Dream Theater je americká progressive metalová kapela, která od druhé poloviny 80. let patří k průkopníkům technicky náročného a kompozičně ambiciózního rocku. Spojuje virtuozitu, komplexní skladby a koncepční dramaturgie.
Záznam Making of Scenes From a Memory - Sessions (1999) na CD/LP přináší unikátní pohled do vzniku kultovního alba Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory. Nahrávka obsahuje alternativní vokální předěláky, akustické outtaky, živé zkušební pokusy a raná studiová zhudebnění, jež dokumentují skladby jako Regression, Fatal Tragedy, Home, The Dance of Eternity nebo Finally Free. Vydání vyšlo v roce 2023 u vydavatelství InsideOutMusic, pro sběratele v limitované edici na 300 kopií v gatefoldovém obalu.
