I haven't heard Uneven, but I think you haven't heard the real band if you
haven't heard Steps and, even more, A Sense of Change. ASOC, is a
masterpiece, something that can't be described in words, way ahead of its
time and really original. The line-up in U and S is quite different,
including the change of vocalist. Jogi Kaiser, who appears in ASOC, doesn't
sing in U, S or their first album Life Cycle. BTW, Jogi is wonderful.
DTC: there's a song in ASOC named Change of Seasons :-)

Yep, it IS really good! My point though was that I'm suprised I didn't
see any posts mentioning that the thing was released (or posts earlier
saying that it would be out soon).

Okay everyone: in an effort to raise money to help finance my move back to L.A., I'm putting my entire rare DT collection up for sale.

I don't remember whether it was mentioned here or not (I do remember it being mentioned on Freaks), but there's plenty of talk about it on the Spock's Beard mailing list. :o)

Of course it's a boot. I wouldn't ask for a cdr of a legit cd! :) It's the lastest from Open All Night records. I just heard from them that they still have some left so I'll probably order it from them, but the offer's still open. Trevor

i only recently discovered them, just got "The Light" after basically wearing out my copy of "Kindness of Strangers" and it is quite amazing :)
There is far too much good stuff to get, I'm gonna go broke buying all these CDs...

Hi jammers I don't know exactly why this thread has started or what's the purpose but if the wanted thing is professional digital recording with your PC then definitely you need a large hard disk drive (9G would be great) and a professional sound card like Yamaha SW1000XG (http://www.xgfactory.com/) with which you can play and record straight to the hard drive (among many other things) with no other hardware interfering. It's a little expencive though something like 850$. And of course you'll need a CDR for storing your recordings and freeing up space to your HDD.
As far as Watchtower, they are incredible. You have to listen to it, to believe what these guys are playing. For many people they are the pioneers in Progressive Metal, the root of the evil. It's just insane. Just pick up "Control And Resistance" and then come back and tell us what you think.
That's all folks Bye and see ya around Mike Z.

Hey, first off I want to thank everyone that responded ot my recent question regarding Spector basses. I tried a couple out, and really like them a lot. I also have a couple questions about a couple more. I tried out a Peavey Cirrus and a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass. Both were real nice, too. At the moment, it's a toss up between the three, so if anyone could give me opinions, reviews, etc. I'd appreciate it since I know almost nothing about the Peavey Cirrus (other than it looks good and plays nice), and the particulars of the Geddy Lee bass (I did like that one better than most Fender basses I've played on before, but I'm not sure about what makes it especially unique from other ones). Thanks.

Hi jammerz !
Damn...I will kill to get that bootleg.... But I live outside US. What a dilemma. BTW, I just picked Platypus last week. :( It really isn'n what I've been expected from Derek & John. It's Hard Rock rather than prog. Well... what can I say, I'll keep tryin' it Any recommended disc from Spock's Beard ?

Imagine Spock (with a beard, of course) taking a massive, smelly, hairy dump on a weak, cowering platypus.
Got that image in your head??? .... Good!
Now imagine Spock getting up, turning around...and kicking the fucking platypus a good 15 feet into a tar pit. That's the best example I can come up with to compare SB's "Day for Night" to the Platypus record.

Hi!
There is a new mp3 file of the song "Don't stop me now" (Queen) that we played on our acoustic tour in France in late February. Have a look at the "Samples" section of our site at http://www.free-minded.de/
This mp3 file will be online for one week and then I will upload another one. I plan on doing this for 8 of the songs that we played on our acoustic tour.
Please keep in mind that those files are only kinda bootlegs... even though the sound is quite good. :)
Have fun with it.
Cheers
Bernd

J.R.S. - Wings of Gold USA Rating: * * * * 1997 MOONCHILD Time: 48:52 minutes
Jeffrey Ryan Smoots: vocals, guitar, bass, keyboard David Beardsley: Percussion
Both Jeffrey and David are both progressive rock fans, but on this album they are trying to do more straightforward pop and hard rock. The music is rather commercial, yet musically skilled, with rather good vocals. I would call it melodic guitar oriented progressive metal with neo-classical influences.
The music is a mix between Yngwie Malmsteen, Queensryche, Dream Theater and Rush. The difference between J.R.S. and the aforementioned groups, are that J.R.S. don't show off as much.
The opening neo-classical track "Intro" would appeal to fans of Yngwie Malmsteen. "Living" is the best track and it's got a Prog Metal touch to it. The track "Homeland" could have been a track written by Rush with a typical Rush guitar riff.
This is a very good album that won't leave you disappointed.
