The solo release is from the guitarist, Alex Lifeson. :-) The only thing I
have heard about it is that the lead singer from Skid Row sings on at least
one track.
The release date keeps getting pushed back, but this is the latest:
01/09/96 Alex Lifeson "Victor" ANTH/sor
The release date for the new Rush is not yet decided:
+10/96 Rush <title unavailable> ANTH/sor
And for DT:
07/96 Dream Theater <title unavailable> ELEK/ka
And for anyone into Fates Warning:
05/96 Fates Warning <title unavailable> MBR
Savatage:
01/96 Savatage Final Bell (live) ATL/br

Just checked out the Electra DT page, and in the article it's got a line
about the "now INFAMOUS 'Uncovered' tribute show." Did I miss something here?
Otherwise, I was wondering if there's some subliminal message in FW's
Ivory Gates of Dreams....after all, when you acronymize the title, it
ends up as I GOD.....oh never mind
anyway, thanks for the recommendations, I ordered, and received No Exit
yesterday, probably would have died before finding it in a record store
(without requesting it, that is), and it rather kicks butt
I'd rate it #2 among FW albums behind Parallels

p.s.> Hey, thought I might jump in on the "Name that tune" thread
no, it's not DT, but it does involve dreams, and anyway it a song
from my childhood...what song does this lyric come from:
"Funny how your feet in dreams never touch the earth"
(think women rockers)

After spending four days fighting with my screwy word processor and hapless

For any of you who care, this current issue has a couple of ACoS reviews
(including one from the illustrious Hairball, who actually managed to be
*concise* for once! <G>), a couple of photos from the YtseCon, Threshold, a
Henry Rollins spoken word performance (no, it's *not* all Dream Theater
stuff!), and...

It is NOT, I repeat, NOT available for dubbing. Even I don't have a copy, I
just got to listen to it. I have absolutely no idea when it *will* be
available for dubbing, or if it ever will, so PLEASE make note of this and
don't email either of us or the list, asking how to get a copy - just hold

Now that I've covered my butt, I will take a risk and post ordering details
and my address, to cut out the middle man.
This issue (as with all others) is $1.25 in the US, $2.00 anywhere that
requires air mail, payable in (well hidden!!!) cash or personal check - no
money orders, since the campus post office can't cash them.

Message-ID: <199511091729.MAA16490@engws3.ic.sunysb.edu>
A few weeks ago, there was a discussion about a drum fill that appears twice
in ACOS (I'm not sure the times--once before Another World and again towards
the end of Another World). Well, today, I was listening to TTT from the LiT
video and i noticed that MP does something very similar. This happens at the
end of the chorus right before "Close my eyes,....". Anyway, the questions
to any Ytsedrummers out there (Ben?) is, is this the same exact drum part?
I'm pretty sure that it is the same live as on the tape, and it sounded pretty
identical to me.

P.S. If this post makes no sense, then I'll go home and check the exact times.

Hey Jammers! I picked up Savatage's "Dead Winter Dead" last weekend and
I must say I'm quite impressed. I had never heard Savatage's music
before and after the good reviews I read about DWD, I decided to finally
check them out. Could someone please email me the FTP or WWW address

Allrighty Trey, I now you said you're not a theory god, but
here's my question for you:
You said the guitar plays a flat2. You said the tune is in a minor key.
You said the keys play a flat seven with respect to the key signature.
OK, now here's my question: is the flat 2 on the guitar a half step up
from the tonic, or from the relative minor? Because the flat seventh
with respect to the key signature (e.g.- key of C -- b7 is Bb) is the
same as a flat 2 from the relative minor (e.g.- key of C=key of Am -- b2
is Bb!!)!! So which one is it?!!
Later!

