    I'm sorry, what was that? What have I been doing the past two days?
    Well, I'll tell you. I've been producing THE most realistic MIDI file of
    A Change of Seasons you'll ever hear. You know what? I suppose that DOES
    mean I have a ton of free time. But no more than you if all you've been
    doing is learning guitar (or, wait, you play bass, don't you?) parts ;)

    Which brings me to what I was going to post to the jam relatively soon
    anyway. I would like to enlist the help of all you guys who either have
    the extra time or just have fast bandwidth and can sacrifice a minute or
    three from your day.

    I am making a MIDI file of ACoS, as I stated above before, and in order to
    make it realistic, I have included a TON of controllers that I am not sure
    will work on sound cards other than mine. So what I'm asking is that
    anybody who would like to download the file may do so, but I would like
    anybody who has the time to make a recording of this MIDI file being
    played on your sound card (it's relatively easy, but I'll include
    instructions on my website if you need help) and upload an MP3 of that
    recording to my FTP server. For those of you with modems, it'd be a 4 meg
    file, which means a considerable amount of time to upload, but for those
    of you on higher-bandwidth connections it wouldn't take too much of your
    time to upload it.

    The files don't have to be ultra-high quality, because I don't need
    quality, so an MP3 encoded at 128 Kbps or even as low as 96 or 64 Kbps
    would be quite fine.

    Anybody who is willing to do this, it is MUCH appreciated. I would like
    anybody who wouldn't mind doing this for me to send me a private email,
    and if I get more than a few responses, I'll post a URL and my FTP server
    info at a later date (this will give me more time to finish The Crimson
    Sunrise, with which I am ALMOST completed). Thanks.

    In Brazil, and in other parts of the world I'd guess, the Freedom Call
    EP featured two tracks of the acoustic show, Angels Cry and Never

    Message-ID: <Pine.OSF.4.10.10001181931180.14836-100000@bluedevil.cc.fredonia.edu>

    Hey all, I was wondering if anyone can help me out. Looking at the tour
    dates, it looks like the closest DT are coming to western New York are the
    Cleveland and Pittsburgh shows. Being a college student in Fredonia, NY
    (45 mins south of Buffalo), I would very much like to attend one of these
    shows. :)

    So the question is: Is anyone from the western New York area going to
    either of those shows, and if so, would you be able to pick up a fellow
    jammer along the way ? For anyone's info, Fredonia is exit 59 off the New
    York State Thruway, ie I-90. If anyone from Buffalo, Rochester, or any
    other place in the area is going, and could possibly give me a lift, could
    you please email me privately ? I'm not yet sure that I would actually
    go, but I just wanna gauge what the chances are, ya know ? :)

    Thanks

    Yup, they played the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom in New Hampshire as a
    headliner as a one-of because the first date of the ELP tour in somewhere
    like Maine was cancelled. Indeed, some of the live footage of the new MP
    video was taken from there including an audience shot of me in my God Thing
    shirt (shit, I feel famous !!!!).

    However, they did "headline" the Christmastime shows in December 98 - five,
    I believe - in the Northeast USA so these were technically the last
    headlined shows of 98. I think some dude (we can call him "Rogie") owes me
    something from one of these shows but he is a *slacker* !!

    Sorry for offending those who are fans of the TLA.....I like it to....but for
    DT to pull of the "cinematic stage show" that I have heard rumors about, the
    TLA just won't cut it! I love the TLA as much as the next person. :)

    Someone posted some great web-sites featuring women vocalists in metal bands a
    few jams ago and I checked them out and ran across several I've never heard
    of, or have never yet heard. If you have any information (what they sound
    like, which album to start off with, etc.) please post away!

    The bands that I'm asking about are:
    * The 3rd and the Mortal
    * Dreams of Sanity
    * The Sins of Thy Beloved

    Thanks!

    P.S. CDNOW is offering a Japanese import of NIGHTWISH'S OCEANBORN with an
    extra live track (Nightquest). It's $32.99 and I wouldn't bother buying it,
    since on that website I mentioned, it talks about a new version of Oceanborn
    with THREE extra tracks on it! (Nightquest, A return to the Sea, and Sleeping
    Sun) This version isn't available at CDNOW, but if anybody can point us in the
    right direction of finding a copy of this limited edition CD, I'd appreciate
    it.

