    Hey, has anybody heard of a prog band called Atlantis? I've found their
    Internet page through the DREG Records Home Page, and it said that they
    should sound like DT and Rush, but with their own originality, or something.
    Can anyone tell me if they're any good?

    Love you all,

    I just realized the in my review of the con, I forgot the most important
    thing - to thank and congratulate Jeff Chew for a job well done! Putting
    together something of this magnitude had to have been a logistical
    nightmare, but he came through (apparently) unscathed. He gets my vote for
    MVJ (Most Valuable Jammer).

    I also have questions for all the shutterbugs that were snapping away during
    the con, particularly the people who took the IRC and Con group shots at the
    end: Has anyone put those pictures up on the web yet? Is anyone *going* to
    put them up? If so, please post the URL, because those are pictures I want
    to see. :)

    backwards is ytsejam, so there is Ytse-jam

    Hmmmm....you hear this kind of thing sometimes and I've gotta say I just
    don't agree. Contemporary R&B sounds very little like old Motown, to my
    ears. I just can't get jazzed up about R. Kelly and Boyz II Men and that
    whole bit while there are perfectly good Marvin Gaye tunes out there. I
    don't like the production much, to be honest. Just sounds too canned to my
    ears. Rap is different still, with a completely different ethos. And, in
    all honesty, there ISN'T anything in the 60's that really equates to, say,
    Public Enemy.

    ------------------------------

    I'm not into any nostalgia trip, but remember, the people who are most fixed
    on the notion of the 90's reliving the 60's or 70's are people who are of an
    age where they're equating what's happening now to what's happening in their
    youth. And, most often, it's just another form of deprecation. Not
    always....there certainly ARE similarities between some of the Classic Rock
    bands and the contemporary Alternative bands, but I don't think most of us
    are reliving a past (no comment on the Black Crowes)....

                        This is a silly arguement. My Oprah comment was a
    joke... but to some people, that's a valid forum for discussion. Oprah is
    (though I'm not big into talk shows that don't involve mutants with 3 arms
    n' stuff) a cut above your Jerry Springers and the likes. There's nothing
    mediocre about a woman who is intelligent enough to harness the power of a
    talk show to help people AND to become one of the most disgustingly rich
    people in the world. Further, though I don't watch Friends or tv much at
    all anymore (except X Files and the occaisional Sliders) I think it would be
    GREAT for them to be on ANYWHERE. I am above putting people down because of
    the shows they watch and or the shows they appear on. If DT were on General
    Hospital, you better believe I'll watch.
    > I can see Bush, Pres. USA, George Michael, etc. joining Oprah. These
    > are the artists most of America will accept as excellent.
                        This is silly too. We all have things we loathe. If
    this is what get's your goat, then that's cool. I just think you've missed
    the point that it was more a joke than a wish.
    > Is this sounding elitist? Yes. Am I slamming these kinds of artists
    > or their listeners? No. I like some of George Michael's stuff (don't

                        An understandable desire, but an unneccesary concern.
    Dale:
    >BTW, WTF is G3 (3 guitarists)?
                        I will assume you don't know that it's Satriani, Vai,
    and Eric Johnson (Along with Adrian Legg and Mike Keneally!). If you mean
    "Hey... that's a really gay name, and I could have come up with something
    better than that while watching my dog lick itself" then you're probably right.

    >>Voice..i think because they sound closer to Dt than FW,and dt-likeness
    >>is what i was looking for.. and yeah..Monument is my fave FW song..also
    >>Outside Looking In..and leave the past behind..
                         FW have been around long before DT, and are not
    supposed to sound like DT. They share the same genre though, so I
    understand the comparison.

                         A Hip-Hop friend of mine said that IO is some of the
    best music he's ever heard. Totally listenable metal. Still, I think
    that's good advice. A DT fan will PROBABLY like the albums in that order
    at first. My fav is IO though. (And don't think there's ANYTHING Hip
    Hoppie about that album... it was just an interesting thing to hear from a
    hip hopper)

    Woah, wait a minute. I don't think Kevin left because he thought he could
    do better solo. If you listened to his latest work, you will find it to
    be quite a departure from his work with DT. He is exploring an avenue he
    is interested in. Kevin fould himself wanting to take a different road
    than with DT. You cannot blame anyone for a change of heart.

