Subject: Echolyn and Cairo
Message-ID: <01HOO7JIZ2FS8ZEP87@albnyvms.BITNET>
Hello, everybody. I've been hearing so much about Echolyn on the ytsejam
lately, that I figured that I would give my opinion on them. I picked up
their new disc a few weeks back and I was not instantly gratified with it,
but after giving it a few listens, I was hooked on it. They know how to mix
complex music with great melodies, but are not over the top trying to show
off their skills. It seems to me that most of the jammers can appreciate
Echolyn's musical skills, but are not very impressed with the music itself.
The only thing that I can say is to give it a few more listens and it will
grow on you.
At the same time that I got the Echolyn CD, I picked up a disc by Cairo.
I don't like them as much as I like Echolyn, but it is still good. It just
seems that they write long songs for the sake of having long songs, because
every tune clocks in around 10 minutes, with the album closer being 22 minutes
long. I love long songs, but Cairo's long songs don't flow like DT or Yes
songs. Well, that's just my .02. Any responses are welcomed.

On March 19, a Jens Johansson posted regarding the demise of
Headbanger's Ball. Well, I started thinking about it and I was
wondering if you are the same Jens who used to play with Yngwie?
Just curious.

What do their other songs sound like? Are they really heavy? or what?
what kinds of instruments do they use?

I do! Had several songs of theirs on one of a gazillion mix tapes I have
lying around, they're way cool. A couple friends of mine in San Diego are
diehard fans and they're always complaining that PW is unheard of in the US
but extremely popular in Europe. Can't find either CD as of yet...

I just got _Brave_ by Marillion, and I must say that I am quite
impressed. It's not the style I thought it would be, it's actually
better. On the surface, they aren't that much like DT but at least
on _Brave_, they are a great band. Uh oh, my post isn't longer than
my .sig yet, so I need to ramble on more :)
Ummm... this is now the third prog band that I have gotten into
directly because of this list, and the first one that had no outside
support. I can't wait 'til DT returns to Arizona, I unfortunatly
missed BOTH AZ shows back in December, and I feel really bad about it.
See ya'll

Thanks to those who answered my question regarding Max Bacon...
Ok, while I am on the subject of picking everybody's brains...
Does anybody know if John Payne (new singer for Asia) has done any other
work (probably before he joined Asia, but maybe concurrently...)?
Again, thanks for any info.

