DREAM THEATER
AWAKE
Cat No: MOVLP1258 | Barcode: 8718469537341
LEASE NOTE: THIS IS A PRE-SALE FOR RELEASE 17th OCTOBER. ALL ORDERS WILL BE DESPATCHED FROM RELEASE
Awake is the third studio album by American progressive Metal/Rock band Dream Theater and was originally released in 1994. After the success of [MOVLP780], Dream Theater was eager to work on fresh material and retreated to the studio in May 1994. John Purdell and Duane Baron produced, engineered and mixed the album. The album's cover was designed by the band and features numerous references to the album's lyrics. The album peaked at 32 on the US Billboard 200.
Awake was the last Dream Theater album to feature keyboardist Kevin Moore, who announced his decision to leave the band during the recording of the album. Dream Theater auditioned for keyboardists to replace Moore for the upcoming Awake world tour and eventually hired Derek Sherinian.
"Lie", "Caught in a Web" and "The Silent Man" were released as singles. There is no title track on the album, but the lyric "Awake" appears in the songs "Innocence Faded" and "The Silent Man".
Pressed on 180 gram audiophile vinyl and 4 page insert included, Awake is finally reissued on vinyl!
