Stop it, you guys (That means you: Schnipp and Mike Kramer)! Those who are so
lucky that they have actually already heard the new album, stop posting comments
on the jam. I won't say that this has ruined my life but it's a difference
whether you know a song title and the track listing or whether somebody gives his
judgement on the new album. Use Michael Kizer's discussion forum (thanks,
Michael) if you're so eager to discuss it but do us all a favor and keep this
kind of stuff away from the jam.
Well, at least you put SPOILER in the subject.

I'm having trouble seeing how you can LOVE beware of darkness but not be
thrilled with Kindness of Strangers. KoS is one of my favorite albums of all
time. I was certainly not thrilled with day for night. It was filled with
ideas that could have been good songs but never really fell into place. Thats
just my opinion though. (I do like the first three tracks though).
On another Beard note (Sorry if this has been discussed before, ive been out
of the jam for about a month) is anyone geting Neal Morse's solo album? Id
like to hear some reactions before I get it.

Yeah, this stuff sounds pretty different all right. Get the demo CD, if
you can. Great shit, lots of chops and all that. The bassist on the
demo is pretty awesome too (I guess he's the guy who replaced Miller for
some shows on SX's tour). 'Course, Malone's no slouch either, hehe.
Definitely looking forward to this CD.

Well, I'd have to say that DfN is more similar to KoS than the first two
albums. However, maybe you need to give Kindness more of a chance

I've got an album with Jonas Hellborg, monster-shredder Shawn Lane and Jeff
Sipe called Temporal Analogues of Paradise, or something like that.
Enjoyable stuff - a live recording featuring two 30 minute improvs.
They've played some great gigs here in Stockholm, last time with Anders
Johansson (he's in Hammerfall now, right?) on drums. Shawn looked as he was
on his way down, though. I was afraid he might be doing heroin or something
else. Someone please tell me it's not so.
(On the topic of heroin: Can anyone confirm that Pat Dubar, singer with
Mindfunk, has really OD:d and died? Tragic shit! For Mindfunk, check out
http://www.d.kth.se/~d94-mry/mf/mindfunk.html)
Anyway, Jeff Sipe played with Aquarium Rescue Unit. What are they like?

They're somewhat similar in that they both have some very catchy tunes on
them, but I like DFN much more than KoS. KoS is my least-favorite by them.
Note that it's still a great album, just not as great as the other four. I
like KoS, but there are at least three songs I just can't get into (tracks 3,
6, and 7). I like everything on DFN, namely The Healing Colors of Sound
(tracks 8-13).

Hey jammers,
I'm getting frustrated... It seems I will always be a few days late for DT
shows... Grrrrr.
I will be in Paris the day after they play at Elysee Montmarte, and also
will be in Germany a few days after they play some of the dates. Then, as I
return to Canada, I think I may just miss it again in Toronto. I remember
someone posting a few Canadian dates ... Does anyone remember what they
were? I think they were at the beginning of December. Any help would be
appreciated.

Hey everyone,
Here's a recent post of mine to alt.music.dream-theater, and while the
beginning doesn't really apply to any topics of conversation, it's my way
of segueing into this whole talk about spoilers, respect, and the "DT
Police". I thought it would be worthwhile to post here as well.

