Good lord, I haven't laughed that hard since James wore the "Puffy Pirate
Shirt" at Irving Plaza in May of '97. ;)
Back into lurk mode, I s'pose.

Hi All....
Just got the Engines of Creation from Satch. As before, he just blew me away. Now, I have a question for you Guitar Guru's in the list....In Power Cosmic II, the main riff - is it done by sweep picking or by two handed tapping (a la Mystical potato head, Stu Hamm stuff). At first I thought it was sweep but now that I listen to
it more... it seems more like some two handed shit.
Those who haven't heard it yet ....Joe's gone Techno.

I just got a few discs in the mail. Preliminary thoughts:
Jag Panzer - TTTT
Hey, this sounds pretty good. I have to say that this disc blows the past
two away. It doesn't sound cheesy at all, which is a fear I had for such a
"concept." Thank god for no "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" narration. I think I
am going to need more time to digest this one.
Opeth - Still Life
The first song scared me with the goat vox, but then things chilled out and I
started digging it, man. (Scooby Doo, where are you) I need more time on this
one, too.
Royal Hunt - Paradox
I didn't realize I had already heard pretty much this whole cd since I have
the double live cd. Doesn't sound too different from the live album, really.
I should have bought Moving Target I guess. DC Cooper rules, though those
topless pictures, them I could do without.
Platypus - Ice Cycles
The opposite of synergy. More is less. Subtraction by addition. Whatever.
Platypus doesn't suck, but they are thisclose to forming a vaccuum. Ty, stick
with Doug. Please.
Stratovarius - Infinite
/me cues Droopy the dog: You know what? This is exciting.
Why do I keep buying this shit? It's not bad. It's not good. It's a product.
A brand name. You know what you are getting. Bah. Bad cd buyer, bad cd buyer.
By the way, that Jag Panzer artwork sure isn't going to sell any records in
this neighborhood :-(

I'm a big Who fan, and got to see them on the first of
their last tours (81 or 82). I liked Tommy when it
first came out because it was the first time I got to
see them play. The album is tremendous, but I feel
the movie didn't do the story justice. I can't
remember the director's name, but I don't think he was
the best choice. He also directed a movie on Mahler
which was God awful. I haven't seen the Tommy
musical, but from what I've seen, I think it
represents the story the way it was meant to be (well
at least Townsend said so).

Try and catch VH1's new 'Rock Story' show. It is incredible, far better
than behind the music. And that show is great. Anyway they did a piece on
violent concerts, and spent 15 mins on Woodstock '99.
Everthing was sooo expensive, everyone was out of money long before Sunday
nights show. So Limp Bizkit just through gasoline on the fire. $5 for 1
bottled water? Not that I condone violence(esp. at a show about peace) but
the promoters got what they deserved. Instead of making a buttload of money
off millions of kids, they ended up losing money in damage.
I believe that it depends on what program and how you convert the .wav's as
to the pop. I've got a few,(the Woodstock full performance shows) that
sound incredible. No pops, no distortion, nadda. Not sure how they were
done though.

ventre into the "past Dream Theater" prog. My first was Shadow Gallery's
Carved in Stone (which I was disappointed with then but have come to love
now) and I really thought that Dream Theater was the end-all.
But I found Manifesto for Futurism and it saved me because I love every track
on there with the exception of Hills of Memory because it makes me think of
U2.
So I can owe my vault into buying cds that you cant find in NRM's to Dali's
Dilemma. :-)
not, when and where can I get it when it comes out? If so, where can I get it?

experience lack of creativity as most of the old timers? :)
now makes NOTHING to me. It's garbage, in case of JT the music isn't
interesting anymore, the creativity is gone. It's fairly good
for the genre they play, but something is terribly missing. I don't
think any
sain old JT fan would like their new stuff.
BUT, JT and U2 will always remain gods for me.
> to listen to Steve's music to know he's a creative as hell
> also millions of Vai-Isms in the song.
sone ig pretty Vaish, except that main theme intro speed of light solo,
which is obviously inspired by those Scuttlin' Buttlin' kinda tunes
(lol, can't recall exact name of the SRV song)
song, but of course also "MORE IN MY OWN MANNER". Perfect tribute to
SRV, original AND paying respct to SRV too. Actually for me the biggest
similarity with SRV in the song is those crazy funky guitar chords
kicking during the Mangini madness. THAT is SRV chording.

Infos at www.ghostland.com and www.insideoutmusic.com
You should be able to buy it from most of the usual
online sources (Laser's Edge, etc).
day or so ago... if you dig them, you need to check
out the Robert Fripp String Quintet, as well. It's
the C.G.T., plus Fripp on electric guitar and Trey
Gunn on Grand Stick.
