The combo was formed as a side project to Dream Theater in 1997. Rudess was asked to join Dream Theater largely because of the success of the Liquid Tension Experiment; Mike Portnoy mentioned it in the introduction of the "Liquid Drum Theater" instructional DVD and in the Score Documentary. Jordan Rudess had previously declined the offer to join in 1994, instead becoming a member of the Dixie Dregs. The band played fast, fusion-based pieces similar to those of Dream Theater, if somewhat more jazzy, less orchestral, more virtuosity, and (almost entirely) devoid of vocals.
Liquid Tension Experiment released two albums, Liquid Tension Experiment (1998) and Liquid Tension Experiment 2 (1999). A third album, Spontaneous Combustion, was spawned in between from DATs of jam sessions of Portnoy, Levin and Rudess. It was released as Liquid Trio Experiment as Petrucci couldn't participate to these sessions. Parts of these, though, were later included in LTE's second album. All three albums were released on Magna Carta records
Liquid Tension Experiment also played a few live shows in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles (1999 NAMM included!). Mike Portnoy has stated in numerous interviews (and on his web site FAQ) that there will not be a third LTE album, as 3/4 of the band is in the current Dream Theater line-up. However, several songs and "riffs" have been incorporated into Dream Theater's live performances, such as the "Instrumedley" from Live at Budokan (2004), this song was previously played in several live presentations including the 2003 Modern Drummer Festival during the Mike Portnoy presentation.
In 2008, the group reunited and played several shows across the United States. Portnoy has since then stated that there will be CDs and DVDs released, as well as the possibility of a third album being produced.

Mike Portnoy
For the record, my sole vocal on this album at the end of this song is officially referred to as a “mow” 😂
It’s been around as long as over 35 years now and could be heard as far back as on the Majesty 1985 Berklee Demos and also is at the start of every single “Making Of” Documentary Video for Radiant Records (Transatlantic, NMB, Flying Colors, etc) much like the labels MGM lion! 🦁 😎

When the bassist has more strings than anyone, you’re watching a prog band.

When the comments under a video are full of stereotypes, you're watching a prog band

It's a Chapman Stick. Not quite the same as a normal bass, so of course it's going to sound different.
