What I am hearing in the OSI release is very Chromakey. Granted, this is
mainly due to the amount of signature keybord and recognizable Kevin Moore
vocals but I don't hear much of the other bands coming through (with a few
exceptions when the band decides to rock). The Steve Wilson song shutDOWN
which could easily have been lifted from Inabsentia by Porcupine Tree.
Matheos wrote a lot of the music it seems but I really don't hear much
Fates Warning in there. Granted, a lot of the recent FW is more atmospheric
than rocking but when I first listen to OSI I could just as easily be
listening to Dead Air for Radios. Overall a good disc though. I find that
it gets better with each listen. I love The Thing that Never Was. Too bad
it couldn't have fit on the main disk, it owuld have wrapped everything up
perfectly.
To sum up, I find that it is significantly different from Dream Theater and
Fates Warning but not from Chromakey.

The Bahr boots were primarily live rarity/demo collections, so you kinda
got what was available. Some tracks sound great, most decent, others might
as well have been recorded in a barrel going over Niagra Falls. The world
of bootlegs is a varied one, made all the more apparent when multiple
source tapes are used for one disc.

Um, I doubt it was a recommendation. By almost all accounts, "Disconnected" is
one of Fates' worst albums. Check out "A Pleasant Shade of Grey" or
"Parallels" for great modern Fates and ""No Exit" or "Awaken the Guardian" for
classic Fates.
IMHO, Disconnected is a steaming pile.
