That sounds cool -- how did the guitar substitute for the choral
voices?

No, they are a new lineup, and they haven't recorded yet, The band name is
Palmer, i think.

These duties were commanded in the beginning to the bass actually. The
guitar was doing some some steady 8'ths notes in the background, in
crescendo......then he joined the bass with some upper chords imitaing the
voices at full volume. Evil-sounding stuff!

Hey Jammers,
I guess a new album is as good a reason to come out of lurk mode
as any other. So what do I have to type ? Well for starters I dig the
shit out of 6DoiT. I personally think DT continue to evolve as time goes
by which is probably the best way to keep from becoming stale, I mean
come on people our FB is cranking out serious material, in relatively
short amounts of time, which if you consider the space between Awake ,
CoS , and SFAM , that's a good thing.
As far as I care I think the vocal melodies are getting better. Am I
wrong in assuming that the backing vocals of the past were mostly LaBrie
overdubs and now Portnoy and Petrucci are doing more and more, thus the
difference. I also thought the very beginning of the album with the
white noise was cool. The fact that this is yet another concept album
really turns me on.
As far as DT sounding like other bands, TOOL and Peter Gabriel
in particular, I think it would be pretty hard to find albums of this
quality with this amount of variant moods, that didn't have moments of
familiarity. I hear DT's music on other peoples albums I hear relative
riffs in video game commercials too, but I enjoy the hell out of a song
that can call up a mood within me that relates to the story being told.
If Salisbury Hill becomes Solitary Shell, and I can relate the two
references to better understand the mood then I say well played.
And I agree with the way Lyric summed up the album. Very thoughtful.
Struck a chord with me anyway. Oh well enough from me I guess.
The easiest Magic to perform is to make someone smile. Unfortunately
Discouragement is the trick more often played.

mmhhh - saw this trio play last summer - and by the sound of things the
setlist hasn't changed. ELP were the first prog band i ever heard (back in 72
or something) and themr early stuff is still amongst myfavourite music.
Personally I'm not a guitarist and I always adored Keith Emerson's keyboard
playing, so hearing ELP material played without Keyboards didn't sit well with
me. I can understand Carl wanting to try something different, but personally I
didn't think it worked. Maybe Shaun Baxter (who released that 'Jazz metal'
disk quite a few years ago), has improved, cos I have to say that I absolutely
hated his playing and the way he massacred my favourite ELP tunes. However you
obviously enjoyed it.
During the concert I saw Carl explained that Shaun was a teacher at the
'London Guitar Institute' or something.

Just turned on the olympics and guess who I heard...Dream Theater. Apparently they're using parts of ACOS, maybe others, as music for some of the fill spots between events.

I was shocked tonight to hear them playing DT music at the olympics tonight on TV.They played pieces of A Change Of Seasons as they were describing the downhill event.I thought that was pretty cool.Never expected to hear DT on primetime TV. :)
