Current Order Status - 13 September 1994 .. . . . . . . NOTICE!!!!!!! Current orders will be cut off as of 30 September 1994. The reason is that I am moving, and I will only be able to take my own SVHS VCR to my new dwelling. The other one belonged to my parents, and, as would be expected, they are going to be needing it in order to watch their OWN tapes! :) With only one VCR, I will be limited as far as video copies go. Hopefully, I can find a roomie who DOES have his/her own VCR, as the first roomie I know I will have, has none. It's a house rental, so one or two more people could conceivably come into the picture. Alas, even at best, I don't expect anyone who moves in to the rental house to have an SVHS deck, only a VHS. This will become a regular posting to Ytsejam for as long as the Rush Video Montage is available, to give you instant feedback on whose orders I am getting and what their current location is. I will post it once a week, twice if I have time, to let you all know how things currently stand. I did the last MAIL stop >one< days ago, so by the time most of you read this, if your name is in the mailed list, you should HAVE your tape. Anyone who dosen't have it that is on the mailed list, contact me right away! (well, unless you're almost at the bottom, as those DID just get mailed, you might want to wait a few days.) The 'taped' list is tapes I have recorded completely, each time I get a chance off from work or class, I drop by the post office to mail all of those. This is a minimum twice a week, so you know that your tape will go no longer than 3 days waiting to be mailed. These are ready to go, and will go out as soon as possible! The 'current queue' means I cashed your check, bought your tape, and it's in the pile I currently have to record. Yes, I use your own money to buy the material. I run a profit margin of about 25 cents on these things, since it's mostly a favor for the Ytsejam list in the first place, so please don't get on me about money (some folks have!) it's not like I'm buying limos. I buy YOUR tapes with the money you sent, and your stamp, etc. Thus, if your check clears, it's in my current queue or else it's done. I do not let the current queue grow to more than 8 tapes. At that point I stop buying tapes and wait until I get a few orders out. This is so that you don't have to wait a loooooooong time between the payment and the product. The 'new orders' list comes in here. I have your order, but a huge backlog already, so I haven't cashed your check yet. I'll get to these as soon as the current queue drops. I will usually clear out a full queue and then add 6-7 new orders, buying your tapes all at once. To those of you who have waited to order: THANK YOU!! The order queue is gradually, gradually shrinking. The longer you wait, the less the delay before you get your tape. I am closing in on a one-week turnaround time, and I hope to make it to 72 hours or less as activity from the list becomes more or less regular and mostly the new folks order it (as the veterans will all have it!) I'd like to apologize to you all once again for how long it's taking me to get through all of these, I had no idea how many of you would want them, but they are getting done as fast as they can be. Please bear with me and be patient, I will try and minimize the wait as much as I can! UPDATE: I've been able to really clear down the queue a lot, hopefully the wait will be short for most of you at this point. MAILED! You should have your tapes. riva,backof,clark,skewes,cameron,hung,brietweg,jager,peele,kulesa,schomber masi,sandridge,anderson,modak,phillips,dobay,heath,moller,chew,stahl mcmaster,adair,sandoval,zimmerman,gaffer,sanborne,simpson,torres,merrell s.johnson,cloninger,tucker,hartman,poe,taylor,glaser TAPED!

Their music sounded so *thin* to me. I am making no criticisms of their musicianship which I think is top form. I saw them a few months back when the 'Scorps came through. I have to say, other than Eric J. opening for Satch, they were by far the best opening band I've seen. They sounded so *powerful* onstage as compared to any of their studio stuff. They are such a great band that I'm wondering if they're just suffering from poor production (please flame if I'm totally off base). They really connected with the crowd (I was at the rail) really well, too... ...just some non-_ _ thoughts... anyone who hasn't gotten Inside Out, get it! It's my second favorite Fates album behind (*gasp!*) Parallels. I'm not being a progressive-poser, either, since I had Perfect Symmetry and No Exit for a long time before I obtained Parallels. (PS would come third, but then, I don't have anything else). I totally disagree with the opinion of some that the relationship between PS and the subsequent release of Parallels parallels (pun intended) that of QR's Mindcrime and Empire. Empire is *a lot* different than Mindcrime. I do think ||s is more *subtile* than PS but not *weaker*. later on, Zach "Waiting for the rainbow's end."

