Ok. This is taken from the official Dream Theater fanzine: Images &
Words. Here's the info on how to get it. For 4 issues, it costs $14
or $4 for each individual issue. Send money to:
Dream Theater - Images & Words
8 Ryelands Close
Caterham

England
Since Neil is in England, he needs International Money Orders in
POUNDS, or American cash. No foreign checks. The design is VERY
professional, with pictures, and interviews. This issue has a copy
of the program from the limelight (with the Dreambill). The biggie,
though, is the interview that deals with the new album. Here's some
key points from it:
James and John P admit that they had nothing to do with the mix on
I&W, that they were "locked out of the studio" That will change this
time. They plan to work on the mixing, with the producers, Duane
Baron & John Purdell. Now they have 11 tracks that are planned to be
included, which clock in at 74 minutes. Mike says: "When we got into
writing mode, we ended up churning out so much new material. At the
moment, the only new stuff we plan on using (from the last tour) is
Puppies on Acid, which was an instrumental that we played before
Take the Time, which we have now expanded into a full song." Some
working titles include Kittens on Crack, Blowfish, Squid, and The Key
Master. "People are going to be surprised at how heavy it is. It
was real important that the songs were strong, but we did it
conciously, and without compromising the musicianship. This is the
album that will please every single fan, but will also silence the
sceptics who say we're just Prog Rock," elaborates Portnoy. "It's
the most extreme stuff we've ever written in every direction; by far
some of the heaviest stuff, but some of the most mellow and dynamic,
too. It has some of the most complicated and progressive stuff we've
ever written, but also some of the simplest. It's a mixed bag that
will please everyone." One song, "A Mind Besides Itself" will last
close to twenty minutes. "That one's three songs which make up a
trilogy. The first part is an instumental, the second a 10-minute,
almost Janes Addiction sort of thing called Voices, and the third
part brings it back down with an acoustic piece called The Silent
Sun. A lot of songs are going to be interconnected with recurring
themes throughout the album. It's not a concept album as far as a
story, but we'll be taking various musical themes and repeating them
to add a real flow. When you listen from start to finish, it will
really sound like an album, not just a bunch of songs."
God, I love Mike. He's such a talker. So, that's the lowdown. If
you've got the money, I suggest subscibing to the fanzine. It's
really good and professional. See ya!

About Bill's comments on Saga. They're REALLY good. I just recently
bought another album, "Images at Twilight" to compliment "Heads or Tails" and
I love them both (I think I like Twilight better) Their music is really
good, but I have a tough time finding it. ANd when I do find it it's
really cheap ($9 for Twilight on CD) So if you can find it, go for it,
it's great :)
(although the pic of the group on Heads or Tails makes the group look
like a bunch of geeks ;)

Word on AOL is that Fates will open for DT starting in September. Take this
for what you will - rumors don't make for reality.

Strange that NOW everybody starts looking for Saga...I thought their
time was over. I listen to Saga since 1983 - and I love them although
their newer records really are too much in the softer pop direction. But
the guitar is always biting....

Well, i must admit that I never understood why everybody complains about
the mixing on I&W, as i found the album sounding absolutely brilliant!
ONLY the drums could have been a little more in the live direction, as
you hear them often at the surrounded.boots....

Well, I really fear that the new album will not give me so much colour
with strenght and so much warmth and passion with its power and energy
as I&W did....but lets wait and see.......
