Explorers Club is a progressive
metal/rock supergroup headed by the Gardner brothers of Magellan
featuring, among others, James LaBrie, John Petrucci of Dream Theater,
and Derek Sherinian (ex Dream Theater), Billy Sheehan, James Murphy and
Steve Howe. Their first album, Age of Impact was released in 1998, and
Raising the Mammoth was released in 2002, to a slightly less favourable
critical reception, notably due to the album's somewhat odd musical
structure.

Platypus was a progressive rock / jazz-fusion supergroup that consisted of members from Dream Theater, King's X and Dixie Dregs. The group was formed in 1997 and disbanded in 2000.
Platypus was conceived by Dream Theater bassist John Myung and (then) Dream Theater keyboardist Derek Sherinian as a creative outlet where ideas that wouldn't fit in Dream Theater could be developed. Joined by guitarist Ty Tabor of King's X (who also sang lead vocals) and drummer Rod Morgenstein of Dixie Dregs, they released two albums between 1997 and 2000.
The sound of Platypus's music can be described as guitar- and keyboard-driven modern progressive rock mixed with influences from the 70s rock and progressive rock scenes, employing vocal harmonies and lengthy instrumental pieces.
Their first album, When Pus Comes To Shove, did reasonably well, so much that it inspired a follow-up named Ice Cycles, released in 2000. After this the band parted ways and there are currently no plans to re-form to record another album. The legacy of Platypus does live on, though, in The Jelly Jam - a project formed in 2000 consisting of three-quarters of Platypus (Myung, Morgenstein and Tabor). They have currently released two albums.
