I just wanted to let anyone who downloaded my program that there was a
bug in the Compact File option and DeleteCD option that caused the
program to lock up. There was also a problem with the negative times
being displayed incorrectly in the "Remain" modes.
The new version 0.85 is on my Web page. If you already downloaded the
old version, just download the EXE file (about 40KB).

Message-ID: <199606032213.PAA22969@bud.indirect.com>
Well, I got it, Carpe Diem #44. For those USA Jammers who sent me
the order, I made out the Big Check for Marcel last week, so it's already
headed toward him.
Carpe Diem is a very nice piece of work.. I wish I were able to come up
with slick liners like that. Legalities prevent my use of pictures of the
band, and that's one of the things I really like about Diem, naturally.
Denis and the crew did a great job on 'em.
This thing is on a RECORDABLE CD! That was a big shock. I was
originally going to do it that way, but costs were through the roof, and
the CDs can be defect-ridden. To Marcel's credit, Diem plays perfectly
all the way through, and obviously if costs were a problem, he wouldn't
have done the project, so I guess it must not be an issue in this case.
The painted label on the CD is very nicely done... trust me, I've tried. :)
As for the sound.. well, it's an audience DAT. It sounds like
one. It's crisp, clear, and contains clapping. The performance is
enjoyable to listen to and you're never suffering for clarity. The sound
level is a bit low on the CD, but that's what volume knobs are for.
I guess I may seem picky because of my experience doing it
myself, but I want to make clear that these are all minor nits and that
Carpe Diem is, overall, an excellent CD!! Definitely worthy of a debut...
hell, worthy of release any old time. Very well done!
If you want one, the man with the plan is at v932407@si.hhs.nl,
Marcel Berkhout. Take it easy everyone!

You think Ronnie sounded good on 'Knights of the New Thunder'? A few years
after that he started using a guitar with quarter-tone frets. Stick an extra
fret between the ones you have now and you get the basic idea. He was doing
some really sick stuff (read: good) with this guitar. They never really had
a catchy tune so they faded out. No real DT-type audience back then.
Everybody wanted 40+ minutes epics from their prog bands back then.
As far as Derek is concerned with royalties, the only album he'll get
royalties from is ACOS. Kevin will receive royalties from all other albums
and as long as radio keeps playing PMU and TTT and any other singles, he'll
continue to receive publishing royalties. Derek won't receive publishing
from ACOS since he's probably not on the copyright paperwork as a writer.
There's a cool article covering this side of the business in the new GUITAR
mag. It sort of explains why so many rap acts are filing bankruptcy. The
money isn't really there if you don't play the game right.

Time to get numerical on your ass. :)
1. Who's blowing up at you?
2. Who's blowing up?
3. Who disagrees with you that Relavitity will do whatever it wants?
4. What do you call someone who begins something, draws much love and respect, carves a niche in the world of music for a particular style, grows that style into a family and houses a host of struggling artists who write everything they do and have more combined musical talent than just about any other style of music out there...then suddenly decides to do a 180 and kick out all of his children in favor of what is popular and more widely accepted by the public? A fucking sellout.
5. What do you call someone who refuses to stick to his guns and instead runs with what he knows will make him prosperous as opposed to continuing down a path of hardship and unknown outcomes? A fucking sellout. I tend to grant this title to people who take the easy road at the expense of others, and as reluctant as I am to do so, I must declare that Relativity has accomplished that feat with flying colors.
6. Painful truth time. What do you call someone who decides to put food on his table, and in doing so sacrifices his trade for something less honorable, knowing he will receive a sudden increase in profit? One who willingly trades his essence for money with no regard for those who support him or those who he supports? Yes, the people at Relativity will probably have somewhat easier lives now that they've made this switch. It was a wise move on their part indeed.
But the definition holds.
A FUCKING SELLOUT.

Hey Keiji...I was a big fan of Ronnie LeTekro years ago, and Ronnie's influence played a major part in coining my guitar technique, so please don't get angry when I say this: I don't think TNT stands a chance at a real comeback.
It's not because of TNT's talent, but thier style (which they never became really well known at to begin with) of playing had it's time. Unfortunately for players like them (and myself), that type of music is not something that the record industry will even remotely consider promoting anymore. The labels are interested in only one thing: $$$$$...and the big money is being spent on Mallternative CD's with 3 minute songs by "flash in the pan" artists. (yes, I'll call those bands artists, but you can't make me call them musicians! you can't!! no way!! AHHH!) sorry....lost it a little there. :)
Although it's unfortunate (for some of us) the "TNT" type of era has come and gone, at least some of us can say we experienced it and were influenced by it.
Peace, buster

Hey Mooojo, I was not tyrying to say that Alex Lifeson is the greatest guitarist or anything. I was trying to get the point across that he is a member of a band that influenced most progressive guitarists. Since he is a part of that band, I am saying in some way he has been an influence. He has co-written every RUSH song so he does have some credentials.
The last thing I'll say about Hockey is just two words " Bryan Berard". You just wait and see what this kid will do, can anyone say Dennis Potvin reborn?

I have to second the Edge Of Sanity recommendation. Think of a progressive/gothic/death metal band, with great musicianship (though not as over-the-top as DT can sometimes get :) , and excellent songwriting abilities. As Neil mentioned, the Crimson album consists of a single 40-minute song. It is not subdivided into movements like DT/FW/Rush would do, but it flows very smoothly throughout, with several musical themes recurring from time to time. Lyrically, the song is a tale about the last generation of humans on earth who are unable to breed; but when a child is born it is percieved to have come from God, however, this child leaves a path of death and destruction. Amazingly, the story/lyrics were written two months _after_ the music was completed(!!!).
DT fans who appreciate the more extreme forms of heavy music should hunt down this album (Black Mark records, good luck :). Personally, I feel this album is strong enough to rank among 1996's best albums (esp. since there's no DT album looming on the horizon).

Actually no. They did two shows in the US for a warm up to their European Japan tour which they are currently on. The dates are listed below. Nothing is planned as yet for a US show. I have this hunch that when they get back from Japan they will probably go right into the studio and might not tour the US this time. But it is only a hunch at this time.