Message-ID: <m0rtvgS-00004qC@inf.fu-berlin.de>
Hi 'jammers,
My brother just wrote a review of the Berlin DT concert for his
school magazine, I thought this could be interesting for those
of you who understand german... so here it goes:
Dream Theater 26.Februar 95 HuxleyFs Neue Welt
Fates Warning
Musik in Perfektion
Fr dieses Konzert die passenden Superlative zu finden, fllt
schwer. Denn wer von Dream Theater ein reines Abspulen des
kompositorisch brillianten Materials erwartet hatte, der wurde
eines besseren belehrt.
Doch zuerst betraten Fates Warning die Bhne und heizten die
Neue Welt schon mal gut auf. Sie spielten ihren interessanten
Progressive-Rock, der live doppelt so gut kam wie in den
Studioversionen. Insbesondere die vertrackten Rhythmen, die der
Drummer perfekt rberbrachte, wu ten zu begeistern. Auch die
hohe Stimme Ray Alders kam ziemlich gut, und die beiden
Gitarristen lieferten sich regelrechte Melodielinienduelle.
Nach ihrem einstndigen Programm durften sie erst nach einer
Zugabe die Bhne verlassen.
Dann kamen sie. Und spielten. Der Opener tPull Me Underv ri
gleich mit: Dream Theater.
Was dann folgte, ist kaum mit Worten zu beschreiben: die
unvergleichlichen Songs vom tImages And Wordsv-Album (au er dem
ersten und letzten Song leider nur tTake The Timev) und
grw tenteils die Songs des neuen Albums kamen exakt wie bei der
Aufnahme. Alle Solos, rhythmischen Vertracktheiten, rasend
schnellen Harmonielinien wurden spielerisch gemeistert. Doch
nicht nur das. Der neue Keyborder Derek Sherinian (vorher u.a.
bei Alice Cooper u. Kiss), der nur zwei Wochen Zeit vor der
Tour hatte, um die Songs einzuben, brachte seine eigenen
Passagen ein, ein neues Intro fr tThe Mirrorv wurde entworfen,
ein neuer Jam ergab sich, in dem u.a. ein minutenlanges
Gitarrensolo (so schnell, da man mit den Augen kaum folgen
konnte) von John Petrucci sich mit verschiedenen Keyboard-
Harmonien gwttlich zusammenfgte. Mike Portnoys Drum Solo in
tCaught in a Webv zeigte alles, was man aus diesem riesigen
Schlagzeug rausholen kann, keine Sekunde war es langweilig,
einfach unglaublich! John Myung bearbeitete die Saiten seines
(natrlich sechssaitigen) Basses ohne Gnade und in einer
Geschwindigkeit, da einem Hwren und Sehen verging. Die Stimme
von James Labrie erklang um einiges hrter als auf den Alben,
war aber trotzdem kraftvoll und ausdrucksstark.
Die Bhnenshow war auch berzeugend, das Publikum wurde auch
miteinbezogen, im Hintergrund war riesig das Cover von tAwakev
zu sehen, und vor allem die Lightshow, die speziell auf die
Parts abgestimmt war, konnte vollends begeistern.
Vom ersten Album spielten sie leider keinen Song, auch wenn sie
am Anfang der Tour noch tThe Ones Who Helped To Set The Sunv in
den USA im Programm hatten. Besonders mitrei en konnten mich
das unglaubliche Instrumental tErotomaniav und die Zugabe
tMetropolisv, mit dem der Gig abgeschlossen wurde, das einfach
eines der genialsten Stcke Musik darstellt, das jemals
geschrieben und live gespielt wurde.
Was soll man also noch sagen? Auch hier findet man Rock, hrter
als auf den Alben aber ehrlicher als vieles, was man sonst so
hwrt.
WerFs verpa t hat, ist selbst schuld!
So what? Peer.
Macht's gut,
Ties

Really "Rock Over Germany" ??? Some information about it: This festival takes place in 6 big stadiums (capacity like 60 000 and more each), and let me tell you who will be there: Elton John, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Eros Ramazotti, Prince, Sheryl Crow... I can't believe it...

Yo!
I was just curious about the new Warrant album. If any of you 'Jammers have it, do you mind mailing me a review? I have DRFSR, and I liked that back when I was in my Fresh/Soph years of high school. Yeah, I'm that young! I've heard good things about it, like that it's got some changing time sigs and other prog elements. Naturally, my tastes are a lot heavier now than they were then, but I'm always on the lookout for something new.
I can't believe the ACOS EP isn't coming out until August! I don't know if I can wait that long. There better be some new stuff on it, too. I already have 2 CD versions of Eve, and the studio version of To Live Forever. But, ACOS is one of my fave DT songs--as long as it's on there I'm sure I'll be happy. Also, let's all give Freak a big pat on the back for his appeal to the record company--Good Job!
See Ya

Some interesting information from the German Metal Hammer magazine:
Awake sells: USA: around 150,000 Japan: more than 100,000 (platin) Germany: 100 000
The story behind "The Silent Man" (or just behind the video?) according to James LaBrie: An old man looks in the mirror where he sees himself as a young man, then in his mind his whole life is passing by (hmm.. bad translation, I think, hope you understand it...).
There were talks with the managements of Van Halen and Queensryche to open for them (for the bands, not for the managements ;) ) on their US tours! But it seems this won't happen...
BTW, isn't it really cool that DT's management (Jim Pitulski) does things like making phone calls to a DT fan in Munich or supporting the Ytsecon ?

I was listening again to Howard Stern this morning. The Mirror started playing. Howard said it was pretty cool and asked if it was Metallica. Someone (Stuttering John I think) yelled out Dream Theater. Then the keyboard part started and Howard said "oh, it just got lousy". Then people started saying they should lose the keyboard player. They said it sounded Egyptian or something...
That is at least the 3rd time they have played the MIrror on his show.
Anyone get a good copy (audio or video) of the covers gig yet? I've got a ton o' DT boots to trade if you do..