Marlenus,
This might be a long reply, but I ask that you read through it because
it is a worthwhile read. (As for the rest of you out there, you should
read on as well, because this email applies to both the people who want
to discuss the new album and for those who don't want to discuss it.)
Let me clarify a few things for you:
Yes, I did kick/ban you from #ytsejam because you were annoying the
hell out of over 2/3 of the channel by "singing" the lyrics to the new
album publically in the channel, even though many people had asked you
to stop because they would like to be completely surprised by the
album.
I didn't kick/ban you because of direct band orders or what not. I
kick/banned you because many of the people in #ytsejam who don't have
the album or no nothing about it want to be totally surprised until the
album's release date. But, let's face it, there are also plenty of
people who don't care to be surprised --- once the album is being
distributed by the record company via promos, it's out there, right?
I'm totally in the same boat as you about getting my hands on promos
before the actual release date because I love hearing the music before
it's official for stores to sell it. However, the difference between
you and I in having the new Dream Theater album is that I'm doing my
best to respect _OTHERS'_ wishes to not know about any details until
October 26th, when everyone can have the opportunity to purchase the
album.
(The only way I'm respecting the band's wish to maintain this veil of
secrecy is by not posting information about the new album to
http://dreamtheater.mit.edu/ --- you don't see me sending nasty emails
or banning people from #ytsejam because of band orders, and I feel bad
that the people who have to help maintain this veil of secrecy, like
Itchy and Skadz, get so much shit, because they are good people at
heart and they do mean well. They are just trying to help the band
out...they aren't doing it because they want to.)
Anyways, back to what I was saying...
I have no problem with you transcribing lyrics and posting them on your
site, nor do I have a problem with you distributing the MP3s to people
who would like to hear the material. Hell, I even helped Polo fix some
of the mistakes in your lyrics. But, when people had repeatedly asked
you to shut up and stop "singing" the lyrics to the new album on
#ytsejam, that's when I stepped in and kick/banned you. You weren't
being very respectful to others in the room.
If you can't see why people are trying to dodge details about the new
album, let me try to relate their feelings to you in another way,
because I can understand what they are going through...
One weekend this summer, I missed out on seeing The Sixth Sense with
all my buddies, and when I was hanging out with them the next weekend,
they started talking about the movie. I kindly asked for them to stop
talking about it, or at least to not talk about things that would
completely ruin the movie for me. (And if you've seen The Sixth Sense,
you know you can ruin for anyone by revealing one detail.) So anyways,
my buddies went on talking about the movie (which at first was cool
with me), like the various apparitions that approached the little boy
and what not. No big deal, right? Then, one of my friends said, "OH
YEAH, BUT I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT AT THE END, XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX."
And, _that_ took away ALL my enthusiasm I developed inside my head
about the movie's mystery. Sure, I did end up seeing the movie, but I
was watching it in the mind state I would have if I had already seen
the movie, not going into it with an open/unjaded mind. It sucked! I
couldn't really experience the same thing they did when they saw it for
the first time.
Now, you might be saying to yourself, yeah, but that's a movie, this is
a CD. I don't think it's any different really. This next Dream
Theater album has a hook, just like The 6th Sense has a hook to it, and
I don't want anyone to be the person who blows it for someone else who
just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. My main
motivation towards kick/banning you lies solely in the aforementioned
reasoning. I don't think you are a bad person or an asshole or
anything. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've met you at a previous DT show
in the Boston area and thought you were a cool guy.
Now, about the K-lining, I did not go running to Skadz saying, "Hey, K-
line Marlenus, K-line Marlenus". He asked me why you were on the ban
list in the first place, and before I even told him, he asked, "Was he
saying shit in the channel about the new album again?" I replied yes
to that question and that, my friend, is how you got K-lined. I did
not write to Skadz to get you K-lined; I was planning on removing the
ban the following night because in the past you have been a civil
person on #ytsejam. It was just that one night I thought you were
being a _tad_ disrespectful. If you promise not to disrespect the fans
in the room who are trying to avoid all sorts of spoiling, then I'll
put in a request to Skadz to remove the K-line because things are
sorted out. Or, heck, just email him yourself, and if you wanna get
back on, I'm sure he'll be cool with it.
As for the rest of you people discussing the new album in this
newsgroup, I hope you can see why some fans are vehemently against any
details being posted. Some of these fans just happen to read the wrong
message because it's not appropriate labeled "SPOILER". And, if you
are a fan who doesn't want to read anything about the new album, then
don't read a message appropriately labeled "SPOILER"!!! So, all I ask
is that if you are going to talk about some of the details, label your
message APPROPRIATELY. Is that too much to ask?
Sure, information is flying around about the album, and you can't try
to cease all communication about the new album from happening. But,
you can try to do your best to keep others from spoiling for innocent
fans. At the same time, while I do applaud the efforts of Mark Bredius
in trying to limit the amount of information out there, I think that he
needs to concentrate his efforts on very public forums, places on the
net a lot of people visit. I don't agree with him trying to eliminate
forums about the new album for fans who knowingly head to those forums.
All I'm saying is that if people want to open up forums to talk about
the album or listen to the album and they can do it in a place where
others won't knowingly end up at these sites, then let them be!!!
I think in the end, all the anger and resentment stems from the fact
that in very public forums, there are some people who happen to
overlook respect for everyone in the forum. But, if people want to do
something which respects everyone in the forum, like Marlenus setting
up his lyrics on his private server so those who have the album in Mp3
format can read them or some fan playing the new album over a net
broadcast, and those innocent fans aren't affected, then trying to stop
them from doing so is also intruding their rights to speak freely.
-Bogie
PS - Now, Marlenus, if you STILL have a problem with me, feel free to
trot on down to 532 Beacon Street (you can get off at the Kenmore T-
stop), and I'll be happy to "step away from behind the keyboard" and K-
line your ass from Boston, bizotch. Or, if you would like to try
picking a fight with me at a DT concert, so a crowd of people can see
me whoop your ass, that's cool with me too. :P I hope you know that
I'd be the last person to hide behind a keyboard in order to act
tough. There are plenty of people at MIT and all over this world who
may act that way because they've been picked on by others in the real
world, but I certainly am not one of them!