Message-ID: <v01510100acc69b744696@[193.174.4.141]>
Hi there,
The other night while I was listening to the studio version of Eve
I suddenly had a strange feeling of deja vu. The beginning of the song
sounds very similar to some piece of music by Angelo Badalamenti (the guy
that does most of the Soundtracks for David Lynch's movies).
I just can't put my finger on it, so if anybody on the list could
please help me out?
More rumors about the Ronnie Scotts gig video:
a friend of mine at the record store told me, he heard about
a release date the week before christmas. Of course this has not been
confirmed yet!
NDTC:
For all you out there interested in Pretty Maids (Jen, Kai..), I just heard
they got a new live album coming out today (11/9/95).
It's called Pretty Maids Screamin' Live and includes over 60 minutes
greatest hits live.
I've got a problem...
If any of you 'jammers located in the UK would be so kind and do me a great
favour, please email me and I'll describe you my problem (not DT related).
and finally:
Fuer alle ytsejammer, die der deutschen Sprache maechtig sind (Hi Neil,

Subject: Acoustic Dream kicks serious Ass!!!!!
Message-ID: <0099923B.079BB0E0.157@postman.harding.edu>
HELLO!!! Acoustic Dreams is absoulutely awesome. I feel sorry for those
of you that missed out on ordering this wicked CD! I have now listened to each
track and love it. And yes, it is much better producing than WDADU, as some
people have pointed out.
1. Another Day
I love this rendition of one of my already favorite Dream Theater
songs. The little Acoustic twist really adds some serious emotion to this
track which is present, yet not so obvious in the Images and Words version. I
love the way that they (Dream Theater) were able to translate this very musical
and full-sounding piece to an acoustic track, and maintain the fullnss
necessary for this song's sound. Teriffic Job!!!!!
2. Lifting Shadows off a Dream
WOW! That's all I have to say (not really, but it sounds cool)!!
I liked the Awake version, and from the beginning was one of my favorite
songs on the album. The Acoustic transition is brilliantly played and is
seducing in sound. I can't say which version is my favorite, but I'm beginning
to fall in love with this version of the song. Another great one :)
3. Waiting for Sleep
I must admit to liking the album version a little bit better, merely
because the unique sound of the piano is really needed here. The guitar
cannot carry a sustained sound like the piano because the same string has to be
used for the next note, which is really evident in the beginning. A really
good job, though!! I definitely give it a 9.5!!!
4. The Silent Man
Almost exactly like the Awake version, and just as much emotion as
the album version. It sounds a little purer and untouched and unedited
than the Awake version. I like the sound. It's really good quality and worth
a second listen, if not a third or fourth, or hundredth :)
5. Long Island Expressway
Is this an original Dream Theater song? It seems to have some
qualities of Dream Theater's work, but sounds like it is probably a cover.
I'm not quite sure where that guitar sound comes from, but it sounds pretty
Spanish in origin. I like it. It adds a new dimension of sound to their
palette. It's cool.
6. Tears
I've always loved this song when performed by Rush on 2112. This is
a great song, and always screamed out to be covered by Dream Theater with
someone with a voice like LaBrie. Granted, Geddy Lee's voice is great, but
James sure gives it a challenge. The sound quality of this recording is
superior to Rush's 2112, but probably because 2112 was recorded in 1976! I
really like this song! Another teriffic song :)
7. O Holy Night
Puts me into the Christmas spirit :) like nothing else. James hits
every note so perfectly and beautifully. I wish I had a voice like his.
This song is played so beautifully it brings a tear to the eye ;) Definite a
permanent fixture in my CD player around Christmas time from now on. I love
this performance.
8. Perfect Strangers
Hey, don't I already own this song!? Didn't Dream Theater already
release this song as a cover!? Wait a minute, that isn't James LaBrie!?
Oh, it's Bruce Dickinson. He sings very well also, IMHO, and does a great job
on this song. Of course, he should, he sanf it in the original recording.
nust say I like both versions the same. Exactly the same. Good sound quality,
sounds exactly like the quality on ACoS!! I'm serious!
9. Six O'Clock (6:00)
This version here has a nice, yet different mix that the Awake
version. It sounds to me like the guitars were definitely brought out
more in this version. And listen to that bass! WOW!!! IT really shines in
this recording! Listen to Myung go! Also, you can get a better listen on what
Petrucci is doing with his guitar. All-in-all, an absolutely teriffic mix.
Good job Mike!
10. Caught in a Web
Used to be one of my favorite songs on Awake, but that has changed.
Maybe this version will help to interest me again. Once again, the
guitars are more brought out and are very powerful sounding in the forefront.
The verse "Caught in a Weeeeeeb!" catches my attention more than the Awake
version. James's voice sounds purer and less hoarse that when he absolutely
yells out notes and phrases. I like his voice when it's in that purer mode
better that when it's in concert mode, but what I would give to see them in
concert. Rock on!!! Good version!!
11. Voices
Kind of dissapointed with this one, but am not surprised. I wish
that more (alot more) of the song was on it. I happen to like this song's
changing moods and find it to be an Epic of a song. Only a minute doesn't
supress my hunger, but I'll live. Somebody tell those people next to the
recorder to shut their traps!!! Man, there's nothing I hate more than
inconsiderate people. Well, what little there was was good. BTW, what is that
scratching sound in the middle of the song? Was it speaker trouble?
12. Bad
Pretty good, although sound quality leaves something to be desired.
Good choice on Mr. Bahr's part to leave Bad and Voices as Bonus Tracks.
Still, this song is pretty good. I don't know the original version and can't
comment on comparison, but I like this song now. Good job, Dream Theater :)
I'll bet that you all are tired or reading this, or maybe some of you want
to hear more, but it's over. Sorry for going on so long, but I felt that I
needed to write it. Mine was # 309 for those of you eagerly awaiting your
copy as I was. If you have it, isn't it teriffic! If you are waiting on it,
it's WORTH THE WAIT!!! If you didn't order it, I advise you to get with
someone doing dubs and do it now! You'll regret it if you don't.
Thanks a whole lot, Mike Bahr, if you're reading this!!!
Until later guys,
Chris Crowder (one happy camper :)

