A two-disc version was released on November 8, 2005, comprising the original CD and a DVD containing a [5.1 mix](/source/Surround_sound) of the original album.[3] It is the only Saga album to feature drummer Christian Simpson, who had replaced original drummer [Steve Negus](/source/Steve_Negus). ## Concept *Network* appears to be a partial [concept album](/source/Concept_album) about television; the opening number is entitled "On the Air", and it features songs like "Keep It Reel" and "Live at Five", which make references to television programming. In addition, the cover artwork features a television set depicting five earlier Saga covers on the screen (the [debut album](/source/Saga_(album)) prominently in the middle, *[Images at Twilight](/source/Images_at_Twilight)* top left, *[Silent Knight](/source/Silent_Knight_(album))* bottom right, *[Full Circle](/source/Full_Circle_(Saga_album))* bottom left and *[House of Cards](/source/House_of_Cards_(Saga_album))* top right). On the back cover, the song titles were prefaced with "Channel 1", "Channel 2", "Channel 3" and so on, recalling the Chapters series that had closed with the previous album, *[Marathon](/source/Marathon_(Saga_album))*. ## Track listing All music is composed by Saga.
