity each mark distinctive periods in Dream Theater's impressive discography. Awake was the band's third full-length following When Dream and Day Unite (1989) and Images & Words (1992) and last to feature keyboardist Kevin Moore. Darker and more guitar-based, the transitional 11-song effort is home to the singles "Lie," "Caught in a Web" and "The Silent Man." It's follow-up, the Kevin Shirley-produced Falling Into Infinity, was Dream Theater's first with Moore's replacement Derek Sherinian, a trimmed down and more even-tempered 11-track affair featuring cover art by Storm Thorgerson.
