Spontaneous Combustion
built 629 days ago
Spontaneous Combustion is the result of the studio improvisations which occurred while John Petrucci was with his wife who was giving birth. The trio of Mike Portnoy, Tony Levin and Jordan Rudess continued to write music during this period. It was released on October 23rd 2007. A few songs from Liquid Tension Experiment 2 were spawned from these jam sessions including "914", "Chewbacca", and "Liquid Dreams".

Spontaneous Combustion is a recurring festival of short plays sponsored by ManhattanTheatreSource, located in the heart of the West Village in New York City. The idea is that writers and actors get together on a Friday evening, at which time the writers pull a couple of actors' names out of a hat, get briefly acquainted with them, and then go write a five-minute play, tailored specifically to their assigned actors, due at noon the next day. Writers are given certain common parameters -- usually the first line of the play and some sort of cultural reference to work in somewhere else -- that give the plays shared elements and lend a certain cohesiveness to the theatrical experience as a whole.

Spontaneous Combustion will have audiences eating out of their musical hands. If you feel like dancing, do so; if you want to sing along, this is a perfect opportunity. Great music, fabulous picking and singing, timeless music, and a touch of hunor come together in this wildly entertaining package.

One of the finest of Charles Dickens's novels, Bleak House is a fantastic detective story, a condemnation of the Victorian legal system and one of the few books to feature death by spontaneous combustion. It is ... as Andrew Davies recently noted, a wonderful soap opera.

The enigma of spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is considered the most bizarre and frightening of all the phenomena in the world of the unexplained and the unknown. Some believe that stories of SHC are only urban legends, eerie tales of people bursting into flames that never really happened to real people. But this is not the case. Urban legends happen to a friend of a friend, but are really untraceable back to any true original narrator of the event. In the case of spontaneous human combustion, one is left with the charred remains and ashes of individuals who were once fully living, breathing, feeling human beings.

Even in its best progressive structure, the bluegrass as played by Spontaneous Combustion morphs to an entertainment form that must be seen rather than described. But the results are absolutely astounding. Bluegrass par excellence; humor par bent; entertainment par extraordinary. But their music continues a tradition of progressive bluegrass innovation. Their music is, without a doubt, some of the finest bluegrass you can hear anywhere.
