First of all, dedicating this one to Yanks is a very classy move. I am sure that put a smile on his face, wherever he is.
I was late to the party regarding DT(purchased a couple of albums in the early 2000s). My first were Metropolis and Falling into Infinity. Think i bought them because i thought it was a cool name for a band and it sounded "proggy". As others have stated the band really was a gateway to progressive rock, which i had abandoned for over 20 years. By the way i seriously dig this album.
