       The upcoming EP is on its way! It contains the new track SANE and three
    versions of Future Breed Machine, The campfire version of FBM is a country
    version (!), renamed to Futile Bread Machine ... Jocke Skog of Clawfinger
    remixed the other version, it is said to be very hard, making "Aztec
    Two-step" sound like "tepid milk" (!) (Jens Kidaman, vox) and "cotton and
    toiletpaper" (!!) (Fredrik Thordendahl, lead guit) - anyways it's 8:40
    long, so I guess it's intense enough for most people. The third version is
    a live version. Release date is rumoured to be August 15th, at least in
    Sweden.=20

       This 44 minute piece with 29 index points is a must for all the
    die-hards waiting for another Meshuggah album! It includes performances by
    amongst others Swedish musicians Morgan =C5gren (drums), Mats =D6berg
    (synthesizers & church organ) (both involved with Frank Zappa) & Jonas
    Knutsson (distorted saxophones!!!)!

       Take care all!

    I'd say the Double Decker Taco, as it technically is part burrito. It's
    the only one to truly satisfy one's appetite. But now they have two
    tacos for $0.99, can't beat that...

    What's up Chairface? How's StLouis?

    My mom is in her 60's and she really likes Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Dream Theater. I've been listening to alot of non progressive music over the last year and she thinks I'm totally wimping out or something. :) :) :) She says, "Oh...Wallflowers, they're average. Nothing really special." "Tom Petty,... man that guy sounds old." :) :)

    I have a Journey album with Ansley Dunbar on Drums. There's another insane drummer to add to the list :) They do a great cover of a Beatles (uh, oh, he said the B-word!) tune on it.

    I just had an unsettling event occur...

    I'm one of those lucky people who can listen to music at work - even though I share an office with three people. While waiting for one of my office mates to return, an employee of the organization I work for was trying to make conversation with me (thereby ruining my attempts to program). The subject of what I was listening to - Marillion's "Clutching At Straws" - came up, with her asking who it was. I told her, and her response was, "Never heard of them". Okay, nothing odd there - then she says "Huh, sounds like Rush". This was during "Sugar Mice"! I know what my look had to be - total amazement, mouth open - so I said, "Really? I don't think so at all". A few minutes later, with her still waiting, and "White Russian" playing (I had it on shuffle), she says - "Yeah, definitely sounds like Rush".

    For those of you that don't know Marillion, they don't sound a THING like Rush. (Well, okay, they have keyboards)

    I just didn't see how the that comparison could be made, until I though about it for a minute. Your average rock station listener gets pummeled with 4/4, three chord, hooks - repeated - to - the - point - of - ridiculousness basic rock music, until one magic band comes on (at least once a day on 98Rock from Baltimore) - RUSH. Therefore, in the average listener's mind, subtlety in music = Rush. (I know it's over - simplified, but that's the basic idea)

    The point is this - US radio has degenerated the listening audience so far, that it's no wonder that bands like our beloved DT are generally looked upon with scorn - it's cool and accepted to be simplistic, musically. Listen to a rock radio station - while there are good bands, there's nowhere near the variety in style that there was even ten years ago!

    Comments, anyone? How has music become so totally fugazi? :)

    (Donning the flame - proof suit)

    Howdy -

    I don't think that Home Sweet Home was from the Milan '93 show, as somebody inferred. If I'm not mistaken, it is taken from the October 4, 1992 gig from Sparks in Long Island (thus the title). OAMOT was played consistently on the first leg of the I&W tour, and the quality is B or so because I think the audio was lifted off a video of the show. ("Lifting audio off of video".... hmmm, I made a funny! :-D ) The reason I think that this is true is because I have the boot video, as well as a 2-CD set called Live In Long Island, and the sound is IDENTICAL. I am pretty sure that Home Sweet Home is the same recording... but I could be wrong, since I haven't heard HSH yet. Hope this helps...

Thank you very much for your generosity, by the way >- this post was not intended to slag you in any way whatsoever, it's >just an observation.

    The Milan '93 show is the same as Lost in the Sky, if I remember correctly. Home Sweet Home (recorded in Long Island) is definitely NOT the same show. The instrumental in that show is also definitely different, although I might have the titles mixed up. Milan has Barfbag and HSH has Moon Bubbles, I think. The Milan show also has March of the Tyrant appended to OAMOT, whereas HSH does not.

    Like I said, I might have the titles of the instrumentals mixed up, but I know HSH is not from Milan. I also own Lost in the Sky which is a much better boot (setlist and quality), but OAMOT is still pretty hard to find these days, since both boots are hard to come by.

    I would advise any jammer to go with Lost in the Sky over Home Sweet Home any day. My intention is not to delude anyone into buying these CD copies off me. I just wanted some people to have the chance to have Home Sweet Home on disc, since I had these extras laying around. I think I was pretty up front about the contents/quality of the disc.

    If anyone has any specific questions about HSH, LitS, or non-Bahr DT boots in general, email me. Also, it appears that I have one copy of HSH left, so if you're interested, you're not too late.

    Later, KAI

    Malmsteen i would have to say would be at the bottom of my list. all he uses is one harmonic minor scale basically. wow he can play it fast. so can i. but im surely not the best guitarist in the world. before he would get my vote he would have to realize that if he wrote a solo that had not one single lightning speed run in it, people wouldnt think that he couldnt play fast. dont get me wrong i like yngwies music, but it really is all pretty much the same.

    Oh, great. I made similar comments just a few weeks ago about how the 'jam was doing much better, and then it promptly proceeded to go to shit. Now you've done it! 8^)

    quick update on my one and only full-fledged convert:

    Previously only a classical music fan, now has all of DT's albums, all of Rush's albums (!) and just bought 5 of Satch's albums. The downside is that he still has my Apsog, fire garden, III sides, and Holy Land.

    Hey Jammers.......I have been a huge Journey fan for years....I bought the recent CD when it was released in October 1996. But 9 months later, no tour at all......does anyone know why they chose to release an album and not tour it? Steve Perry came here solo (Michigan) in 1995. he played 2 of his own songs and the rest Journey songs.......

    Oh well....I hope someone out there knows
