James LaBrie leads box set series

Dream Theater frontman James LaBrie is the subject of a three-album discovery box set to be launched by InsideOut Records.

His work is joined in the series by similar collections from Kaipa and Redemption.

All three titles will be launched on August 14.

LaBrie’s set includes solo debut Elements Of Persuasion, first released in 2005, plus follow-ups Static Impulse from 2010 and Impermanent Resonance from 2013.

The Kaipa package features Notes From The Past, Keyholder and In The Wake Of Evolution. Redemption’s The Origins Of Ruin, Snowfall On Judgment Day and This Mortal Coil have also been bundled together.

InsideOut say the aim is to offer quality collections at an affordable price for those who want to expand their musical horizons.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
