I want to first reiterate that I will have this access around February or March, as above stated. It is at that time that a CD burner will be delivered to my location. I already had requests from people looking to have CD's made... please: to all of you: don't ask. It's going to be hard enough just making them to sell on my own, after all, I am just a humble college student like most of you! > Great! I'd like to have a copy. Are we going to have a sign-up list? Definitely. In fact one of the conditions of my acquiring the CD burner is that I have to have 200 orders right from the get-go. Thus, I will be putting together something like the following: Availability on CD of special limited editions of: (these will have Ytsejam in the liners and be very specific.) * Rush: The Neil Peart Solo Montage, Expanded/Updated w/better quality shows! * Dream Theater: When Dream And Today Unite * Dream Theater: Subconscious (the unreleased/rare tracks incl. ACOS) * Dream Theater: (something) live from minidisc from Tucson, AZ 12/4/94 * Dream Theater: (something) live from minidisc from Tempe, AZ 12/5/94 Note that these will mainly be just special edition things for Ytsejam. I don't want to break into the large scale CD bootleg market because of the legalities of it. I will definitely make gifts of each disc to Mike Portnoy. :) The whole reason for the CD burner is to enter the MPEG CDROM market legitimately.. I just think this would be a great way to share the benefits of the machine. Since I'm a diehard Rush and Dream Theater FANATIC, you KNOW these discs will be done as well as possible, with accurate liners and decent printing, indexing, etc. If I can get at least 200 discs worth of interest (now that'd only mean 40 people if each of you bought all five, and there are hundreds on the list) then the CD project will be thumbs up. Again, don't give me the orders just YET, I will ask for them very close to delviery time of the CD burner to keep things current.

I think you'll get quite a few other takers, so it'll probably be worth doing. IT'll be a collector's item two years from now... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Nov 94 16:47 MET From: email_address_removed.de (Ties Goebel) To: email_address_removed Subject: Wach auf! Message-ID: William Wright wrote in YTSEJAM digest 597: > Wach Auf litterally means Wake Up... :) I wonder why they put two other > DT non related bands on the cd though. Weird people over there in > Deutschland. :) The relation between the bands is that they released new stuff at the same record label... there are also promo posters for these three bands together. I have one just for DT that says "Wach auf! Dream Theater - Awake - Das neue Album". :) You speak a bit German ?

LaBrie said that all the vocals on the album were his, except for some backing vocals. He said it was Purdell on Silent Man, and that JP didn't do any singing. Also in the FAQ, they wanted to know the date that DT opened for Marillion. The date for the Ritz show was 11/14/89. This was also Dominici's last show. I also believe that this is the extra stuff which is on one of the double cd boots (Consciously Unreal?) although it's not the full show. They also opened for Marillion at Sundance on Long Island on 6/9/90. It was all instrumental except that Steve(?) Stone was introduced as the new vocalist and he came out and sang A Change Of Season. The band promptly canned him after his horrible performance.

What makes Jamet et al such good singers is that they can sing their songs without going into a falsetto voice (for most of it) Example: Before I had any singing training, I could do about 1.5 octave in my normal register, and add about an extra octave and a half with my falsetto. Now, with a little training I can do over 2 octaves without. I didn't increase my "total" range, since those notes were at the top of ny normal register, but I have a wider range without resorting to the soft and distinctly not-metal-like sound of a falsetto :) Please, if people have real knowledge (I have bare minimum knowledge of singing) feel free to elaborate/correct me (though nhot on my range - I know that) :) ~Chris __ /\ __ __\/__\/__ \_||_/ /__||__\ // \ | \\ \| ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 598 *************************
