    I have bought some days ago a cd from a band called Empty
    tremors.......(italians).
    Hey...they are very cool,my favourite prog's band after DT!!!!!!
    The title of the album is Apocolokyntosys.
    I think that they have a great personality....not copy DT or FW.....very
    melodic.....good voice.....great changes of time.....

    The second is a cd from Pictures....a Musea production...is good,the name
    of the cd is Painting the blue.....

    After downloading/streaming to all but two of the new songs, this is a
    GREAT new CD !! Jammers being a really picky bunch may try to place
    this in-between this DT album and that DT album, etc., but guess what ??
     Being in-between I&W and Awake (for example) is a great place to be !!
    It may or may not be their best, but that discussion should be left for
    at least a few months. PS, ToT and LitS are really DT at the top of
    their game. And from my crummy speakers on the PC I dont think that I
    hear any annoying drum-trigger sound.

    My nit picks (with qualifier that I dont care about lyrics): Indeed it
    is hard to believe that WAYN was not included. Without having to
    identify which song it should have displaced, my least favorites at the
    moment are: AL, TAMP and YNM. And, I really wish that they hadn't
    chopped up BMS because I consider HK to be a bit out of place and a bit
    drawn out on its own.

    A hearty dose of congratulations (and some disgusting Jagermeister to
    the drummer) for avoiding two words on the new CD = SELL and OUT. Even
    with KS at the helm. I'm sure MP could kick his arse. Ugh, my bad.
    Being from Massachusetts, I dont want to hear about Helms ......

    There can be some lively disagreement here and there but lets face it,
    almost no one here has uttered or even implied those nasty viscous
    words. In this day and age, this is unbelievable. There should be
    hefty praise emanating from the jam and I dont really see it to the
    degree that I had expected.

    Later,
    Mark Metzger
    mmetzger@bostech.com

    PS - Since I missed it, can anyone tell me how the Marillion show in
    Boston was ??

    PPS - Were there any new concert T-Shirt designs being sold at those
    South America shows ??

    Hi all,

    First, I'd like to know what is exactly Seven Wonders ?

    Is there anyone who can describe to me what sort of music is Enchant?

    I really love heavy prog and melodic music mixed, I love DT (of
    course!), Angra, Vanden Plas, The Gathering and I'd like to discover
    new bands (for me). I'd like something melodic, with clear voice (like
    bands mentionned). Can you tell me some bands like that?

    Another thing, I was the first who talked to JlB attitude. I don't
    want to start a fight between the Jammers but I just want to say that
    Jlb said cleary that he wants DT to become the new Pink Floyd.
    So look at the cover, listen to some music in FII, he is right. But I
    like Pink floyd, and I LOVE DT because it 's not Pink Floyd, It's
    completely different of all bands in the world.
    If I want to listen to something close to PF (pink floyd), I just
    listen PF!

    But I'm not against JlB, I just say he has changed his way to think.
    Why talking about Angra ' selling less records than DT, He's not a kid
    no? I thought the most important was to do their own music (without
    talking about Yes PF or Angra).
    I love DT and it's my favorite band forever as much as JlB is the best
    singer. Maybe I don't understand his words.

    Sorry for my 'Sort of' English langage.

    See you

    Actually the ideal would be to just mutter some incoherent words into the
    microphone...you know...not only improvise music but words as well. They
    could call the album "Imagining Words."

    Or better yet, how about being the first prog group to introduce the belch
    and fart as part of the prog arsenal?

    Wow, I can almost hear James hit that high belch right now.

    Or the best yet, have them make a 50 minute song about social chaos with
    nothing but "vulgar" words. I can see it now. Dream Theater's new album:
    Social Chaos -- I. Fuck II. Shit III. Asshole IV. Damn (this is the
    ballad) V. Hell (this is the uptempo number) VI. Potpourri (all the other
    "good" words thrown into a 10-minute slam-your-face-to-the-ground grove
    with James' first rap).

    I'll be first in line; how about you?

