    Hi folks,
    my name is Choon-Kang.
    Maybe you remember my Neverending Dreams Stories.
    I will be travelling the US to see DT in Maine, Mass, CT and Long Island.
    Who is there from the Jamfamily and would like to meet?
    I will spend a week in NY afterwards, vacational purposes.

    Cheers

    Hi Jamers,
    the show in Portland, Maine on August 4th has apparently been cancelled.
    I got this from a local fan who wanted to attend this concert, but was
    told so even he had already bought a tickets some weeks prior!!!

            ...and, as everone knows, Drama is one of my favourite albums of
    all time. Yes, it's the only album w/out Jon Anderson - but Trevor Horn
    does a VERY good job at handling the vocals. The 3 songs on the album
    that *really* stand out are Machine Messiah, Does It Really Happen? and
    Tempus Fugit.

            Definatly a classic album that's been overlooked by many of the
    Yes community. Keep in mind also that Geoff and Steve formed Asia after
    this lineup broke up, so if you dig the early Asia material, you'll REALLY
    love this album.

    Just wanted to pass the word along:

            Friday night (July 3rd), 3 bands are playing in Fort Washington,
    Pa (A suburb of Philly). They are: The Dark Ether Project, Always
    Almost (ex-Echolyn), and Anekdoten. What's cool about this show - since
    Anekdoten's from Sweden, they're only playing 2 gigs in the COUNTRY! If
    you don't know "what they sound like" here's a clue: Take King Crimson
    (Red era) and Nirvana. Put them in a blender. Add a eigth of crack.
    Blend nicely. :) That's Anekdoten.
            
            The price? 15 bucks - and the show starts promptly at 7pm.

            Anyway, D-Man is making the trip up from Williamsburg for the
    show, so IF people from the Philly (or surrounding) areas wanna go and
    hang out, drop me an email. I'm sure we can set something up (espically
    if you need directions).

            I hope to see some of you on Friday!

    Hey, here's a question:

    For the last two weeks some of us have been operating under the assumption
    that tickets for the DT/DP/ELP show on 8/12 in Camden, NJ go on sale on
    their respective Saturdays, and for the past two weeks TicketMasturbators
    say, "we have no listing for that event/day/whatever."

    Does anyone know, REALLY, when the tickets for the Camden show go on sale?

    Thanks,

    Steve Z

    I must agree with this. Definitely not prog, but very very cool.
    Fave tracks are the Chagall Geuvara tune "Tale of the Twister" and
    Henry Rollins/Bad Brains cover of "Kick Out the Jams." :)
    I found a copy of I&W on CD for $5 the othyer day at a local used
    store. Might need to pick that up to replace my recently skipping
    copy.
    Is ther esomewhere I could get details about Powermad? I want to go,
    but don't know much about it (other than the pretty kickass sounding
    lineup :).

    I just wanted to echo the comments I have been hearing about this Savatage
    CD from Open All Night Records. The sound quality is pretty good with
    minimal crowd noise, especially the bonus tracks from a Japanese DWD show!
    The turn-around time on this CD was incredible, especially considering that
    they are located in France and I am in Texas! It took about two weeks
    turn-around from when I sent them money to when i recieved the CD. That's
    pretty incredible considering the alternatives out there. And one other
    thing, their artwork is the best I have ever seen on a boot CD! The front
    cover looks like it could be an official release. This CD is a must buy for
    any good Savatage fan!

    Ryan,

            If you like most of the songs from that Yes Highlights CD
    then it would probably be hard for you to go wrong on choosing a
    CD. Nonetheless, I'll give you my opinions on where you should
    start:

            - For "classic" Yes, I'd recommend "Close to the Edge",
            "Fragile" and "The Yes Album". I found it harder to
            get into "Relayer" and "Tales From Topographic Oceans"
            because they're less melodic and TFTO tends to wander
            too much for my taste.

            - "Going for the One" is good. It's where Yes starts
            changing their style with the songs being a bit more
            condensed. "Awaken" is a wonderful prog song from that CD.
            I'd recommend waiting on "Tormato" and "Drama" until
            you've heard some of the other classic Yes albums.
            Those two are divergent from the earlier style.

            - For "mid-period" Yes, which is more pop oriented, I'd
            recommend 90125. I really like that album though many
            "classic" Yes fans don't. "Big Generator", "Union" and
            "Talk" are OK, but I don't enjoy them as much.

            - I really like both Keys to Ascension albums, but of course
            you can get most of the live tracks on the "classic" Yes
            albums. The studio tracks from both of those CDs are quite
            good and reminiscent of "classic" Yes.

            - I don't like "Open Your Eyes" (their newest CD)
            unfortunately so I can't recommend it.
            

            Good luck and let us know what you end up getting!

                                    Steve

    Message-ID: <199806291606.MAA14958@clipper.hq.tis.com>

            Thanks to those of you who've been giving reviews of the
    Explorer's Club "Age of Impact" CD. You've really whet my appetite --
    I'm a fan of Magellan so I've been looking forward to this one for
    a while.
            I have two questions for you:

            1) How did you get the CD? Did you get a promo copy or did
            you order it from Magna Carta directly? If the latter, how
            did you order it?

            2) While everyone's been reviewing the prog aspects of the
            music, I've yet to see mention of the vocals. The vocals
            usually end up making or breaking a CD for me. So, what did
            you think of them? Were they powerful? Melodic? Are there
            many harmonies?

            Thanks for any info! :)

                                    Steve

    If we in the San Francisco Bay area are lucky, maybe Enchant will put on a show or two in the near future. (They're from the Concord area, I think.) I managed to pick up a couple of copies of "Time Lost" last summer for $15 a piece at their shows. Maybe Dali's Dilemma and Enchant will play some local shows together ? :)

    Well I recently received my 3000th jam so I thought this would be a fitting time to end my run with the jam. I'm moving to Toronto for a couple years starting on Wednesday and I won't have net access while there. Anyway, thanks to everyone on the list and I'll see everyone in a couple years. Meanwhile do yourself a favor and go buy some Storyhill. Ask Korgx3 for more information. :)

    >Thorin

    Well, my answer was Queensryche. But I was talking strictly about the popularization of the term "prog metal". I did mention Rush as an influence, and I agree that that Rush is the single biggest originator (and influence) for "prog metal". Damn, Rush influenced everyone. The pm term was just never used back then. At that time, "prog rock" was Camel, ELP, etc. Rush was "hard rock", and also fell under the term "metal". Now that "prog metal" is popular, they certainly WOULD have fallen into that category too. But they have lost the "metal" since then...(Ok, I admit it, "metal" is such a broad category that almost anyone can fall into it.)
