Jens played in Malmsteen's band during the early years (and on a couple
tracks recently) with his brother Anders on drums. He is now playing keys
in the incredible Stratovarius from Finland. Jens and Anders both released
a project with Allan Holdsworth recently, which I haven't been able to
locate. (Any help, anyone?)

B.C. Rich is evidentally still in business. They had a fairly large setup
at NAMM this past weekend. The Warlock series was featured as well as
several Strat-styles. And now for DT content. I got to play a JPM100P3 at
the Ibanez setup. WAY COOL, Jr.!!!!! The black and white Picasso thing is
pretty bitchin'. I messed around with a Universe Seven string as well.
Highly playable guitars, both. I preferred the Petrucci though. List
price I believe was $1599. Save your pennies boys and girls!!!

Can anyone give me info on the bootleg CD by DT called Scenes From A Memory?
Does it have good sound, packaging, etc. I did order it from Mike Bahr so I
will recieve it one way or another but I'd like to know in advance.
To the Devin Townsend haters, check out "The Last Time" off James Murphy's
(Testament) solo disc "Convergence"...its a great song.
Savatage fans, can you tell me where to get the bootleg CDs by them called
Live At L'Mour, Live In Offenbach, Germany or Live In Denver. I recently
recieved "Mentally Yours" (a live bootleg) and its amazing.

Jan Hammer is an actual person. Probably most popular during his
days of doing the music for "Miami Vice", he remains one of the most
expressive keyboardist ever. At one point in the eighties he and Neil
Schon (of Journey) put out a CD together that was really good.
My favorite, though, is the work that JH did for "Beyond The Mind's
Eye", a computer animation collection on video tape, with original
music by him. With the exception of one song ("Too Far"), each and
every song touches me in some way. He plays in a style more
reminiscent of a guitar player, with riffs and bends (much like the
honorable Mr. K. Moore).

Was a mapex player, he went back to tama about a year ago, Matter of fact at
Birch Hill 95, (December) he had his mapex set with 3x5 cards that said TAMA
covering the mapex logo, this is because at the time he had just signed a
contract with TAMA and they hadn't yet finished his new kit, and obviously
since he was contracted with TAMA, playing Maoex would be a breach of
caontract. Soooo.. they covered up the logo, around June or July of 96 ads
for his new TAMA kit started showing up in Modern Drummer and he had it at
the fix shows, its quite groovy looking. so there may be some merit to the
NAMM post. Maybe they have all the material recorded and thier label is just
giving them the runaround, or whatever.......

Hey Folks!
I got to see Mastermind in Philadelphia on friday, and I must say
that I was mucho impressed! Got to meet Bill Berends after the
show, too. Nice guy. I identified myself as a Ytsejammer (he knows
who we are), and asked him if there was anything he wanted to tell
the world. He said "Yeah! Check us out!" Not too profound, perhaps,
but I did put him on the spot.... Anyway, he said that they were
leaving for Japan soon - yesterday I believe - and they also have
plans in the works to tour with Spock's Beard and ... uh, (doh!)
somebody else, so we should keep an eye on their web page:
http://www.mosquito.com/~bberends/mastermind/
I also managed to get a copy of "Mastermind IV: Until Eternity",
which I like a *lot* more than "Mastermind III: Tragic Symphony".
I would recommend picking up #4 if you can find it (try Tower), but
you may want to give it a listen first, especially if you demand
high quality vox. They're a great live band, but his singing is an
acquired taste.
During the show, they played "Ride of the Valkyries" and "William
Tell Overture". :) Some of us commented about how cool those tunes
were; he said they'd like to put out an entire album of "cover songs"
like those! That would rule!
So check out the web page, especially you Japanese Jammers, and go
see a great 3-man prog band!
Back to lurk mode ...

Jan Hammer:
Yeah, he HAS been around for a long time. He's done a number of things,
including the movie and telvision themes, some solo work...even that record
he did with Neal Schon (anyone remember that thing?) He's really a superior
player and probably the master of the pitch wheel -- he's a very guitaristic
player, like Derek.
Singers:
Ray Alder's a great one live. Or, at least, he was the night (the ONE
night) I saw him. He was just awesome...tremendously powerful, hitting
notes, the full range. I was extremely impressed -- it was probably the
best live performance I'd seen by a rock vocalist. I always see Queensryche
at the end of tours, for some reason, when Geoff Tate's suffering from Ian
Anderson Disease, though he's still sounded good. On record, though, I'm
far more impressed with him than any other vocalist. Jon Anderson's good in
both environments, as well, and Greg Lake's voice is pretty strong live,
though I don't think it's been recorded with quite as much oomph.

I doubt that IME intentionally did that. Neither did FW. But DT spelled

How long does it take for the fan club shit to get to you? two weeks?
I was thinking earlier today about the power ballad. Listen to Another
Day, I had a few thoughts as to why it never made it. In my opinon and I
think I'm right, Silent Lucidity was the last power ballad to top the
charts(this is baring Metalica songs). Hear me out before you say I'm
wrong. I think it was one of two things,
1) Silent Lucidity was the best power ballad every written and therefore
they need not every show another video, or air another song in its
vain again.
----or----
2) Silent Lucidity was only the tip of the iceburg and MTV officals
relized that Progressive metal was going to overtake all forms of
music in general. Therefore by stopping Queensryche, they put a stop
to Prog-rock because they just thought Kurt Cobain (not to bust on
Kurt... he has made some awesome music) just looked cooler. And it's
not really about the music at all but about the image.
----------
3) Acually it could be a little of both of these but I just think MTV
didn't relized that Queensryche was a progressive band, and just see all
bands of the sort of shoots of Glam rock, and for all intensive purposes
just didn't want to support that image anymore.

Just wanted to inform you all that there is an online music service (FREE) at
"www.thedj.com". It is similar to DMX, in that you can select a genre of
music, and songs from that genre will play, without commercials, continuously.
The "progressive" and "great guitar" channels are sadly lacking right now, but
things should be picking up soon, as I am going to lend a large portion of my
CD collection to the guys who started this company (I know them, some are
ex-employees of my company).
So check it out if you wish and enjoy -- and remember that the content and
variety of "progressive" and "great guitar" should be improving..
later,

I have the album _Untold Passion_, which is Hammer and Neal Schon (of
Journey & Santana fame), who's no slouch on guitar himself. There is a lot
of guitar & guitar synth playing off Hammer's keys, and sometimes it is very
hard to tell who is playing what.