Message-ID: Well guys hate to break the news but DT and FW will not be touring, well at least the first leg of the tour! Ray Alder, during a news conference at the Foundations Forum wished that FW would be able to tour with DT. After talking to Brian Slagle (Metal Blade) and Jim Patulski(sp?), one of DT's managers, it doesn't seem like a go. The standard "politics" was the issue but I highly feel it's something more then that! DT has a confirmed act that I know about and will be giving that information out as soon as I can. It also seems to me, after attending the Foundations Forum, that Fates is on the verge of a break up. I surely hope that doesn't happen, but with the type of budget Metal Blade has been producing lately for touring and video production it seems like it a break up is in the makings! Please, keep in mind this is what I feel and by no means do I want to start any ugly rumors, I hate to see such a talented band go but sometimes you just get that weird feeling that something's up! On the other hand, I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Awake (first generation) and some extra DT stickers. If you are looking for DT stickers, check with the RIP magazine issue that has Henry Rollins on the cover, there will be one in the middle of the magazine! Take care everyone!

I think it is crap... Someone please reassure me that the rest of the album is not sell-out metal garbage like LIE. Kevin Moore is smart...

I recently borrowed it from Michael Backof (thanks Mike!) who said that he thought it was in the Dream Theater vein. I have to say that I definitely agree. In fact, it's the closest I've heard any band come to the Dream Theater sound (much closer than Fates Warning or even Magellan (IMHO)). They aren't a clone of DT, fortunately -- they have their own sound, though they probably aren't quite up to DT's level of musicianship. But, I love all of the riffing and jamming that goes on, even while in the background behind the singing. And I especially enjoy the dynamics, the way they'll be jamming, pause, pick things up, pause, and go again. Wonderful. That kind of dynamics reminds me of the best of the old Rush and Yes and, of course, Dream Theater! The music is generally guitar dominated, but the keyboardist often provides tasteful harmonies and will also jam right alongside the guitar -- cool. It's all very tight, with complex rhythms, time changes, and great dynamics -- the slower 'acoustic' sections complement the heavier parts very well. The songs average about 7 minutes in length and never really drag on (IMHO) -- it's a strong album overall. Black Jester is apparently an Italian band, but the vocals are in English. My only complaint would be that because the vocals are pretty low in the mix, it is rather hard to understand the lyrics. I do like the vocalist though -- he's got a fairly aggressive style that goes well with the music. I've called a store in Balitimore (Of Sound Mind -- (410) 529-7082) and they have a couple of the CD's in stock. I'll be buying this CD as soon as possible. :-) Since it's a German import, you'll probably have to get it from an import shop (or order it from a place like Of Sound Mind). Anyway, as you can probably tell, this band has really impressed me and I'm already looking forward to trying out their earlier album (don't know the name). Just thought I'd let you know about them... Let me know if any of you try them out, or already know of them (is anyone familiar with their first album?). Steve P.S. Here's the info on the album. I'm sure a place like Of Sound Mind could order it, if they're out of stock: Artist: Black Jester Album Name: Welcome to the Moonlight Circus Year Released: 1994 Total Time: 46:37 Label: Music is Intelligence Catalog #: WMMS 037 Recorded: in Germany -- *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* Steve / \ Chew / / -- And you and I reach over the sun to -- Wonderful, \\\' , / // the river. wonderful, \\\//, _/ //, -- A smile costs nothing, but most wonderful! \_-//' / //<, gives much. \ /// > \\\`__/_ you what you are. more dangerous /,)-^>> _\` \\\ -- Only through love changes come. enemies of truth (/ \\ / \\\ than lies. // _//\\\ -- Better to have loved and have lost, ((` (( than never to have loved at all. email_address_removed *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 515 *************************
