Has Mike (or Dream Theater in general) ever considered releasing any of their albums on DVD-A (DVD audio) format?
MP: I’ve seen them, but haven’t checked one out yet. But they look TOTALLY up my alley! In cases like these, we do not control what we can and can’t release…it is up to our label. Right now, I am grateful we were able to get the green light on the whole DVD project, so I’m not going to push our luck!! I do know that our label (Elektra) did a DVD-A for Metallica’s Black album, so they are beginning to go into that technology (Metallica was also Elektra’s first DVD), so there is the *possibility* we can persuade them to let us utilize the medium with our new CD.
