U fiirso qoraalka hoose ka dibna ka jawaab su'aasha kadib isla luqadda qoraalka:  Passage: Bishii Janaayo 1991, kooxdu waxay ka heshay cajalad demo ah Kevin James LaBrie, oo ka tirsan kooxda glam metal ee Winter Rose. Kooxda ayaa heshay cajaladda ka hor inta aysan ku biirin heesaha kale. Kooxda waxay aad ula dhacsantay demo-giisa sidaa darteed waxaa laga soo qaaday Canada loona qaaday New York si uu u galo bandhig faneed. LaBrie wuxuu ku riyooday seddex heesood kooxda, waxaana isla markiiba loo shaqaaleysiiyay inuu buuxiyo booska heesaha. Markii la shaqaaleysiiyay, LaBrie wuxuu go'aansaday inuu iska daayo magaciisa koowaad si looga fogaado jahwareerka Kevin kale ee kooxda. Dhowrkii bilood ee xigay, kooxdu waxay ku soo noqotay ciyaarista bandhigyada tooska ah (wali inta badan agagaarka NYC), iyagoo ka shaqeynaya qaybaha codka ee muusikada ka hor inta aysan la wareegin LaBrie. Derek Shulman iyo Atco Records (hadda East West), waax ka mid ah Elektra Records, waxay Dream Theater u saxiixeen qandaraas toddobo album ah oo ku saleysan saddex heesood oo demo ah (oo markii dambe loo sameeyay "The Atco Demos" iyada oo loo marayo naadiga taageerayaasha Dream Theater).  Su'aal: Xagee ayaa qorshaha inta badan weli ku ciyaari jiray bandhigyada tooska ah inta lagu gudajiray mudadaas?
