Let's make a new Savatage album

Compile 45 minutes of music from all of the Savatage spinoffs post-Poets and Madmen. Meant for someone who knows nothing but the albums with the Savatage logo on them, who might be missing out on classic 'Tage material just because they didn't pick up the later projects.

Anything with Savatage members qualifies, so the pool is large. LARGE.

7 x Circle II Circle albums
4 x Jon Oliva's Pain
6 x Chris Caffery
1 x OLIVA
1 x Machines of Grace
1 x Johnny Lee Middleton
6 x Trans-Siberian Orchestra

+ countless other guest appearances

But keep an ear for what "sounds" like it could be a genuine Savatage track.

[I'll post my "album" soon]

Ok. I am in. But, I only have the Oliva/ Jon Oliva's Pain albums some Doctor Butcher stuff. I will contribute what I can.

Doctor Butcher's s/t (feat. Jon Oliva and Chris Caffery) basically picks up where Dungeons/Sirens era Savatage left off.

Totally agree, sir. "The Altar" was the first song that sprang to mind.

There was a thread about the song Adding the Cost.

Spinning this album right now:

I've got a tentative one ready. It's called Adding the Burden of Timeless Darkness.

1. Jon Oliva's Pain - Stories
2. Jon Oliva's Pain - Push It to the Limit
3. Jon Oliva's Pain - People Say - Gimme Some Hell
4. Jon Oliva's Pain - Adding the Cost
5. Chris Caffery - Solitaire (with Zak Stevens)
6. Chris Caffery - Edge of Darkness
7. Jon Oliva's Pain - Through the Eyes of the King
8. Jon Oliva's Pain - Master
9. Jon Oliva's Pain - Timeless Flight
10. Circle II Circle - Burden of Truth

Running time 46 minutes.

Though I'm not averse to swapping away Master and maybe either of the Caffery tracks. Caffery has a strong catalogue, but not too many Savatage sounding tracks. They sound more like Doctor Butcher usually.

This is the best idea I've heard lately.