In response to you, you're not the only person in the world that likes
"innocence faded", but you may be one of the extreme few that doesn't like
"Take the Time" or "Surrounded". Sorry dude, on that playing field, you play
alone.
Now, I know that there's been alot of crap going on about people talking
about other bands and their works and some guys getting anal retentive and
thinking that we should stick to *only DT*. Well, screw that! I was looking
at a couple of the sample digests in Ed Polzin's WWW page and on a couple of
them it was nothing *but* stuff about other bands. Really, what do you think
that kept this list going in the beginning. There wasn't enough stuff by DT to
keep conversation all the time. Also, some of us, if not most of us, like to
hear about other bands on the list and what makes people like them, even if it
has minimal relation to DT. And to "DAVEGOD", you contradictory sack! If in
one issue you write at the end of your message, "Let's keep it to DT stuff
(paraphrase)", you can't write your entire next message as "The new Alice and
Chains comes out tomorrow, **** yeah!" and then bitch about others posting
about other bands on the list. O.K. That's enough of my preaching, and I know
that "DAVEGOD" has heard his earful lately.
Now, I'm goiong to speak about A&C for a sec. To David: It's awesome and
worth the money. It's harder than Dirt, but still has some softer tracks
reminiscent of those on Jar of Flies. It's a good mix and a good buy. If you
can afford it and want it, get it.
Later,
Chris

First of all, to clear up previous rumors, it is Alex Life sone, the
guitarist of Rush, who is putting out a solo project with Les Clapool. This is
scheduled out for January 9th, I believe. I didn't want to write it originally,
since this is NOT the Rush area, BUT I figured that since it HAS been mentioned
a few times, I will write it once to clear up any further confusion and
bandwidth.
Also, about Awake resembling Rush's hemisphere's, I thought of that the
first few months htat I heard it. Especially the song Hemisphere vs. AMBI.
Starts off with an instrumental. Hemispheres is about broken spirits in man,
whereas AMBI talks just about a mans MIND being torn. Then the last part of
both songs...accoustic songs, both about a sort of serenity, and peacefulness.
I think that there are many more similarities, but other may feel free to write.
What do you think.......Brian Eichorn

There's you, and there's Ytse. You know, it only takes two people with a common interest to start a mailing list...

