Office of Strategic Influence, by O.S.I. (2003): Just as yesterday's focus was a different kind of prog supergroup, so too is this one. It reuinited three prog-metal pioneers who had all worked together at one point or another: Jim Matheos (guitar), Mike Portnoy (drums), and Kevin Moore (keys), along with Sitckmeister Sean Malone. Throw in a track with Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson and you've got quite a bit of stuff to digest. Honestly, I bought this to see how Moore in his post-Chroma Key style would mesh with his old Dream Theater colleague Portnoy. The result is fairly interesting - must less busy and technical than DT, but every bit as heavy.
