    For what it matters, I have been disappointed by PoS for quite some time.
    Indeed, I have walked out on them twice live after about an hour. To me
    their sound is really decent except for the fact that they never kick it
    into gear. When I listen to them I get bored after about 20 minutes.

    That said as background, I really do like the new CD. I recall double bass
    drumming and even a few power chords !!!! :) The last song actually kicks
    major ass.

    In summary, if you were like me you may actually want to give this new CD a
    chance !!

    Hi, folks:

    The latest Artist Shop Newsletter is out and you'll find it in its entirety
    at <http://www.artist-shop.com/news.htm>. Here are a couple excerpts for
    Ytsejammers.

    Available now from Radiant Records <http://www.artist-shop.com/radiant>
    Transatlantic/Building the Bridge ....VHS-NTSC
    Transatlantic/Building the Bridge ....VHS-PAL
    "TRANSATLANTIC - BUILDING THE BRIDGE - The making of Bridge Across Forever"
    There are some experiences that do not translate well to film. Making an
    album can be one of them because it is such a long arduous process, but,
    somehow, this new Transatlantic video does the impossible. It takes you
    through every part of the journey, through each of the member's eyes, from
    the uncertain start to the triumphant finish, in just under 2 hours!! You'll
    feel like you were there while they made this extraordinary album. From the
    writing process at NEAL MORSE'S house, to MIKE PORTNOY'S amazing drum cam
    footage, to ROINE STOLT'S stunning guitar work, to PETE TREWAVAS spot on
    bass playing, you'll get to see and hear the music that made it on the
    album, and some that was left behind. Plus, there are a lot of wacky antics
    as well. See MIKE PORTNOY take 3 hours to put on his own cymbals, and the
    now infamous 'map of Afghanistan Tongue' tribal dance...well, you'll just
    have to see it! The quality of the footage is incredible! Shot on Sony
    Digi-cams and edited entirely in the digital domain, 'BUILDING THE BRIDGE'
    should satisfy even the snootiest video connoisseur. It also comes in a
    beautiful 4 color box designed by Martin Kornick.

    Coming soon from Jordan Rudess <http://www.artist-shop.com/keywiz>
    Jordan Rudess/4NYC ....CD
    4NYC is a Jordan Rudess album of solo improvisations - acoustic and
    electronic, before a live audience and in the studio. The live tracks were
    taken from a benefit concert to raise money for the American Red Cross in
    response to the tragedy of September 11. Jordan performs on a fantastic 9
    foot Steinway Grand as well as a Kurzweil 2600 and a Korg Karma. A portion
    of the proceeds from sales of this CD will be sent to charitable
    organizations in memory of the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

    Hello!!! I want to put in my word about a new band
    from Puerto Rico that's soon going to be releasing
    it's debut cd. The band is called All That I Bleed,
    although it was formerly known as Dreamline. For
    those of you who have the Fates Warning Tribute album,
    they are the band who covered the song Nothing Left to
    Say. I've had their new cd for a few days, and I must
    say that IMO it's great. Their sound is reminiscent
    of Fates Warning around Perfect Symmetry and No Exit,
    although they can't be labeled as a Fates clone. They
    add some fusion stuff to some of their songs, and they
    have a great mix of heaviness and melody. The guys
    are great musicians, especially the bass player and
    the guitar player, who can shred while still
    maintaining the melodic aspect of his solos. The
    drummer and lead singer are very solid as well. The
    singer's voice might get a little time to get used to,
    but he's a very good singer. If you want to check
    them out (which I recommend you sould), you can go to
    their website www.allthatibleed.com and read all about
    them as well as download an mp3 of one of their songs,
    I Stand Alone. Information about the release of the
    cd will be available on their website. Any feedback
    will be appreciated. Bye!!!

    Alexis
