Howdy, Jammerz -
Okay, it's late and I'm REALLY tired, so I'll make my points short and to the
point:
First, in the previous Ytsejam, it was mentioned that someone or something
called "Alta Myra" (I think...) had the Winter Rose CD and the new Ryche
single for sale. What exactly is "Alta Myra"? I did a Yahoo search on it
and nothing came up. Sorry for my ignorance. Damn, it's about time the
Ryche came out with a single for the album!
Secondly, I'm so fookin' happy that the petition did some good. (Pause
whilst all Jammerz pat their backs...). There's hope yet for a '97
release!!! WooHoo!! :-)
Finally, I'd been meaning to ask for a while, but does anyone have the ENTIRE
Queensryche Unplugged show on audio or video they'd like to trade? I read
that in addition to the tracks showed on MTV, they also played Scarborough
Fair, Anybody Listening, and Rockin' In the Free World!!! There may have
been others, but that's all I can remember.
If anyone can help me out, please either e-mail me privately, or just post it
to the Jam. Thanx, gang! - Matt T.

Bah. Try this; an entire song from the esteemed National Health:
Phlak, phlakka phlakka phlakaton cash. Ker-chaffa, ker-chaffa,
oum ka ka oum-er ka kaf dof, flibbet, flibbet, flibbet, flibbet,
raka taka raka taka BISH!
It is claimed to be a spoken drum solo. I think they did it just
so drunk/high fans could make fools of themselves trying to say it. :)
Not surprisingly, 90% of their stuff is instrumental.

Actually, I disagree. Sure, 9/8 is nine eighth notes per measure, but by
definition of compound meter 9/8 is divided into three beats per measure
with the beat subdivided most easily into multiples of three. By
definition of simple meter, 5/4 is divided into five beats per measure
with the beat subdivided most easily into multiples of two. It would be
more accurate to call it alternating bars of 4/4 and 5/4 or 4/8 and 5/8.
I know it is transcribed in the I&W book at 9/8, but this is where JP and
I would disagree, I guess. :) That just proves that you can call it what
you want. Take it to your local music theorist and after a listen I'm
sure he/she would tell you it's alternating 4 and 5--not 9.
What am I doing? You all don't need a treatise on simple vs. compound
meter. :P

Stratovarius: Kiss Of Judas EP mini review:
(to be honest with ya, this is my 2nd album review ever...)
1. Kiss Of Judas
The song begins with haunting bass part & som eerie guitar sounds, and then
the whole band=20
joins... Maybe a little progression from Episode, didn't like the song first
time, but it
just keeps getting better and better. "...act of confidence, the kiss of
Judas, I feel the lips
on my cheek, the kiss of Judas.
2. Black Diamond=20
Jens plays some beatiful harpsichord (?) melody and then the band kicks in,
and with speed of=20
light, I'd say this is better one than KOJ, with lotsa cool gtr playing,
good solos, but I=20
especially like the rhytm parts. Timo Kotipelto shows some great singer
talent, and Jens plays
FAST like Tolkki, J=F6rg Michael and Jari Kainulainen.
3. Kiss Of Judas (demo version)
No much difference for the real version, little different eerie sound at the
beginning, and
lil' crappier gtr sound.
4. Uncertainity (Live version)
------------------------------
5. Fourth Reich (Live Version)
I liked this song when I first time heard Dreamspace, and now with Kotipleto
singing, Jens
playing kbs and J=F6rg drumming.... COOOL song, one of my all time Strato
favourites.
I'd give it 9,4 / 10

Well, I can hear it. I found it so obvious that I didn't even bother to
share it with my 2 friends (DT fans ofc). Once, one of them asked me if I
can hear that sound. He was curious because he discovered that the other
one can't hear it.
>It starts around where that man starts speaking and

Maybe it seems kinda strange: I can hear when the noise starts but I can't
tell when it ends. It's like it melts away or so. I think I just get used
it, so I can't hear it since.
>I can hear up to 16 kHz, that sound must be somewhere

How do you know that's your upper hearing limit is exactly 16 kHz and your
boyfriends 18 kHz ?
I don't have any "musical ear" (and seem to have just "first grade of
hearing" - I know when one plays and when doesn't ;-) ) but still I can
hear that high sound in S-DV.
