[edit] Notes
- Part of Acid Rain is played on the Dream Theater album Live Scenes from New York.
- A riff also on Acid Rain (specifically at 4:15) is very similar to the song Race With Devil On Spanish Highway by Al Di Meola, who Petrucci is a fan of.
- "When The Water Breaks" is so named because when the band was writing the central section, John Petrucci got word that his wife's water had broken. There is a "baby soundscape" to landmark the part of the piece being written when he got the news.
- John Petrucci tells us in the notes to the album that "Hourglass" was written and recorded in the wee hours with old strings - an indication of how much freer Liquid Tension Experiment is musically than Dream Theater.