    As for him working with FW...why not? He is friends with the band (read
    the liner notes..) and he has worked with them in the past. Face it, he
    is a damn good keys player. If you were the guys in FW, would you rather
    work with someome you have worked with in the past (and gotten along) or
    bring in someone totally new? Also too, there is the paying the bills
    thing. I'd sell beachballs at the beach if it had paid enough but it
    doesn't. That is why I do what I do for a living. Kevin is paying the
    bills (and getting more exposure) by playing with FW. There is nothing
    wrong with that. It wasn't like he said, "Screw you guys, I'm gonna go
    and play for Weird Al Yankovick!!!"

    I never touched the exit barrier!! :D Plus too, if they had signs that I
    could read, I would have been over with room to spare! But seeing Gabbo's
    girlfriend's expression when we got out of the car, I guess we got a too
    little close for comfort. Thank God I am not a professional driver on a
    closed course. Woo hoo!

    Subject: "Anthem" covered on Yngwie Malmsteen's "Inspiration"
    Message-ID: <M.101696.203521.56@wxs2-12.worldaccess.nl>

     Some of you may know that Yngwie Malmsteen did a cover CD called
    "Inspiration". He recorded this one in his home studio with a variety of
    singers (including former comprades Turner, Boals and Soto) and keyboard
    players (including Jens Johansson and David Rosenthal). Anders Johanssen plays
    all the drums, Yngwie plays guitar and bass (except on one track, "Carry on
    Wayward Son", where Marcel Jacob does) and sings on "Manic Depression".
     It's a very interesting CD, featuring "Carry on Wayward Son" (Kansas),
    "Pictures of Home" (Purple), "Gates of Babylon" (Rainbow), "Manic Depression"
    (Hendrix), "In the Dead of Night" (?), "Mistreated" (Purple), "The Sails of
    Charon" (UFO? Old Scorpions?), "Demon's Eye" (Purple), "Anthem" (Rush) and
    "Child in Time" (Purple).
     Of course, all songs are slightly overplayed when it comes to the guitar bit -
    but I love it. And I think "Anthem" is better than the one on the Rush tribute,
    mostly because Mark Slaughter doesn't sing it. I had high hopes for "Child in
    Time", but in fact it's been rearranged a bit too much (especially the
    beginning and the bit where the screaming starts) and the guitar solo ("crazy",
    according to Malmsteen) is awesome and super-fast but, after a minute or so,
    frankly, and this hurts me as I am an Yngwie fan, tedious (up and down the
    neck, up and down, down and up, for about 3.5 minutes) . Highlights on the CD,
    IMO, are "The Sails of Charon" (never heard the original, but it sounds very
    interesting and Phrygian) and "Gates of Babylon".
     The CD liner notes are pretty cool. Lots of pictures of Yngwie with guitars
    (two with at least 33 Strats in the background). Quite a few of the songs fade
    out on guitar solos, which I think is a shame.

    Hey folks,

    Has anyone heard of this band Kula Shaker? Cool new sound..... Their stuff almost sounds like a cross between Floyd and Phish.......but it's far from DT

    Later,

    Jammers-

    About the whole ACOS transcription idea, it's a fine idea except I would propose that somebody transcribe it first and GIVE it to them as they would undoubtedly screw it up by themselves (re: Erotomania, and the DT books(Warner Bros. but the point stands)). I'm sure we have some excellent musicians on the Jam who would jump at the chance to do this. Whether or not GFTPM or GW accept an outside work, I don't know. Perhaps a Wolf Marshall-esque discussion could be included. I do think it would be great and (for me) useful to have a good transcription though.

    Regarding Tool, I must say I'm incredibly intrigued by them, having been told numerous times how amazing they are. I've listened to a little of the new album but I need to really sit down and work through it. As for the prog categorization, my gut tells me they're doing stuff that could be considered prog the way Faith No More could be considered prog. And I really like Faith No More. Hmmm. I did almost buy the album because of the bitchinly freaky cover. I guess I'm just mired in indecision, hence I should go and wallow in it (or do laundry...yea...better do laundry before wallowing...or I could wallow in laundry).
