    No actually BABS had a typo. This might surprise all of you, but I'm not

    Come on, what kind of question is this anyhow? For those of you that
    aren't aware of this fact: CD's are a *digital* media... digital
    meaning that the music is stored as a bunch of 1's and 0's. Tapes on the
    other hand are analog, using relative strength of a signal as part of the
    process to reproduce sound. So, where an analog tape will wear out over
    time due to overplay by the magnetic impulses weakening (I'm not a
    scientist, so don't flame me if I have this a *little* bit off), a CD
    does not suffer from that problem.

    If your CD sound quality goes down, it's not going to be something like
    the sound gradually becoming softer or weaker... it's gonna be something
    to the effect of skipping. Or if the signal is somehow damaged by heat
    or such (without it warping the CD beyond playability), then you are just
    gonna get garbage where your 1's and 0's got garbled.

         As being the only person on the jam to proudly say DT is my lightest
    group, I would like to say that Overkill rules. I will soon aquire their
    first 2 releases to make my Overkill collection complete. I believe they
    are very underated for all the great songs they have put out but with
    todays trendy metal (ie followers like Korn, leaders like Pantera) I it's
    easy to see why they get no props. They are very popular in Europe, at
    least more so than the states, so I guess if you like them you should
    move there.

         I got my Chroma Key tapes the other day and its alright. IMO if you
    take away the vocals you would have awesome instrumentals. The first song
    it sounds like Kevin's voice is cracking. A definite change from Kevin's
    DT days.

    Message-ID: <31766479.292@clandjop.com>

    Hiya,
            This post pertains to the question about Overkill's Horrorscope. I
    have several Overkill albums that I purchased back in my speed metal
    days. They never get any time in my C.D. player. I'm not saying they
    don't have some decent songs, they just aren't all that memorable.
    D.D. Verni (the bass player) is their one saving grace. He is a much
    better bass player than most metal bassists (Myung and Ellefson could
    still sweep circles around him) and he does some rather interesting
    stuff. The guitar players sound VERY much like Exodus and they do
    some OK lead stuff, nothing phenominal. My biggest complaint with
    Overkill is Bobby "Blitz". Boy, does this guy suck. His voice is just
    soooooooo irritating. He rarely even changes his intervals, just
    screeches along in a monotone. For those of you who have never heard
    Overkill, Dave Mustaine sounds like Micheal Crawford compared to
    Blitz. The lyrics are laugable (Look out baby, Daddy's coming to
    smash your skull in two!) I do not suggest buying "horrorscope"..
    Overkill dis mature a little bit on "the years of decay" and "I hear
    Black" is a pretty good listen. Try to find them in the bargain bin
    as they are not worth the $15 for a new CD.

    Hope this helps!

    I think that the only drum on IaW that was triggered was the snare. The
    advantage of triggers (the ONLY advantage) is that you don't have to
    tweak with the drum tension to get the right sound. This lends me to
    believe that there are no "cymbal triggers" since a cymbal doesn't have
    to be adjusted. My opinion only!

    Not all of the sounds on INW are drum triggers...the snare is...the rest are
    real sounds of the drums...I'm not sure about the "do they have triggers for
    cymbals" question, but I would assume that they could make them if there
    weren't any...that would be kind of a stupid trigger though

            I would agree with you here. One really can't use the word
    "alternative" to describe the music the word is usually associated with
    because it's so mainstream. It's used almost as a description of an
    attitude and age then anything else. The sad thing about this is that we're
    talking about people's taste in clothing and attitude rather than music.
    Too often, as in the vast majority of MTVs programming, the music is
    secondary to looking good and being "cool." It's unfortunate. It used to
    be pioneers in music were very popular - Led Zeppelin being an example - and
    people wanted to do new things with their music. Now, unfortunately,
    popular music sounds generic and I really haven't seen anyone pulling away
    from the pack. The Cranberries I liked in the past. Upon seeing/hearing
    their new video I could only tell them from any other female vocaled
    alterno-group by the "Cranberries" credit at the end of the video. It's a
    shame...

    Well, Neil, what do you have to say? I mean, you went on and on about how
    no one said anything but you didn't really have a comment about it.
    Personally, I don't know much about it. That's right, I don't watch nor
    listen to the news. I only read the newspaper and don't even read a whole
    lot of it. I figure that if it's important enough to directly effect me,
    it will be on the front page. I can then select to read it or not. The
    uni-bomber is just a media-showcase. I can't stand the way the media
    (esp. television news shows) makes everything into an event so I don't
    watch (power of self-censorship). So some guy's arrested. I'm sure he'll
    either sue someone or plead insanity.

    Hey! (more NDTC) anyone know who Mike Keneally is? He used to play with
    Zappa then with Dweezil. I just got "Boil That Dust Speck." Some of it is
    really great, lots of it is really funny. Someone recommend the best
    Frank Zappa album to get :).

    First, I wrote,
    >>Frank - try sending this message to /ytsejam-request@ax.com/ rather than

    Done. See below.

    Smartass! ;-)

    Then several other people jumped on the bandwagon to inform me of my
    error. All I can add is:

    Yup, guys, I knew that. I screwed up - as soon as I saw it on the Jam, a
    chill ran up my spine and I thought, "Oh, shit - I sent that to the whole
    list". I meant to send that to him personally, not to everybody. And by
    now I suspect he's gotten the message from someone else...

    Oops. What a way to introduce myself to this list...

    Well, since that was my (inadvertent) first post to the Jam (I've been
    lurking for about a month or so), please welcome me aboard at least! ;-)

    I'll partake of a brief bit of self-indulgence here - please scroll to
    the end of this post now if you're not interested...

    Musically, I like just about anything with musical value and creativity,
    from DT, Rush, Ozric Tentacles, etc., to classical music, to
    international music. I haven't yet been able to develop a taste for rap,
    r&b, etc., but not because I haven't tried. I approach all music with an
    open mind, which probably explains why my CD collection is huge and my
    bank account is small... ;-)

    DT content: I've been a DT fan for almost a year now, ever since I first
    found Awake in a CD store and picked it up out of sheer curiosity (I do
    this periodically, for no reason I can even guess at).

    Every time I listen to this album, I find something new in it. That's
    the hallmark of complex music so far as I'm concerned, and one of the
    aspects of DT (and good music in general) that really appeals to me.

    silent because I was innocent. Then they repealed the 2nd Amendment, yet
    still I remained silent because I don't own a gun. Now they've repealed
    the 1st Amendment, and now I remain silent because I don't have a choice.
