Featuring Fates Warning guitarist and figurehead Jim Matheos, Dream Theater drum giant Mike Portnoy
and keyboardist Kevin Moore from Chroma Key and early in his career, Dream Theater. The music enclosed on this breathtaking debut, if anything, bears most prominently the stamp of Kevin Moore, which is a good omen, given that Kevin left Dream Theater due to a growing alienation with progressive metal, Moore subsequently proving himself on two murky and beautiful records as Chroma Key. The end result will appeal to fans of Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, David Sylvian, Radiohead and Wire as it will, the followers of Fates, Dream Theater, Vanden Plas, Pain Of Salvation or Symphony X. OSI, or the Office Of Strategic Influence, was an ill-fated agency that was dreamt up by the Pentagon, I think, shortly after 9/11. And their purpose was basically to disseminate information mostly abroad, and if need be, false information, to put the U.S. and U.S. policy in a more favorable light
