For Immediate Release:

JIM MATHEOS/KEVIN MOORE/MIKE PORTNOY Project Named OSI;
Debut Album ORCHESTRA OF STRATEGIC INFLUENCE To Be Released This Fall On INSIDEOUT MUSIC AMERICA

The highly anticipated project featuring guitarist Jim Matheos (Fates Warning), keyboardist Kevin Moore (Chroma Key, formerly of Dream Theater) and drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Transatlantic) now has an official name -- OSI.

OSI will release its debut album, Orchestra of Strategic Influence, in fall 2002 on InsideOut Music America. IOMA Managing Director Jim Pitulski expects this album to be one the label's biggest sellers to date.

Matheos, Moore and Portnoy are the core of the band, and Moore does most of the lead vocals, but 'Orchestra of Strategic Influence' will also feature special guest vocalists to be announced, and guest bass guitarist Sean Malone (Gordian Knot).

Recording of Orchestra of Strategic Influence is taking place at Carriage House Studios in Connecticut with Grammy Award-winning engineer Phil Magnotti.

Listeners can expect to be surprised. According to Matheos, musically speaking the album is "not Fates Warning, not Dream Theater and not Chroma Key."

A limited edition, multimedia version of Orchestra of Strategic Influence will also be available and include concept videos from Moore as well as documentary footage.

Kevin Moore is an amazingly great songwriter, just take a look at Space-Dye Vest. This band should be wordingly good.

Great musicians, this should be good.Fates Warning and Dream Theater are killer bands

Personally, I would like to hear this w/o any vocals on it at all. Just the musicianship alone will be interesting enough. I bought the Transatlantic disk and wished it had no vocals. Same thing for Platypus. I guess that's why I dig Liquid Tension Experiment and Bozzio, Levin, & Stevens so much.. no vocals.

This is awesome! Truly a superb lineup and I will surely buy this when it comes out. But I really would have thought of a better name, OSI sounds a bit lame.

This sounds interesting enough!! I might have to check it out! Rock on!
