Prog Supergroup Levin Minnemann Rudess to Release Album

LMR

Progressive rock has a long and turbulent history with supergroups. Some of them turn out quite well (Emerson Lake & Palmer), while others (GTR, Asia, Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe) wind up as awkward disasters.

But we have a really good feeling about Levin Minnemman Ruddess, a new supergroup featuring bass/stick legend Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson), percussionist extraordinaire Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson, Trey Gunn), and keyboardist Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater). This feels like the right blend of talents, and the trio’s obvious lack of ego should lend itself well to a collaboration. These guys have mostly built their careers by playing gracefully on the sidelines — hell, Levin turned it into an art-form.

The trio’s self-titled debut album will be released on September 5th. A deluxe edition will feature an exclusive DVD, which includes outtakes, a bonus track, in-studio footage, interviews, and home demo mixes. The first 1,000 pre-orders will be signed by the three members.

More info is available at the band’s website.