    P.P.S. Still waiting for a reasonably priced version of Lemur Voice's
    "Division" to be made available. *Sigh*

    Hi..... I need info, dates and band-booking contacts for any music
    festivals in the States during the summer that might accomodate a
    space-prog band with a substantial following. ProgDay, NEARFest,
    Strange Daze, Burning Man (no, nevermind, they don't "do" bands any
    more)..... Unfortunately I suppose PowerMad wouldn't be
    appropriate... :)

    Please email me off-list, since I'm basically skimming the Ytsejam

    I can tell you a little bit about Dreams of Sanity. I have to thank Neil for pointing them out to me. They have a couple of albums and I have them both. "Komodia" is a concept album based on Dante's Divine Comedy. It features TWO female lead vocalists and is a bit heavier than their second album. Lots-o-keys, too! Which, IMO, is a good thing! Well, for the second album "Masquerade" (based on The Phantom of the Opera), they drop to just one singer but she does a lot of overdubs, so the same effect is achieved. I like this one better, but it's not as heavy and has even MORE keys. And not really any guitar solos to speak of, other than one kick-ass solo in Masquerade Part I. Also on this album they do a kick-ass cover of Andrew Lloyd Weber's "The Phantom of the Opera" with Tilo Wolff of Lacrimosa (who also kick much ass) taking the part of the Phantom. I would highly recommend both these discs but be forewarned that "Masquerade" doesn't have a lot of balls-and-chunk to it. Both are available in the States through Alta Mira: http://www.calldownthethunder.com/index.htm at $13 each. Not a bad deal!

    Korgie, you're a real gentleman (!) Damn, you mean someone else thinks about that too? Well, not JP getting killed, obviously. But when they go to a gig, they learn the likely set, just in case the band suddenly need a spare guitarist? I thought it was just me with delusions of glory!

    Those 3 Angra acoustic tracks have been duplicated on many different releases, Angra's record company is very good at releasing the same shit over and over again. To my knowledge the same 3 songs in question have been on: Holy Land special 2 CD version, comes in book like pakaging Freedom Call Brasilian versioin ? Finally a Japanese CD single by itself.

    The one (sliver CD) Angra acoustic boot that I know of and own is 'Unplugged Live 1997', a full 75 min set of acoustic songs including a great cover of 'Wasted Years'. Audience recording of not bad quality, a rather noisy crowd.

    I'm not trading anything right now, but my arm can always be twisted :)

    Jeez. My highly anticipated new Columbia House subscription just turned out to be quite the disappointment. :P Several CD's that I was looking forward to ended up sucking ass or just not living up to expectations. For example:

    Mahavishnu Orchecstra - Birds of Fire: Sounds like bad musical filler for a Scooby Doo on Acid afterschool special.

    The Gathering - Always: Back when Anneke had a dick. Sounded just like Nighttime Birds type stuff, but rather than a beautiful siren voice, you're greeted with a vocalist who sounds like he's cursing through his sphincter after having eaten five 12 oz. cans of Hormel Chili for dinner the night before.

    Dixie Dregs - Full Circle: I was expecting more. Sounds like the control subject for the Liquid Tension Experiment. It'll probably be a CD I listen to three times and never again.

    Heather Nova - Siren: Just as depressing as I expected. :( The emotionally-saturated singing that I'd read about before was simply not there. I was expecting depressing music that left me depressed for the wrong reasons. hehehehe. Maybe I just got the wrong album...

    Brian McKnight - Back to One: That's what I get for buying on impulse. I saw the video for the title track on VH1 and bought the CD. Ends up it's just another stereotypical Boys II Men style R&B album. Too much bass, overemphasized, breathy vocals... While this album >may< grow on me, the only thing cool about this album thus far is the guitar he's holding on the cover. He's not worthy.

    Of course, there were some gems in there: Steve Perry - Greatest Hits, David Arkenstone - Citizen of the World, King's X - GGtN, Dream Theater - I&W (to replace my worn copy). The rest I haven't had the chance to listen to yet...

    >Surely, it very much depends upon whether one pronounces it YOU-VUH-LAH or >UV-YOU-LUH?

    >That< depends on which language you're speaking, whereas, if you were speaking German, you likely wouldn't be using the English articles 'a' or 'an' now would you? Secondly, uvula is always pronounce with the long u (yoo) sound in English, the long u phonic demanding the 'a' article rather than the typical 'an' which precedes a noun starting with a vowel. Now, if you start trying to tell me that the word hour should be preceded with 'a' simply because you like to pronounce the 'h', I'll start slapping you. :) It's not that you're wrong, no on is ever wrong, just stupid. :) *ducks* -- KorgX3 says I before E except after yo mama. NP: Steve Perry - Greatest Hits + Five.m3u

    Well it was rather commercial for them - Yes having a hit single ooer! As a long time Yes fan I liked the difference, the band can't be doing heavy drugs ALL the time after all - read some of their lyrics!
