Oh god, the music they play at my gym is aweful. Ya know, I can stand to
listen to some techno/house/trance/whatever, but for crying out loud - the
set lists are at least as restrictive as those on top 40 radio. I only go
about for about an hour a day, 3 times a week, and I hear the same stinking
songs over and over and over and over again (not like there's much variety
among those songs anyways)
Probably half of the clientele are white males between the ages of 20 & 50.
You can't tell me that nobody in there would appreciate a bit of good, old
fashioned rock music. Heck, it doesn't even have to be prog. I'd rather hear
the stones, or the doors, or something.

For some reason, people just love working out to techno or any dance music. At the gym I used to go to, I was friends with quite a few people that worked there, so I took my cds with me and put them on regularly. Almost everybody would get pissed off, while I would be in heaven. One time I put on Therion, and one woman started complaining about it saying that the music was Satanic!!! Ahhhh, those were the days... I have no chance of doing that anymore, since the gym I go to now is full of stuck up people who would complain in a second after hearing just one power chord. I don't understand it, since I think more aggressive music pumps you up better than dance music.
On to other topics, I recently got Symphony X's The Odyssey, Avantasia II and Luca Turilli's Prophets of the Last Eclipse and Demonheart, and they are all good. SX's new one is the most progressive album they have done, and it's getting better with every listen. I can understand the criticism it has received about the melodies not getting readily stuck in your head, but I guess it's because of the nature of the music, inclining more towards the prog side than the power metal one. It's just going to take a few more listens, I guess, although it's already sounding kickass. Incantations of the Apprentice is one freakin awesome song. Avantasia II is very good as well, exactly the same style as the first one. The only thing I hate about it is the sound quality, which for some reason is much worse than on the first one. Finally, Luca Turilli's new one (and the ep Demonheart) are awesome. For those of you who don't know, Luca Turilli is the guitarist for Rhapsody. The styl!
e is pretty much what you would expect from him, although the keyboard sounds are more electronic and modern now. That change in keys sounds has given new life to the music, which now sounds much fresher than if he had stuck with the same formula as always. Great songs, everything's great in that album. Don't miss out on it.
Alexis
