Perhaps this belongs in MPSIMS. Feel free to move if necessary. Lately I’ve been listening to Dream Theatre a lot. I just bought this album by them called _A Change of Seasons_, and think it’s great. The CD art is really cool. Anyone else listening to anything lately that’s just really great? ---

Well, since I upgraded to a CD-RW at Christmas and had two drives, I used to jumble two of my favorite CDs together. However I am without music now that I have discovered that the solution to [this problem](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=168675) was my soundcard. Anyway, my music of choice at the moment is the InuYasha OST and Amy Jo Johnson’s Trans-American Treatment. Japanese harmonies with a folk-rock chaser. Nice mix. ---
