Message-ID: <199509070426.VAA21055@bud.indirect.com>
This is the update for the rest of the net for Cygnus.. the price
for Jammers is still only $23.
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY: RUSH - CYGNUS
UPDATE for 9/9/1995
NOTICE: INTERNET EMAIL ADDRESS CHANGE: I am now durnik@indirect.com
QUICK NOTE: The first 350 CDs have already been shipped! More to come!
I am sending them via Us Postal Service book rate. This means
it can sometimes take a week or more for it to make it to you
(though people from the west coast seem to be getting theirs
in 2-3 days). I promise, I'm crankin' them out as fast as is
humanly possible! There have been three or four instances of
lost CDs... I'm getting those re-sent as everthing is bulk
insured.
Hi all! It's time to update y'all on the CD project. I have finally
received my shipment of the Rush CYGNUS CD, a CD with an incredible sound
board show from the mystical Hemispheres tour, on it. And I guess I will go
ahead and take orders for it... if you like, you can email a reservation
before you send your check or MO. Here's the info:
Rush "CYGNUS"

Running time 72:52
I did a pre-order project like this for the Dream Theater mailing list
a few months back and it worked out very, very well. Any of you who want a
reference or voucher for me, direct your question at any DT fan who is on
the Ytsejam list, and I'll let their judgment be the Word.
How to order:
(PLEASE ALLOW 3 to 4 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY.)
-A lot of you might have forgotten about this. Since the oldest
orders in the queue that are not yet mailed are only 3 weeks
old, I'm catching up slowly but surely.
Send a cashier's check or money order (made out to me) to:
Michael Bahr
Limelight Music
3175 N. Price Rd. #1066
Chandler, AZ 85224
Note: I'm just a humble fan with a project going, not a store
or CD warehouse... the dealers and mailorder places can give
way better prices on other common boots so I don't have or
sell any of them. Limelight is what I put on my business license
so that I could pay sales tax, thus nobody would ask how I was
getting all this money to deposit and why I'd dump thousands
at a time into CD production. :)
The price is as follows:
$25 US - base
free - postage within the USA
$1 - postage in Canada
$2 - postage to anywhere else
So it would cost $25 to send it to Strawberry, Arizona... $26 to
send it to Halifax, Nova Scotia... and $27 to Saitama, Japan.
A note on quality. A lot of people ask me how does the sound compare
to A Right to Passage and Spirit of St. Louis. Well, I guess I can give you
all a rough idea. Speaking comparatively, ARTP emphasizes the booming bass
sound the most and has the muddiest guitar and vocals of the three; SOSL has
the booming bass and great vocals, but a muddy guitar, muddy drums, and too
much high-end distortion, and Cygnus has less boom (the drums still give a
mighty THUMP, but you hear the "thwap twang thwap" of Geddy's bass strings
as opposed to an indistinct booming resonance), the stereo separation is
clearer, and vocals are the clearest of the three. Vocals are really the
standout on Cygnus... it sounds like Geddy's standing in your room. So if you
want to crank up the subwoofer and crumble the walls, buy ARTP. But if you
like to be able to hear bass slap and cool effects, try Cygnus. As some
people have noted, there are some DROPOUTS that have been masked as well as
I could. They were present on the master tape, so I couldn't do much but
try to repair the gaping holes they left. I hope they won't ruin it for you.
Finally, remember that concerts back in 1978 didn't emphasize punch like
they do today, and you WILL have to crank the bass if you want this Cd to
thump-thump-boom away. It's guitar- and vocal-heavy balancewise.
Now then, back to ordering via cashier's check or MO.
Why use a cashier's check or MO? Besides the fact that they can't
bounce, they are traceable both ways. You know that if you don't eventually
get a CD or a refund, I'll be in deep shit. :) It's really the safest way to
buy, as I myself have been burned in net dealings before, I do my best to
alleviate those fears where my projects are concerned.
Apparently, this offer isn't as limited as I originally thought...
400 copies have been ordered so far. Still, this CD is bound to become
very valuable as it is a rare and much-coveted concert. Already, my first CD
offering "Dream Theater/Subconscious" is being re-sold by others for twice
what I originally sold them all for. And I'm afraid it sold out
completely... there are no more left to sell!
PLEASE! When you send the money order, TELL ME that you're ordering
the Cygnus CD. Most of you are already doing this, I just wanted to make sure
you all knew, as I am still wrapping up work on Subconscious, as well as
taking the early pre-orders for the next Dream Theater CD. Also, be sure to
include your email address. It's quite hard to get ahold of you if something
goes awry, without it. :)
A note on the CD LABEL: It does not say the word "Rush" anywhere on it
but all the songs are labelled correctly (Anthem, The Trees, Hemispheres,
etc.) and it says "Cygnus" rather prominently. Dont let this nuance of
labelling throw you off. A lot of you are already familiar with this, but
before the Italian Cd companies started legally making boots in recent years,
boots produced in the USA could not bear the band's name on their labels.
Look at Rush boots like "Through any Window" and "Nassau '82".. on the record
labels they have fake band names and song names. I just put the real song
names and "Cygnus" and left Rush off, since I didn't want to complicate things
any more than they already were. It _IS_ the Rush show from 11/20/78 and it
is already well known here on the net, if a bit scarce.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to email me or call me
at (602) 777-0501, between the hours of 6pm and 11pm Pacific time. I'm sorry
that I don't have an answering machine (as this is my home line, it's mainly
available to all of you as a courtesy) but if I'm there, we'll chat. I do
have classes these days so I may or may not be there. I do have work and
school like the rest of you, after all. Please understand why you may not
catch me at home the first three or four times you try. If the phone rings,
I *WILL* answer it if I'm there, that much I will definitely
promise you. If you miss me entirely and want *me* to call *you*, I will
do so if you leave your number in email. Please understand that it will
probably be brief as I'm a starving student with a phone bill. :)
Thanks all!

