> In the immortal words of one Mr. Rodney King: "Can't we all just get
along?"
Before I leave for two weeks, I'd just like to declare that Rodney King never
said those words. He was misquoted within a week after that little televised
"hello I'm not dead" speech, and soon t-shirts were popping up everywhere with
the wrong phrase. He was stuttering far too much for anything so concise or
perfect to come out of his mouth. He DID manage to say "it's just not right" a
few times in a row.

Two CD's came in today...
Ocean Machine: Biomech
Superior: Younique
First: Ocean Machine: Biomech
First opinion: I went through it as soon as it came in, listened to the
whole damn thing without interuption while drawing shitlines in CAD to the
wall of sound so thick I could eat it with a fork. Just layers of sound.
The whole damn album is so ambient you can just lose yourself in the audio
stream thal oozes out of your headphones, squeezing through you eardrum to
tickle your cochlea. Devin doesn't even really go off on the vocals of this
one. He still screams a bit, but it blends in with the music so well, you
don't even notice. To me, this sounds like the Pink Floyd album of the 90's
with Devin on vocals. It's just so incredibly orchestrated and so ambient
that one just gets stoned while listening. Ordering information can be
found at http://members.home.net/hevydevy You have to snail mail order it,
and it took about three weeks for the turnaround, but it was well worth the
wait.
Second: Superior: Younique
What the fuck is this shit!?!? I order the album expecting it to be that
English Brit-pop band we all know and love and I get some mockery of an
album by some German cheesemetal band?!?!? (laughs as he sees you reach for
the "FLAME NOW" button. Sorry Bernd, I just heard you blood pressure go up
50 points) :)
Actually, I was incredibly impressed with this one, although Ocean Machine
has been holding it out of my CD player since its first run. I wasn't sure
if Bernd and co. would be able to surmount Behind, but apparently
indeedy they did, utilizing an album title that is pun-free as well. :)
Opening up to a prog meets industrial sound, I was hooked from the
beginning, grumbling and cursing at those asshole coworkers that kept
intruding on my serenity. This album runs the gambit of heavy, hard-driven
prog, to swingy/bluesey Sting style, to lusciously soothing piano ballads.
A definite must for anyone who loves diversity, but a possible no go for
anyone who is looking simply for another hard-edged metal album. Great job,
Bernd! I should've ordered it sooner. hehehe. I got mine from
http://www.knightsoftheround.com/ for $15 and it even came with a happy
autographed photo of the band. Woo!
BTW, Bernd, what kind of Korg is Michael Muller using? I swear I've
recognized a couple of X3 sounds off of both albums, but Korgs often share
sounds... :) Private mail for that one please. :) Could it be that
Superior's keyboard player worships me? BOW DOWN BEFORE THE ONE YOU SERVE!
RAHHHH!!!!

Hey dudes! So, I just received the Xmas '98 CD. I must say that if the 2 previous ones are half as good, then they're worth having, 'cause this one's to kill for. Thanks to whoever is taking care of the DTIFC in England, because I just sent my money a few weeks ago, and I already received my birthday card, signed and all (a copy), a pin, the CD, the current issue of the Images and Words Magazine, etc. And to you gringoes who're afraid you're going to lose your money in the process of sending your cash overseas: It's a risk worth taking, believe me. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't received the CD, but when you do get it, and see the contents and the way it's been put together, you're just going to love it! And BTW, I'm having my head checked pretty soon, if ya know what I mean! :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, I had the chance to see Bruce Kulick again here in Sydney. He played a few songs from Kiss and Union, and even played a song that's supposed to go in a solo album (his first). He's very talented indeed. As before, he was really nice to everyone, taking time to sign everything and anything, posing with everyone who wanted to have a picture taken with him and answering our questions. He said he's trying to get Union to play here next year! Great. And there's a rumour that Deep Purple are coming here too. Things are getting better!
See you later, and if I don't get to write again, have a happy xmas, ya big geese! And happy b-day to me (in 3 days!) What am I going to get? CD's I hope! 8?*****

Hmmm. Leg sleeves? One of your legs was imported from some poor European bloke, while the other is homegrown? And you wear shirts on the lower half of your body? What a peculiar concept.
Korg experienced some weird temporal flux when he watched: >that last episode of MST3K (Jack Frost)...
Wow, they've already reviewed that new Michael Keaton flick? They're fast! Maybe next week they'll do that "Meet Joe Black" flick (not Flicka, damn horses).

KICK ASS!! I got the Christmas CD today. I don't have it in front of me, but it has 12 tracks from the Paris(?) show, so if you put it with OiaL you have almost the whole show. Some songs are: Eve LSoaD Hey You (Floyd) Mean Streets (VH) Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton) To Live Forever Speak to Me and 5 more. Somebody probably listed them by now, but I didn't get a digest today, so whatever. Trevor

greetings, jammers!
i have a (NDTC) question for anyone that might be able to help...i've been looking for a CD copy of a movie soundtrack that i believe may be out of print...the movie is a John Carpenter flick from the late 80's called 'Prince of Darkness'. does anyone know where i can find this? please e-mail me privately...
also (transportation permitting), i should be at ALL 5 area shows (a little extreme, perhaps, but i wasn't doing much else over the holiday, so...). short, brown hair...5' 7" or so...various and sundry DT t-shirts from past tours (inc. my I&W shirt from around '93...answers to mike or 'E-man'...
see y'all there (or, if not, have a happy holiday)!!

Got the Xmas CD today in the mail. Man is it good stuff. Finally the silent man electric version in awesome quality :) Anyway, the CD rocks and was well worth the 18 bucks or however much the fan club subscription cost. Thanks Mike and others!
Note to other mike (aka syrinx) - I too will be attending the Philly show, so I'll make sure that when I get a second (but no more) I'll stop over and say hi! Anyone else going, make sure you say hi to the kid wearing either a top hat or a green hat with a big white S on it. The top hat might be in the way of others, so I might not wear it...but I love it! Alrighty! I'll be seeing some of you folks in a few days!
Scott.

>Hey people, I just need some music suggestions: > Ive been getting into some death metal lately, and I wanted some input on >some good bands to get into. So far, I really dig: > >Cynic >Death >Enchantment<---these guys rule! >
Well as Rogerio already suggested Opeth, In Flames, dark tranq,....a few of my other favourites are:
At The Gates - Slaughter of the soul, Terminal Spirit Disease Arch Enemy - Stigmata Carcass - Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious (no joke!), Heartwork Vader - The Ultimate Incantation Napalm Death - Utopia Banished Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick (this is fast!) Obituary - Cause of Death (this is not fast!)
As for Emperor I believe their new album 'Come all Ye men' or something will be more of a death metal album than the previous black metal style releases...
I'm keen to find out about Watchtower - any comments welcomed! : )
Also a band called Nile have an album called Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka or something - that is supposed to be excellent but I haven't heard it...
>KorgX3's Hella Props of the Year are officially awarded to Paul Dyer! Holy >shit! Now I've just gotta find a copy. :D My search is over at long last. >Now I've gotta find out what to do with my free time (not thyme, damn >homonyms).
I believe the album you are searching for is called 'Born Again Piss Tank'.... I'll keep my eye out for a copy here in oz if you like....
Cheers

I haven't got mine yet, but looks like the same songs that are on my boot of the Rotterdam Fan Club show :)
