I think that photo was taken using forced perspective, like in Lord of the Rings. Salty is a lot closer to the camera than it looks.

Winmar - I used to run Rudess' website and have done bits and pieces of stuff for Jordan and Mike over the past 5 years or so. When I found out that JP and MP would be here for G3 I got in touch with Jordan who organised with JP for my photo passes and afterparty stuff. For the interview with Mike, I've had emails back and forth on various things with Mike for a while, so just took the punt and asked if he'd do an interview for OzProg when he was here. To which he said yes!
Great success.

There is a download of the first single from Systematic Chaos - 'Constant Motion' - available on the DT website: http://www.dreamtheater.net/news_dreamtheater.php#mp3giveaway
I quite like it. Heavily guitar-driven, contains a pretty awesome Petrucci/Rudess solo section. Despite the melodic chorus, it is definitely a regression to a more Train of Thought sound.
