Presto is my favorite album of theirs too. It's got the best keyboard sound out of any of their albums, IMHO. (Some people might prefer the 1982 synthesizer sound of Moving Pictures or Signals, but I like the newere sounds better. :-) ) One of the large drawing points about DT is the fact that they have (had?) a keyboard player, a very good one at that, and he is allowed to be heard throughout the music. Strangely enough, Presto also contains my least favorite Rush song, Hand Over Fist. That one always manages to get me to hit the song forwards button on my CD player. I listen to Countdown, but Hand Over Fist seems to strike a nerve with me. obDTContent: I wonder what Kevin thinks about Presto....?

Well, I certainly don't like FW as much as DT or Queensryche and Rush, but it is music "worthy". I can't really say that it puts me to sleep, but it is quite mellow; there aren't any monster guitar soloes like JP's, but I believe it is musically and lyrically strong. I'm not surprised there are some ppl (ytsejammers) that don't like FW (well Parallels, anyways, cuz that's all I have).

Jarrod, check out the band picture wall at The Boardwalk in Orangevale Dream Theater has an autographed picture on the wall. So does Fates Warning, for that matter. Remember, when IAW *first* came out, DT did a *club* tour. I know, because I won free tickets to go to a club date here in the Bay Area. This was just before I went out and got the album. Like a loser, I didn't bother to go! I guess album sales improved and the label decided to support a tour of bigger venues. > The next time the band plans a tour in Northern CA, I think we should unite > all of the local fans - and it wouldn't hurt if some of you Bay Area people > helped out. : ) (Yes, Bret, I know that I can already count you in!)

(I'm doing my own part by also trying to > indoctrinate prospective fans. ) I go to concerts in Sac. all the time (I used to live there over a decade ago). You guys *still* have the best radio station (93 Rock). If you have any complaints about it, just some down to San Jose and tune in to KSJO (92.3) I listen at night and you can bet, except for extreme overplay of Aerosmith and Van Halen, that this station is turning "Alternative". There are tons of songs that I haven't heard in over a year down here that when I travel into the valley I hear them right away (on Rock 104 -Stockton/Modesto- too.

Brown Rice is on Shadowdance - that's the one that begins with New Electric India, right? Shadowdance also has new versions of two songs from Watercourse Way (Watercourse Way(?), Song for My Brother) that they put on the disc because they thought they'd never get the rights to reissue WWay after Passport Records went under. The reason I suggested Watercourse Way is that it is the one with the hardest "edge" - especially the first two songs (The Shape of a Word, Linear Dance) - so good for DT fans. The two you suggested (the first two recorded on Windham Hill) are really good, too, but a different sound. (Which is exactly why you suggested them. ) > PS (might try The Dreams of Children or Too Far to Whisper) Beyond (Beneath, Between, Behind? ) the Wailing Wall is a song that sticks out in my memory... Have you checked out their "Retrospective" album on Windham Hill? (If so, is there anything interesting on it, or is it all stuff from other releases?) BTW, it's cool finding someone else on the list who's into Ponty and Shadowfax. Now I just need to find a Michael Hedges fan (other than TomT )...

Grayson" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Fates Warning Listener's Guide Message-ID: Fellow ystejammers: Since Fates Warning was the band that was responsible for getting me interested in Dream Theater (similar to the way it was for Dr. Mosh), here are few of my responses to Doc. Mosh's listener's guide to Fates Warning: > In my opinion, Parallels is one of the greatest CD's made by any band. I agree. "Point of View" has a majestic sound to it IMHO--chords and notes that sustain and stir one with both grandeur and melancholy. > Fates Warning is generally thought of to be a darker more brooding > band, sometimes bordering on depressive. From my listenings, I can particularly say that sometimes I get the most out of FW when I am alone, driving in the car or reading. Personally, I find that they are somewhat personal, though I *enjoy* them to new heights live, and can easily be drawn in while listening with fellow Fates Warning buffs. The music is both introverted and accessible to me while with others. Jim Matheos was quoted as saying that some of the lyrics come from personal experiences, and I think that has a certain allure to the listener--the same way that pieces like "Space-Dye Vest" and "Light Fuse and Get Away" do in DT's repetoire. There is a great amount of emotionalism there, a romanticism similar to the way Mary Shelley addressed things in the novel _Frankenstein_ (since I am inclined to literature, as well). Both bands have a way of also addressing the fantastic, in addition to those sharp pangs of reality. Best, Perry M.

The lines themselves come straight from the book (on the same page no less), and since I just happen to have it here with me, I figure I'll transcript the section for anyone interested. Hope I'm not breaking any copyright laws, but here goes: --No, continued Aunt Kate, she wouldn't be said or led by anyone, slaving there in that choir night and day, night and day. Six o'clock on Christmas morning! And all for what? --Well, isn't it for the honour of God, Aunt Kate? asked Mary Jane, twisting round on the piano-stool and smiling. Aunt Kate turned fiercely on her niece and said: --I know all about the honour of God, Mary Jane, but I think it's not at all honourable for the pope to turn out the women out of the choirs that have slaved there all their lives and put little whipper-snappers of boys over their heads. I suppose it is for the good of the Church if the pope does it. But it's not just, Mary Jane, and it's not right. Well, there you go, I hope that does someone some good. BTW (I love these little Internet abbreviations that save so much time), are the samples from SDV really from "Room With a View?" I've seen some people on the DT alt file who vehemently argue that they are from "Boxing Helena," which has the same actor and supposedly a very similiar line.

I think that Nuno's good, but NOT repeat NOT good enough to take SEVEN guitar SOLOS (i.e. no one else on the stage). That, coupled with the irritating practice of playing the first half of a song, then swtiching to a new song (I think they made it completly through only 3 songs the whole night). I don't like them any more. Also if anyone else saw them, BACK ME UP ON THIS!! 3) I think the B- tuning on the CIAW script is cool, man!! Try making up new riffs with it. (Mind you, if you've got a floating tremelo, jam something under it, or you'll spend hours trying to tune your axe) 4) I can sort of play drums (CANNOT play double bass though, my legs always cramp up), and I'll have to say that IMHO TTT is the hardest to play. Especially, the section that starts "Unbroken spirit, obscured and..." and the 9/8 section following the first piano interlude. The ride --hi-hat work just loses me everytime. 5) Mikey, you get a resounding AMEN!!! from the chorus!! The section that you and the other guy (sorry man!) describe from Voices gets me yodeling 'til my girlfriend wrenches my nuts in a vice. But you're both right. I don't think there's a more beautiful passage on Awake. 6) Tori is the Wo-man (hesitate on the hyphen) does anyone else huh-huh "get into her"?? (I apologize lady 'jammers!) If not, try getting Little Earthquakes. All but the first song Crucify are awesome. Also, the song (insert twilight zone theme here) "Spacedog" RULEZ on In The Pink. 7) I give!! I'm going to buy Perfect Symmetry this weekend. I figure if all the FW guys are going to spend that much effort helping out their fellow jammers, they MUST know something I don't. Sorry so long guys!!! Mr. Sysop? Do we get flogged if letters are too lengthy??