Subject: DT as sound F/X
Message-ID: <950907004346_12950796@mail04.mail.aol.com>
Hey people...
As some of you know, I work for a radio station
in Trenton (the studios are in Princeton, though),
NJ. Well, part of the "intern" portion of my "job"
is to gather up sound f/x and sound bites for
use on the station.
You may remember that I got a portion of TTT
(which I looped around) on the station as
background music (or, as we like to call them,
"beds").
Now, they're using the tail end of Mike's drum solo
from The Ytse Jam during one of the promos!
If you're within earshot of 'PST (97.5), listen for it.
(I am going to push the "O Holy Night" from SubCon
for Xmas, incidentally...and the Acoustic Dreams
version as well. <g>)
You might also be hearing Pantera soon- I went through
the entire Far Beyond Driven CD and pulled stuff off
of that...and I'm taking Awake & I&W back in as soon
as I get all my CD's unpacked.
I've been a busy boy! =)
Thought you might find it interesting. Ah, I know most
people in this area don't know DT, but, I get a great deal
of joy out of the fact that a top 40/alternative lean radio
station has to rely on bands like DT & Pantera for cool
guitar/drum effects. =)
Later,

Message-ID: <9509071459.AA06025@anthor.arastar.com>
Hi all!
In YJ#943, Paul wrote about Mortal Kombat (The Movie). I also thought it
was a good movie. The Art direction, music, even the choreography for the
fights... pretty cool! One note on the music.....
There is some really cool 'background' music played for various scenes...
Mostly cool drum rhythms and nice moody guitar accents... these are taken
from songs by Stabbing Westward's 'Ungod'. Anyone else ever hear of them?
They are pretty cool! They have a great sense of mood & rhythm. You might
remember another of their tunes from a Sony commercial. During the commercial,
Tony Bennett is shown driving in a convertible. A wing of helicopters passes
over head with big speakers on the skids... They are blasting an absolutely
kick-ass tune. Tony Bennett points a remote at the helicopters and one of
his songs starts playing. The awesome tune that Tony B.interrupts is a tune
named 'Violent Mood Swings' from that same Stabbing Westward album. That disc
kicks... anyway....
On the Musicland thing... Yeah, they suck! When I wrote a couple of issues
back about my ordeal of looking for the promotional CD. The clerk first asked
if it was a movie. I explained: No. I'm wondering if you happen to have a
_promotional_ copy of the CD A Change of Seasons by a band named Dream
Theater. She proceeded to walk towards the wall of released rock CD's and
said:
What was the band called? I said: No. It hasn't been released yet. I was
wondering if you might have a promotional copy of this CD. She said: Uhhh,
no, we don't get those...
How frustrating!!!!
Anyway... Have an excellent weekend! (I'm starting mine early!!!)

My local HMV here in Waterloo, Ontario says that their release date for
ACOS is Sept 19th, which is the same as the American date I think. This
is good news as I was worried it would be pushed back a week (like Awake
was). I don't really want to drive to Buffalo to buy another DT album :)
Any other DTers in Waterloo?

Hi all! A bunch of jammers have inquired about the release date of ACoS,
and a bunch of people claim it's Sept. 19th. Although it was supposed to
be released the 19th, at the Providence show, James mentioned that it'll
be released the 26th. So we've got to wait a week longer! Oh well.
Anyone know why this delay has occured? Could it be because they went
back and took out the "f" word like a bunch of wusses? ;)
Later, jammers!

nothing of acos except one which has it coming out the 19th...but that

Everyone here listens to grunge and alternative so i dont think many care.

> Please, I stress to all of you, don't miss this if you missed

> there simply aren't any more Sub discs to be had, especially because I would
> be MORE than glad to sell one if I had it.

> Blanks, materials, studio time, etc is cheaper per unit for a
> production line of 1000 than for 500, which is why Cygnus was cheaper for the
> Ytsejammers. Acoustic Dreams, alas, must remain $25. I was hoping to bring it

> to do that for the Public Affection CD, however.

> Things are pretty simple from here. Send along a money order for
> $25 bucks to my address, being sure to include a note with your name, the
> address to ship to, your email address, and WHICH CD you're ordering (after
> all, Cygnus is still in ordering) and HOW MANY you're ordering. As before,
> international customers may use whatever means of payment is most convenient
> for them, though I stress that sending cash is risky and should not be a
> first option, but a backup plan. :) Also, to pool opinions: would you all
