All of the cover versions on Black Clouds & Silver Linings are pretty damned good, and it certainly takes a set of balls to cover mid-period King Crimson! Here is an article from last year when the special edition version of the album was released, courtesy Blabbermouth (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=122032).

DREAM THEATER's cover version of "Larks' Tongues In Aspic (Part II)" by KING CRIMSON is one of six cover songs that are included on the special-edition version of DREAM THEATER's new album, "Black Clouds & Silver Linings".

The DREAM THEATER cover of "Larks' Tongues In Aspic (Part II)" is now available at iTunes.

Video footage of DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy talking about the band's decision to cover the KING CRIMSON track can be viewed below.

The six cover songs that are included on the special-edition version of "Black Clouds & Silver Linings" are as follows:

01. Stargazer - RAINBOW
02. Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley - QUEEN
03. Odyssey - DIXIE DREGS
04. Take Your Fingers From My Hair - ZEBRA
05. Larks' Tongues In Aspic (Part II) - KING CRIMSON
06. To Tame A Land - IRON MAIDEN

"Black Clouds & Silver Linings" is scheduled for release on June 23 via Roadrunner Records.

DREAM THEATER commenced work on "Black Clouds & Silver Linings" — the band's second for Roadrunner, following up 2007's "Systematic Chaos" — in October of last year.

Portnoy and guitarist John Petrucci are once again at the helm as producers, while Paul Northfield mixed the record.

Here are the Queen and Crimson covers, which are (astoundingly) pretty much note for note.
