WIRED FOR MADNESS

Description

DREAM THEATER KEYBOARDIST'S NEW ALBUM In ‘Wired For Madness’, we find all the technique, sense of melody, and dramaturgy that have become Rudess's musical trademark. It's a true Tour de Force that vibrates and pulses, a perfect blend of old-school prog and piano for an ambitious work. There's even some blues, Jordan tells us: "'Just Can’t Win' is a twisted blues track! The other Dream Theater members call me “Blues Man” because in many ways, I’m the reincarnation of an old blues man's soul. I brought in Joe Bonamassa and a full horn section to help me make this track happen! For my more prog fans, this is Jordan Rudess in an alternate universe!" Among the distinguished guests are drummer Marco Minnemann, Dream Theater frontman James LaBrie, guitarists Vinnie Moore, Guthrie Govan, Joe Bonamassa, and John Petrucci, but the real star here is Rudess – equally a master of classical, a prog monster, and an interstellar master of the musical universe.
