Well, I doubt I know you, but I'll be going to the Cedar Rapids QR show... I'll
probably wear a DT t-shirt, cause everyone there will be in QR :^)

a few additions. someone get all these down for the FAQ,
because I'll be damned if lots of people haven't asked about
these connections over the past months.
forgive me on times. I'll try to get as descriptive a location
as I can.
>Firstly, these songs have no other songs intertwined within them:
>Innocence Faded
No Awake connection that I could locate, but there is a wonderful
arrangement of Rush's "Red Barchetta" during the final jam.
>Voices
During the voice-over, when it gets fairly percussive, you can make
out the Erotomania riff.
>Lie:
>At 5:14, the progression from 2:59 of "The Mirror" is played yet again
>behind Petrucci's leads.
It pops up more than just once.... the bass plays it the last few measures
of the song, just before the end. Also the end of The Mirror (with the keys
lightly tapping out 5 keys/chords) appears during Lie's guitar solo.
If you describe the part between the last choruses where John starts the
wah pedal, its there too.

93 Million light years and the technology only permits 45 seconds of music?
Pretty absurd but this is an interesting thread. I have to answer.How about
the combined solos on Take the time? Or possibly the incredible chromatic
melody on CiaW? Remember, it's 1:30 at night, and my brain is shutting down.

We're not sure, but suspect Dominici, to be to blame for that
Beatles cover, and it was Jon Hendricks at the vocal helm for DLPM.
Damn, even having heard A Change of Season over 100 times (or
more) in the production of the Subconscious project, I still find it
incredible. It's so deep, it's like Dream Theater's own melding of The
Fountain of Lamneth and Hemispheres, where I find A Mind Beside Itself to
be more like 2112 only set up in the Hemispheres fashion.

I'm also a big fan of Light Fuse and TOWHTSTS.
LFAGA makes me really wish the album had been
well-produced...The guitar solo is totally awesome (I
love the way it screams at the end) but you can't hear
half of it because it has too much reverb and it doesn't
cut through the way it should because there's too much
midrange. Never mind James, that alone makes me wish
someone had a newer, live recording of the song that
I could get my hands on. I'm just glad they didn't
totally screw up the keyboard sounds too, because
Kevin's solo in that song is killer.

SUBCONSCIOUS CD Update!!
Current update: 5/1/95
Due to a cancellation, there are some copies still available! Go ahead
and send orders in... CHECK THE NEW ADDRESS LISTED BELOW.
If you wish, email me at garion@indirect.com to make sure I have a copy to
save for you.
Keep an eye on the Ytsejam as people are posting reviews of Subconscious
right and left. So far, nobody wants to kill me. For this I'm relieved. :)
THE BLANKS ARE HERE! THE SHIPMENTS ARE HAPPENING! :)
The first 140 or so have gone out. You may be wondering, When will you
get *your* copy? I'm sorry that I can't say for sure. Some days I get 20
copies mailed out, other days only 5. I'm doing my best, of that much I can
assure you! :)
By the way, THANKS to all of you who have sent "Dream Theater Bits" and
extra postage, and other gifts of goodwill, I really am enjoying them! The
DT-related stuff (newspaper clippings, computer art, concert ad copies, etc)
are a real treat to check out. All my friends are enjoying it! I really would
like to thank you.
1. Orders received
2. A quick review: what the hell IS Subconscious, and how can I get it?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
1. Orders received
Here is a brief list of the orders that I have received, paid, and
the CD numbers you will all be getting... if you are on this list, I have
your order IN MY HAND and you are DONE, FINITO... all you need to do is kick
back, relax, toss back a Kypler's, and wait for my CDs to come in the mail
to me, and subsequently, to you. :)
I _am_ keeping a copy of this list, in case future authenticity issues
arise, you can be assured of the full _value_ of your Subconscious CD. Given
the number of DT albums sold total, there is one Subconscious CD for every
11,700 Dream Theater fans. Not a bad ratio eh!! Every copy is numbered and
initialed in gold to make it very hard to counterfeit.
A quick note: you will notice I have set aside a few low numbers for
Kaoru, and I have done this because most of the Japanese Ytsejammers will be
doing a group order through her, and I wanted to get *some* of the low #'s
to the land of the Rising Sun, tis only fair after all. :) That's the only
orders that are not yet paid, because I'm awaiting it in the mail.