    I doubt very much if Sep 27th is the date for an aussie release of FII, why
    ?
    It's a Saturday, how many new albums get released on that day ?
    Answer ? None
    Brash's are one of those chain stores that I despise greatly and they
    wouldn't know if their ass's were on fire, they don't know shit about any
    music cept top forty crap, take it with a grain of salt, anything that you
    heard from them mate !
    Utopia Records in Sydney have told me that they will have the US import on
    sale on the 23rd, with all things being well and good.

    Hi All,
                  A question I have that I have been meaning to ask for a while
    now, I don't know if it has been asnswered before, so here goes. Am I
    right in saying that TLF was recorded during the I & W album sessions ?
    Since I got the 'Lie' CD single it has bugged my why the song wasn't
    included on I & W, I think it would fit perfectly in between 'Metropolis'
    and 'Under A Glass Moon', wadda you guys think ?

    Now I know we are supposed to be ignoring this guy, David are you really as
    stupid as your questions
    suggest you are ?
    OR are you taking the piss ?
    Please stop bugging the jam with your pathetic one line post's that are of
    no relevance to anyone with any sort of intelligence on this list.
    Read the FAQ, then read it again and again and maybe some of it will get
    through that thick skull of yours.
    You are without doubt the biggest idiot on the list and the most annoying
    by a country mile.

    Everyone else, sorry, but I couldn't bite my tongue any longer.

            Hi,

            It was *written* during I&W, but it was recorded during Awake
    sessions.

    Hmm. Last ytsejam was sorta useless. Is there some kind of contest to see who can cut down David Di Tivoli the most in a single post? If not, maybe some people should lighten the fuck up? I don't know if anyone else may be impressed by that rubbish, but I know I'm not. Let's stick to cutting down Dream Theater and every other band I love, instead of fighting with ytsejammers.

    Does anyone have concrete information, or a URL or ANYTHING about this show in Baltimore with 700 prog bands? I'd really like to go, but if there's no word on it, I'm not driving to Maryland.

    My band now has about 9 songs written. I'm in the process of arranging some parts, writing lyrics and solidifying the overall form of each tune, but this means we should have samples available shortly! Anyone interested in getting updates about the project, e-mail me. I won't spam about it anymore until it's all recorded!

    Take care!

    Greetings ye 'jamanoids...

    After I inquired about Jason Becker's site (formerly at www.guitarists.com), Ernesto quoth:

    >uh, that 'person' is Eddie Van Halen:) 5150 is his domain.

    Uh huh. That's why when I went to 5150.com for a bit more info (like the link suggested) I turned up the 5150 Communications website -- "web page design, web hosting, domain name registration, affordable rates".

    Now, I know that VH has been on something of a downswing lately, but I don't think Eddie needs to supplement his income by designing and hosting web pages. Or do you know something I don't, Ernesto?

    Tom Baddley remarked:

    > CDNow has a service that allows them to update you via Email upcoming and >recent releases. Supposedly, this is customized according to the type of >music that I like. Of course, there was no catagory for the type music I >listen to, so they send me the generic Pop/Alternative new releases. >Falling Into Infinity was not on there among all of the other September >releases (and they even had a new Jackson Browne CD listed...so they can't >possibly claim DT is too obscure).

    Try selecting Rock or Metal. FII was definitely listed on my update at least a week ago, maybe as long as three weeks ago.

    D-Man, I think we need to create a shelter for the few like us who haven't heard any of the new album yet. I'd rather be suprised by it, like you said.

    Anybody care to hazard a guess as to when we'll finally see Met pt. II on disc? Late next year sometime would be my guess....*sigh*

    One more thing: Mike Bahr (or anybody else who knows about CD burners) -- what's the going rate for a burner these days? I'm kind of interested in picking one up so I can start making a few compilation CD's (example: the "epic masterpiece" CD, with Shadow Gallery's "Ghostship," DT's "A Change of Seasons", Symphony X's "The Divine Wings of Tragedy", and Magellan's "Storms and Mutiny").

    Patiently awaiting next Tuesday (what a month! Sleeping Beauty this Tuesday, FII next Tuesday. What's next?)
