Hello everyone!
Wow! You are not going to believe what I'm hearing on the radio as I'm going
through 2 weeks worth of "Jams" and "Mirrors": "Invisible Touch" by the
Genesis! It's the first time I'm actually listening to the original. For
those of you who don't know what the hell I'm talking about, think: - "Turn
it ooooon, turn it on, turn it on again" (ACOS - The Big Medley Pt.VI)
Does anyone know where one might get hold mp3's of other originals like
Journey's "Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin"? Throw some links my way on
skarre@dtifc.com, if you know of any.
Cheers!

I just went and listened back to the end of TSCO, and I must say that I
heard maybe ONE note that was a little bit flat, and since JM is doing all
sorts of slidey fretless stuff anyway, it's quickly corrected. But maybe
I'm just dumb.

section, at least - I don't know if it's just bass and piano or other stuff
too, I think there's a gospel singer in there)... THe problem I have with it
is that the bass is SO flat! Why would they not re-record something like
that, when it's extremely obvious that the instrument is out of tune? I
just couldn't believe something like that...

That's a shame, since I tend to believe that LTE1/2 has some of the most
inspired playing ever. But to each unto his own... I think the emphasis
was more on spontaneity than on pure technique...
This person continued with:

Not to continue to contradict you, sir, but I personally found _Surrender
to the Air_ quite *uninspired*. I won't claim to be well-versed in the
jazz arena, but Cecil Taylor exuded more inspiration than what I found on
SttA (not to mention that he was one heck of a pianist! ;-). Keep in
mind that I really dig Phish, though (seen them several times outside of
two NYE shows)...

Hrm, actually I have in mind a David Coverdale (Whitesnake vocalist) and
Jimmy Page side project (creatively titled Coverdale/Page) in the early
'90s that simply didn't go anywhere, either. However, several songs on
the album quite ably reproduced Robert Plant's style, however... ;-)
Now for a totally different artist: Tori Amos. There is an artist whose
virtuosity is unquestioned, whose creativity is boundless and whose
passion is nearly unbridled (I seem caught up in a theme of "virtuosity,
creativity and passion," eh? ;-). Each of her albums is a project in
understanding the psyche of a distraught person (there is a reason behind
it, as I'm sure all you fello Tori fans know), and each is articulate and
practically magical (excuse the superfluous adjectives ;-). I just
happened across my Chroma Key demo this morning and noticed that on "Turn
the Page" KevMo tips his hat to Tori; thoroughly impressed, I returned to
_Little Earthquakes_ and was once again blown away. How can I ignore such
lyrics as those in "Winter?"
Okay, time to quit, I'm rambling. ;-) Have a safe one folks...

Gustav Mahler's Symphony #3 gets my vote for emotional power. The first time I heard it (to anyone who's interested, it was the recording of Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic from Bernstein's second Mahler cycle. still the best recording of the work, IMHO.) I literally wept, it was that moving, particularly at the end of the Trombone solo in the first movement where the 'bones and horns come in and build to this massive peak which serves as tag of sorts to the solo; it is so incredibly magnificent and majestic, no verbal description can possibly do it justice. The fourth movement "O man, take heed!" is very powerful and moving as well. On the rock front, "Out of Mind" from Queensryche, "The Difference (in the Garden of St. Anne's on the Hill)" by King's X, "Three Days" by Jane's Addiction, and "Voices" by our beloved DT definitely rank high on the "make yer balls tingle" scale for me. Q2K was emotionally very powerful for me as well, the first listen culminating in a 26 hour fit of wretching, so powerful its impression was on me.

I dunno, to me LTE is more focused on technique as well. There are some incredibly moving parts on both albums, though, but to me they're like a cluster of small oasises (oases? oasii? Can you pluralize this?) in a very large desert. That's 90% of my problem with SFaM anymore. Once you're done being blown away with all of the intricacies of the first half of the album, it just turns into LTE3, imo. Now, the second half still kicks ass (sans TDoE).
> It's always cool to come up with hypothetical "supergroups" that have a > lot of our favorite musicains in them. I for one though, thank God that
I think one of the most successful prog supergroups ever formed would have to be Asia. Not only did they have a huge selling debut album, but it also kicked much ass as well.

Just a few random emotional tunes that get me every time:
Metallica "Fade To Black" Shadow Gallery "Ghost Of a Chance" Amorphis "Elegy" Queensryche "Someone Else" Fates Warning "Guardian" Guns N Roses "Estranged" Boston "A Man I'll Never Be" "Purple Rain" from Guitar Battle Iced Earth "A Question Of Heaven" Testament "Return To Serenity" Judas Priest "Beyond the Realms Of Death" Savatage "Believe" Saviour Machine "Legend I:I/The Lamb"
That's about all I could come up with off the top of my head. I'd better stop now before the list gets too big. ;-)

Yes you can hear the difference between cables! The better your system is the greater the differences. I am seriously into valve hi-fi amps and I believe anyone can tell the difference between makes of valves (say Western Electric 300B power valves versus Sovtek,) electrolytic vs. paper in oil capacitors etc.
I have posted with regards to the quality of main supply with regards to sound. have you ever noticed that your hi-fi sounds better late at night when the is less current drawn from the grids and thus the supply is cleaner?

I've been huge into Chroma Key since the day I downloaded the "Colorblind" mp3. But then again, I've always been die-hard Kevin Moore from the get-go. In fact, I think I could speak coherently given the chance to meet anyone on the planet--except for Kevin Moore. I've got a hard-core idolization problem when it comes to him :)
Anyway... I too really thought "Hell Mary" was annoying. However, one day while listening to it driving to work, it just caught my ear _just so_ and I started freaking out and changed the track. I've never, EVER been driven to that before. It just completely spooked me.
And I thought I was crazy for a bit, because it hasn't done that to me since. However, I played the disc at work on several occasions. This innocent 16 year old girl was left alone with the radio in the back room as I was off doing other things, and all the sudden she bolted up to the front of the store. "What in the HELL is that song about? The end of the world?" and I just kinda smiled and was like, "Yeah, I suppose." and she utterly REFUSED to go to the back room with that song on.
Ever since that day, it's one of my favorite tracks. I keep trying to re-create the eerieness of it with other people, but it hasn't worked in a controlled setting. However, during my time of pushing Kevin Moore on people, I've won many converts :)
BTW... have you seen the Chroma Key t-shirt they're hocking? It's morbidly rad :) My friends have all commented on its twisted coolness.