If I messed up, TELL ME!
I've proven to be far from perfect with these orders...
Also, I just bought a new desk to keep all this stuff in order with,
so a few envelopes might have slipped in between the cracks. If you sent your
order a decent long time ago and it hasn't shown up, tell me. I'll either be
able to solve the puzzle or I'll join you in befuddlement. :)
2. What the hell IS Subconscious, and how can I get it?!?
Subconscious is a CD, a project I undertook simply because I thought
maybe it should be done. It's totally privately financed, and I think with
the number of reservations that have been made, I will come out of it with
my head above water, for which I owe the trustworthy members of Ytsejam
a bow of gratitude. :)
NOTICE: This CD, I found out, is grey-area legality, because:
1. It's for promotional purposes only, not for resale, and;
2. It's not for sale.
What you're actually purchasing from me is
psychic advice. I'm throwing a free
CD in with every session. Notice all of my
messages end with "Take care"? That's pretty
good advice! :)
3. The cost only covers manufacturing and shipping.
I barely make minimum wage. Maybe I should
turn myself in to Immigration! :)
But seriously folks... as pertains to the issue of legality, I'm not
trying to make myself out to be some sort of arrogant ass. I'm doing this
project for the benefit of the Jam, and DT is overlooking it for now (here's
hoping they don't take offense to it...) I'm not making a killing
doing it, and it's taking an awful lot of time to get done. I sincerely
thank all of you Jammers who have had nothing but kind words for my efforts,
and I implore those of you who might not think very highly of my project
here, to please, give me the benefit of the doubt on this one. Friends? :)
And yes, the members of Dream Theater are all going to receive complimentary
copies. Let nobody say I'm a tightwad. :)
What happened was, I felt it was time to release some of Dream
Theater's rarer songs on CD, and thus I sought good copies from everywhere,
including some that came from sources connected directly to the band! Thus,
I think I can safely say that these are the best copies you can find outside
of those in Portnoy's vault at home. (God, I'd love to peruse HIS tape
collection... we might find DT covering "Blazing Saddles" or something)
I bought a CD burner and rented equipment from a CD pressing plant
nearby, so I could produce the discs. They will have printing on them and a
liner cover. I had to order blanks and jewelcases in lots of 500 or more,
though, and thus the risk was made: I emptied my bank account and placed the
order. Fortunately, it seems I will make up the difference with CD sales.
The blanks made it and I'm underway filling the orders. The price is
$25.00 US per disc. It was originally going to
be $27.50, but the CD place had a good price on blanks. Its true, as one
Jammer pointed out, that I could have kept the higher price and said nothing
about the blanks being cheaper than before... and nobody would have known. I
did it in hopes of furthering the fans-for-fans attitude that has (thankfully)
already spread throughout the net, and to make sure this project is seen as
distinct from those of the high-and-mighty quality-none big boot CD pressers.
The CD pressing plant I got all my materials from previewed my current
master, and decided it just wouldn't do. Without charging me a penny more for
another glass master, they agreed to take on the job of fully digitally
remastering the disc! They gave me a great rate on the studio time too.
So now it's done! The disc has been totally redone in Dolby Digital
Surround Sound, compatible with any CD player but MUCH MUCH better than
before, and compatible with Pro-Logic systems for full instrument separation
on most tracks. The remastering involved a thorough noise cleanup and proper
re-phasing of the instruments for center/left/right/surround.
Things have, thankfully, been cleaned up as best they could be in the
process, and I guess based on the early commentary on the CD by people on the
Jam who have already received theirs, it seems that the quality is satisfying
to the Dream Theater Fanatic. :)
Here's the still-final tracklist:
1. Eve (live w/samples) (instrumental)
2. A Change of Season (live, JL on vocals)
3. O Holy Night (CD on vocals)
4. Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight (CD on vocals)
5. Don't Look Past Me (Jon Hendricks on vocals)
6. Wanted Dead or Alive (Rich Kern on the so-called vocals)
7. To Live Forever (acoustic version) (JL on vocals)
8. The Gorilla Session (Petrucci)
9. Mission: Impossible (Instrumental)
10. The Back Pain Jam (RPM Warehouse) (Instrumental)
11. Awake Heavy Jam (Instrumental)
12. Experimental (Petrucci)
13. Tears (JL on vocals)
14. Winter (JL on vocals)
In some cases, the rawness of the original recording will be
evident, but at least you know you're hearing it the best way it can possibly
be reproduced. Subconscious is _the_ DT event of early 1995! :) Or at least,
it will be until DT's EP comes out... and I'll gladly yield the title if it
does. I love their music.
Here's how to order: (or how to pay for your reserved discs)
1. Please use a money order. It's simply the best way, and they cost twenty
to forty cents. Make it out to me for $25.00 per disc that you want (limit
5 to a person) and I am paying the shipping cost. Each CD will be mailed in
a padded mailer so it won't get damaged. Please make out the money order
to me, Michael Bahr, not to Feel The Rush or anything like that, since this
is really just my own personal endeavor.
I accepted checks for the Rush Video Montage, but a few bounced, and
I was left holding the bag. I've put too much money into this, and can't
afford to be stuck with bad checks, even though I trust 99% of you Ytsejam
members. Plus, best of all, a money order can be traced by you, traced by
me, and you know for a _fact_ that you will either get a CD, a refund, or I
will get thrown in the slammer! :)
2. International customers, I know international money orders are expensive.
If there is another way you wish to pay (wire, transfer, or other) let me
know and if I can do it, we'll do it. So far just sending cash has been 100%
successful, so I guess there's no real harm in it. If you choose to send
cash, send it in a thick envelope so it is less risky. For orders of more
than one disc, it is economical and safe to use a traveler's cheque.
3. Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery. By now, you know why. :)
4. I finagled myself a bigger mailbox at my apartment complex, so in order
to keep the orders moving fast, send it to me at the new address. It is:
Michael Bahr
3175 N. Price Rd. #1066
Chandler, AZ 85224
That's my real address, not a PO Box... so don't worry, I'm not
planning on fleeing the country any time soon.
If you happen to live in the Phoenix area feel free to call me
at 602-777-0501. Besides all the CD stuff, I'm always up for
lunch 'n' trading with local Jammers. I can't guarantee I'll be
home very often to answer (always out buying supplies, or at work,
or camping at the post office... grin) but if I'm there, we'll chat.
5. Send in your order:
. Your NAME
. The ADDRESS for me to SEND your CD(s) to
. The NUMBER of CDs you're asking for
. The money order, made out for $25, $50, $75, whatever
. your EMAIL address, in case I need to contact you (emerg.)
. (OPTIONAL) your home phone.
I won't require home phone because I want you to all feel safe that
I am not selling mailing lists. :) If you _do_ include it, I will use it in
case of emergency (maybe the mailman spills coffee on your order and I can't
read your address or something).
3. Original press masters...
The gold disc is sold. The glass master, I didn't get to keep. That
was sort of a sore point for me, since I paid for it, but the plant says
they just re-use them anyway. Ah well.
4. Epilogue
I am at garion@indirect.com and will remain there until the end of
time, so please mail me if you are confused, need information, are angry,
sad, lonely, maybe even a little whimsical, and need to get in touch with me.
Thank you ALL for showing such solidarity that a 21-year-old college student
emptied his bank account to order tons of plastic! :) You are truly, one and
all, ladies and gentlemen, the best fans Dream Theater could hope for.
Take care of yourselves, everybody...
Rent the Ranma videos! They're cool! Look in the Japanese animation section.

