Portnoy - Sheehan - Macalpine - Sherinian: Live In Tokyo
By Track review of "Stratus"The band knocks out drummer Billy Cobham's classic, rock-funk groove "Stratus" adhering to the familiar theme and melody, but extends the bridge section with guitarist Tony Macalpine's zinging crunch chords and spiraling solo. Keyboardist Derek Sherinian's, textural Fender Rhodes notes, sweeping organ voicings and interweaving synth accents parallel the pace. The band moderates the pitch then revs it up into a whizzing jazz-rock workout. Here, the ensemble gives "Stratus" a bit of a modern makeover. (Emphatically recommended...) *Armoury Records/Eagle Rock Entertainment has also issued a separate DVD package of the concert footage.
