14CD set. THE STUDIO ALBUMS 1992-2016 brings together nearly 25 years of groundbreaking music. It unites 12 of the band's core studio works for the first time across 14CDs. The boxed set charts more than two decades of Dream Theater's musical growth-a career that helped define the sound of modern progressive metal while selling more than 12 million albums worldwide. It begins with the band's gold-certified 1992 breakthrough, IMAGES AND WORDS, featuring the Top 10 hit InchPull Me Under,Inch then navigates a prolific decade as the band scaled new creative heights on albums like METROPOLIS Pt. 2 SCENES FROM A MEMORY, one of the greatest concept albums in progressive-rock history. The band continued adding to it's legacy in the 21st century with a string of acclaimed works, like SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE and Octavarium-milestones that expanded Dream Theater's musical range and cemented their reputation for unmatched technical precision and ambition.

For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the of Awake - his second LP for Ghostly International - the solo project evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record. Following 2011's Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O'Connor's live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. InchAfter the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,Inch Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho's creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond it's current sound. In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn't until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. InchIt crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,Inch says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like InchMontanaInch and InchAwakeInch are a departure from Tycho's previous material - unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record - while InchSeeInch and InchDyeInch echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesize
