A pity because they really had some great CD's out. Actually I think peoble on this list would like it too, it has some progressive elements. Titles? Well, here they are: Rhymes of Lunacy Life, death and other morbid tales (this is the most progressive of the two) Check'em out! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Feb 1995 10:29:16 -0500 (EST) From: Michael Burstin To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 705 (a few things) Message-ID: A few quick things... > From: email_address_removed (Erik) > Subject: It's **import** shopping time > First off, these prices are not that great...

Our file server from last year is named berry, and the workstations that we had (and still have) are named after berries such as rasp, straw, huckle, blue, etc. This year, we got a grant from SGI for some machines, including an Onyx (which is named Onyx here) and the SGI workstations that we have are all named after various stones such as opal, pearl, etc. We also have older machines named after various nuts and after planets. If I could get a permanant IP for my computer in my room, I'd probably make it either Metropolis or possibly Erotomania... ----------------- Re: Modern Music Scene I would have to agree that I am sickened by todays music scene... Fortunatly, most of my friends, although they listen to different music than I do, do still have some musical integrity... Unfortunatly, I do still know alot of followers... People who can quote Beavis & Butthead at length, and who listen to all of the "cool" music like Green Day, Offspring, etc... While I can tolerate some of their music, over and over again, I think to myself, how the hell can they sell this shit thinking how they keep on repeating the same beat OVER and OVER and OVER again... It is just sickening to me that bands like this are selling more CDs than DT, QR, FW, and Rush... As far as radio around here, I try not to listen to it too much... There is one decent station around here, but it comes in poorly in my room... (these dorms SUCK for radio and cordless phones) I do think that even they are starting to go downhill... I think that they were much better last year and freshman year... I do consider myself sorta lucky w/ people at my school though... There are at least alot of people that don't just listen to the garbage that eMpTyV is trying to force on us... I know that if I were at a bigger school, I'd probably have more people listening to that stuff... (thats one advantage to going to a small school...:) Anyway, I have rambled on enough for now... -- +----------------------------------------+----------------+---------+ | And I'll smile and learn to pretend | Dream Theater | Michael | | And I'll never be open again | Space Dye Vest | Burstin | | And I'll have no more dreams to defend |-----Awake------+---------+ | And I'll never be open again | Pgh Penguins: 12-1-1 | +----------------------------------------+--------------------------+ For info about Dream Theater, finger email_address_removed http://cs.brandeis.edu/~mikeb/home.html ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Feb 1995 10:26:33 -0800 From: email_address_removed (Paul Goracke) To: email_address_removed Subject: Dt on TV!! Message-ID: Jason Hartman pointed out: > My brother was just watch a show called NBA Inside Stuff, some kinda > basketball report and he said that they were playing Voices in the > background for a few minutes!! They also played a chunk of Lie earlier in the same piece (on the All-Star Game, and everything that goes with it.) I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Mark Tedhams for the quick dubbing of Kevin's demos - exactly one week turnaround for anything when the USPS is involved is great in my book. Also many thanks to Jen for helping make this possible. Now I need to get a new deck - the age of mine is starting to show. pg ----------------------------+---------------------------------- Paul Goracke | "To do is to be" - Aristotle email_address_removed | "To be is to do" - Plato | "Do be do be do" - Sinatra ----------------------------+---------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Feb 1995 10:26:38 -0800 From: email_address_removed (Paul Goracke) To: email_address_removed Subject: Tape piracy (was Random Thoughts) Message-ID: Hairball : > > > > You could borrow or dub a copy from a friend and decide that way, of > >course. Sometimes though, that is not an option. > > Just my own 2 cents about dubbing - not to be taken as a flame, > just my own personal opinion. Generally, I'm against dubbing/copying > albums. Why? Simply put, tape piracy is killing the music industry. Tape piracy may be killing the industry, but I believe what was suggested above actually _helps_ the industry and bands. Note the original quote's inclusion of the phrase "and decide". Here's the situation as I practice it, and as I feel most Ytsejammers do (this is what got me into DT in the first place): A friend says, "check this band out, this album is great stuff." Since I am unwilling to drop the $ on this possibly erroneous recommendation (cf. the threads on "sheep" and "top40 radio mind control" :^), I reply, "tape me a copy and I'll see what I think." The tape is inherently inferior to a CD copy - sound quality, liner notes, playable lifetime. If I end up feeling it's not worth investing in a CD copy, it gets taped over. If I do like it, I end up buying the CD. Not only that, but I try to see them live if I can, _and_ I recommend the band to other friends, at least one or two of which usually end up purchasing a "legal" copy as well - big return on initial investment (which you are considering to be an absolute loss) for that one little temporary copy. This technique is particularly suited to people who have friends in other parts of the country, and therefore different musical trends. Also good for people living in small towns who have to drive 15mi+ to pay US$16 at some Musicland (which won't let you listen to it first), _if_ they have even heard of this band. I _dare_ you to try to find DT in my small hometown in Minnesota! I am definitely not advocating tape piracy - the sale of unauthorized copies attempting to take the place of authorized copies. I am hypothesizing that without this activity, very few bands outside Top 40 would get the support they are now. All right, time to break now so others can rebut. pg ----------------------------+---------------------------------- Paul Goracke | "To do is to be" - Aristotle email_address_removed | "To be is to do" - Plato | "Do be do be do" - Sinatra ----------------------------+---------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Feb 1995 14:47:54 -0500 From: email_address_removed (David Hafke) To: email_address_removed, Subject: Re: import shopping time Message-ID: >Hey everyone... > >I was just browsing on CDNow! through Netscape... > >I am hoping to make my DT collection larger, and I hope that you all can >give me input on what imports are excellent/mediocre/shit. > >#3.

