Liquid Tension Experiment is an instrumental rock project consisting of Dream Theater members John Petrucci (guitar), Jordan Rudess (keyboard), and Mike Portnoy (drums), as well as progressive rock icon Tony Levin (bass, Chapman Stick). The combo was formed as a side project to Dream Theater in 1998 (though Rudess was not a Dream Theater member at the time - some theorise that he was asked to join the band largely because of the success of the Liquid Tension Experiment). The band played fast, fusion-based pieces similar to those of Dream Theater, if somewhat more jazzy, and (almost entirely) devoid of vocals.
Liquid Tension Experiment released two albums, Liquid Tension Experiment (1998) and Liquid Tension Experiment 2 (1999) on Magna Carta records. They also played a few live shows in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.