Robert Devereux: You're partly right. The first chord in "Erotomania"
matches the first keyboard chord in 6:00, starting at "Six o'clock and a
siren kicks him from a dream." They are exactly alike. However, on
"Erotomania," Kevin continues with a progression that is only found in
"Erotomania." That second chord is just _not_ in "6:00."
As for 1:30 of "Erotomania," I'm pretty sure that's not "Space-Dye Vest"
Kevin's playing in the background.
William Bazjek: "Innocence Faded" in "Erotomania?" Where?

Hi, I know this is not really DT-related but I had to!

Hmmm, on their first real album 'Ultramega OK' (always the coolest
titles) the cover the Lennon-'song' 'One Minute Of Silence', which is
just what it sounds like. Almost silence for one minute, some amps
buzzing, someone walking in the background. Actually according to the
Soundgarden Discography on a.m.s the song was originally two minutes
long, but Soundgarden only did Lennon's part, they left out Yoko's.
I have always been thinking about covering Cage's 4:33, which is also
just silence. Or any other of his strange compositions for that matter,
it would be fun to see a normal rock-crowd's reaction to something like
that.
Soundgarden also did 'Come Together', but I haven't heard it. It's on
some mega-expensive Japanese Import.

Also, sometime ago I read a lot of stuff here about your different bands,
some of you use to cover DT-songs, and I'm curious about this.
If you cover a DT-song, say PMU, do you do it good? I mean do you do all
the complicated stuff or do you make it easier at parts? It takes some
skill to play all DT-songs, and to do it well - uhhh...that's hard!
Respect to all of you struggling with these harder covers and not just
the runofthemill Green Day-Offspring-etc.
If you are that skilled, do you write original material of the same kind,
and if so, have you got a home-page with it sampled on, I'd like to hear!
I know about Elan and they weremighty good, but I believe that there are
others out there. Or do you not practice what you preach, do you play
Nirvana-music the rest of the time (I like grunge-alternative-etc-shit, no
offense!)
-------
Last thing...I attended a drum-clinic yesterday with Nicko McBrain from
Iron Maiden, and it was one of the funniest STANUPCOMEDY-type-shows I've
ever seen. This guy is just amazing. As for the drumming he said it
himself: "Well, maybe you would've learned a bit more on a Dave
Weckl-clinic", but I doubt that I hadn't been bored to death. ;-)
Have Mike done any clinics?

I would like to know how to get a hold of the pro shot Japanese Awake pay-per-view video? I have sent a couple of inquiries to 'box532@indirect.com' but have gotten no response and it said he is no such user. I would really like to get this and have bootlegs to trade so if anyone is interested and could help please email me at:
Thanks.bye.

Weird thing I just noticed.......Charlie D. over-enunciates and LaBrie does exactly the opposite........I choose the second way of singing any time.....
