Dream Theater’s 1989 debut When Dream and Day Unite laid the foundation for progressive metal as we know it. Combining technical precision, complex arrangements and early flashes of the band’s signature melodic intensity, the album introduced the original lineup with Charlie Dominici on vocals and showcased the instrumental chemistry of Petrucci, Portnoy, Myung and Moore. This 2018 Music On Vinyl reissue brings renewed clarity and weight to a landmark first chapter in the band’s evolution.