Okay, let's get one thing straight right now. *I'M* the fucking idiot. Not you, not Hairball, not Joe Kruger. Me! The one and only!! Bafu Fucking Idiot, of the clan Fucking Idiot!! THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!! :)

Yeah, speaking of DT, anyone ever watch that show, "The New Zoo Review?"

Simple.

Interesting subject heading! I believe a few people on this list thought he was a dead ringer for Data. The REAL question is, what would happen if someone were to remove that squeaky sound the doors make on the Enterprise, and instead rig them to scream "PLEASE DON'T GO!!" everytime someone left the room?
Or get LaBrie as Captain Piccard. I can just see him pointing from the command chair, doing his mystical on-stage mime-theatrics, "Warp factor THRAAAAAAAYY!!" (sounds like "caught in a WEEEEEEEB!!")

Inanimate objects? Don't get me started, I know exactly what you mean. You walk into a room, and they just sit there! I hate them, those inanimate objects, ALL of them!! They MOCK ME with their silence!!

I don't know about anti-DT mischief-making demons, but it does sound like the slavering jaws of a Grue. They don't like DT, you know. They're not much into that "let the light surround you" business.

Kind of like how Fates Warning has that 'Ter feel to it. :)

Yeah, "Species" was a cool flick.

How did you know his name was "Pissed?" And who said I was taking votes for who gets to play the upcoming third character in Ytse & Jam?

"Indian" is always spelled with a capital "I," you racist, neo-nazi, Euro-centric, bigotted, communist, uh...frozen-doorknob-licking, sleepy, um...neanderthalic MERCY FUCK!!! :)

But do you bear hatred towards bears? What about Jenniebears?

"Dis-" criminate? As opposed to just "criminate?" You can't have a prefix and a root word without a root word in the first place, you racist, neo-nazi...wait we did that already... You...stupid, uh, mongoloid...um, FUCKING IDIOT!! :)

You forgot about those people that stick javelins in Halloween candy. They suck! There you are thinking about what a nice, strangely-gigantic tootsie roll you just received, only to find out the bastard put a fucking SPEAR in it! I HATE that! Damn disgruntled Olympics-losers... Taking it out on the children...
Ahhh, it's good to be done with those crazy stories. I can finally go back to being my normal old self...

Date: Thu, 09 Nov 1995 15:36:30 -0400 (EDT) From: EMRST2@vms.cis.pitt.edu To: ytsejam@anthor.arastar.com Subject: Japanese Awake Message-ID: <01HXFZVHFJMW9YEHZV@vms.cis.pitt.edu>
'Jammers, I admit this may be outdated, as I'm still reading posts about Operation: Revolution (meaning I'm still on digests from Halloween), but I feel this is important, so I will reiterate.
Concerning the Japanese release of Awake that some places are still advertising as "contains a bonus CD", don't buy it. The bonus CD is a 3" mini CD for which you need an adaptor ring to play in any standard American (I know none of them are American, but in the U.S. standard is 5" CD) CD player. The bonus CD only contains one song: EVE (studio version). I understand that this in itself is a novelty, but it's not worth paying $40-45 for just this extra song, and an album you already have (Awake). The reason it's not worth it is because EVE has become available on the Silent Man single, which is easier to find, much cheaper, and contains the demo version of Take the Time. It's readily available in Europe (especially Germany), and is pretty frequently spotted in the U.S. in import sections. Plus, this single should only cost you $15 tops, and again contains TTT demo, which is cool. So don't waste your time looking for or purchasing the Japanese version of Awake. I have both just because I got the Japanese release w/ EVE the day it was released in Japan through Kaoru (thanks again), and this was obviously before The Silent Man single was released. Then I got the SM single through a friend in Germany. I thought about dishing off the Japanese release to make back a portion of the $35 I spent to get it, but I figured I'd just keep it for the novelty. If anyone can't afford or can't find the Silent Man single, contact me for a dubbing of it.
KAI - glad to help fellow ytsejammers
