Dream Theater to amerykańska progresywnometalowa grupa założona w 1985 roku w Bostonie. Należy do najważniejszych przedstawicieli gatunku, znana z technicznej perfekcji, złożonych kompozycji i wirtuozerskiego wykonania instrumentalnego.
Album Lost Not Forgotten Archives: Making Of Falling Into Infinity (1997) na CD oferuje wyjątkowy wgląd w proces studyjny powstawania albumu Falling Into Infinity. Nagrania ukazują poszczególne warstwy utworów — od podstawowych ścieżek (perkusja, gitara basowa, gitara) wraz z overdubami fortepianów, smyczków, gitar akustycznych aż po wokale i finalne detale. Wydawnictwo zawiera alternatywne wersje, studyjne improwizacje oraz gościnne wokale Douga Pinnicka w utworze Lines In the Sand. Materiał odsłania proces twórczy zespołu podczas nagrywania jednego z ich kluczowych albumów lat dziewięćdziesiątych.