Well...
I've carefully listened at it....
It's amazing, but maybe too epic... it really resembles to Shadow Gallery's
Tyranny. I loved that album but I never thought DT could take that way!
Another change of direction!

Subject: How does one go about getting the new cd ahead of time?
Message-ID: <c5096714.25285118@aol.com>
Hi yall,
I thought I'd ask this to the jam because the jammers, in some mysterious
way, always seem to know everything about everything. And I know that it is
not an uncommon practice to get the cd way, way before the official release
date. So can anyone tell me how its done?
In case I need to justify myself, I'll mention that I need to have the cd
sooner than the 26th because I want to write about it in my school newspaper.
If I get it on the 26th, I won't have enough time to do a fair review for
the October issue, and the cd wouldn't be timely enough to include in the
November issue.
Thanks! I love you all!
Jenny

Hey Chris,
I know this is like offering a recovering alcoholic a sniff of the bottle cap...
If you go to one of my sub pages where I have my sub woofer project illustrated,
http://www.isd.net/astrosch/project.html
you can clearly see my Revox A77 the 7th picture. :)
I have the Mk IV, it's the newest of the A77 series. Mine has the professional
studio Dolby option installed. When I bought my machine, I also bought the 30'
cabled remote, the solid aluminum pro NAB adapters, and the pulley kits that
allows the machine to operate at: 30 & 15 IPS (inches per second) with one
pulley set, 7 1/2 & 3 3/4 IPS with another. Just for shits and giggles I also
have the low speed kit that allows the machine to record for 25 hours on one
tape. Police dispatch centers commonly use that machine to document radio
traffic so the parts were fairly cheap and readily available.
If you do decide to locate and purchase one of these machines, I warn you in
advance: These machines are expensive to maintain. An alignment costs about
$300.00. Head & guide replacement is close to a grand. Unless you put cubic
hours on the machine, you shouldn't need to replace the heads. The motors
will NEVER die! I've seen wash machines with smaller motors. The electric
reel brakes are very reliable, the only thing that may ever need to be replaced
is the brake linings ever 10,000 hours or so, and they're cheap. The only things
I've had to replace on mine is the panel lamps, and the end-of-tape detector
lamp. The EOT lamp was about $12.00. The panel lamps are about $6.00 each.
The bottom line: The Revox A77 is the finest 1/4" machine money can buy.
It's the single most respected machine by both the recording industry, and
the audiophile crowd. I will personally give an honorable mention to the
Tandberg TD 20A, another fine machine I almost bought but decided to
save a little longer and go for the gold. BTW, I've had my A77 since 1983 and
It's STILL the reigning king of the analog world. It does pay to go hi-end because
obsolescence is F A R down the road for gear that sets standards far beyond
what most manufacturers are willing to produce.