I don't know its FTP address, but its mirrored at mirrors.aol.com in the directory NEVADA/guitar/. There are several DT trascriptions including PMU, Surrounded, Another Day, Metropolis, Erotomania. I haven't checked it out, but I would assume there's plenty of 'scripts for all the Rush and Queensryche fans that hang around here as well.

Message-ID: here's a pretty stupid sounding question, but i am confused. although i'm a musician, i have never heard of tab. i'm assuming it's a type of notation for guitar, which brings me to my big question: do these tab transcriptions include the keyboard parts as score or in tab? i am very eager to get any DT transcriptions, but as a keyboardist, i want to get scores and not something i can't understand. thank you very much for your patience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Norman Dello Jello Ned's Atomic Weed Theater Indiana Univ. of PA email_address_removed "Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful." --TMBG "Don't Let's Start" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Feb 1995 19:09:30 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: My Name's Rhea Message-ID: Hi!

Most are incomplete, but I do have awesome trans. of Surrounded. PMU is missing the melodic solo at the end, and many others I have are just pieces. I am thinking about transcribing Caught in a Web (one of my all time favorite songs) for 7-string, instead of the detuned 6-string transc. found in Guitar School a couple months ago. Or I'll try to do it for 6-string with a high G instead of high-E string. Following the all-good song albums, I have: Tourniquet - Stop the Bleeding, Vanishing Lessons Deliverance- Stay of Execution Believer - Extraction from Mortality, Sanity Obscure, and Dimensions These guys are awesome prog thrash with violins, etc. DT - Images & Words, Awake I can't get into WDADU too much, it's real 80's, but its still cool. The other DT album I've got is the Live in Milan 2-disc set. Its not so bad but it sounds to me like James is making a fool of himself.

Generally, the regular notation you'd be used to would have the coresponding tab directly beneath it for each line of the transcription. So, yes.

Message-ID: Hello all on the list, greetings and salutations! On the subjects list for today: 1. Subconscious CD tentative master disc recorded 2. Need someone to take over the FAQ 3. For Sale! For Sale! Rock 'n Roll rarities 4. Future discs on the slate, currently, other than Dream Theater 5. I have the HBB tape 6. There is no number six. 1. Subconscious CD tentative master disc recorded I did a trial run on the CD, even though I'm still waiting for a couple of source tapes to use. Here's what I got so far. I may or may not change it depending how good the other tapes are when I get them. Unless I post about a change, this will be the TRACK LISTING of the CD. Most everything has FINALLY been found in a low or 1st generation, and in a few cases, DAT masters. 1. A Change of Season - live from New York, 3/4/93 2. To Live Forever - acoustic version, voc: LaBrie 3. Don't Look Past Me (To The Sun) - voc: John Hendricks 4. Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight - voc: Dominici 5. O Holy Night - voc: Dominici 6. Eve - live, with samples, from New York, 3/4/93 7. Wanted Dead or Alive - voc: Rich Kern & Kevin Moore 8. The Gorilla Session Jam - John Petrucci, from FM special 9. Mission: Impossible - studio demo, instrumental 10. Metropolis - studio demo, instrumental 11. Creep With Tonality (later: Learning to Live) - demo, voc: LaBrie I've intentionally left about 9 minutes empty, which is the anticipated time for the following, IF it's of high quality when I hear it. If not, I'll put some other older/demo material on it. 12. Winter (cover of Tori Amos) - live from London, 1/31/95 13. Tears (cover of Rush) - live from London, 1/31/95 Those of you who haven't heard Winter, get up right now, and either buy Tori's "Little Earthquakes" album, or "Crucify" single. It's on both. It's possibly the most beautiful little piece on vinyl... 2. Need someone to take over the FAQ I confess... I just havent had time to truly devote to the FAQ like I used to do. It was great when I did. So I want to find someone who DOES have the time, and "officially" hand over that mantle. It may seem like a dirty job, but it also got me backstage to meet the band, so it _definitely_ has some perks. :) I'll hand over my current working copy (with a lot of newer stuff read-in in raw format, waiting for me to do some more work on it) and some source material that I am still looking to use in some manner, and you get a spot in the credits too! At the _top_! :) Anyone who is unemployed, or not going to school, or otherwise just has a TON of time on their hands, email me at email_address_removed and I'll give you the FAQ. I'm keeping the discog because I started with that, and it takes less maintenance. I added the Lie and Silent Man singles, as well as all the promos, so the version I'm sending to cs.uwp.edu and nevada (netcom is always busy!) should be the new one. 3. For Sale! For Sale! Rock 'n Roll rarities A few more things I have for sale to raise money for the move and the huge house purchase... since my DT boot CDs flew out the door so fast I couldn't even wave goodbye. :) .

Rush: Shining Stars on Summer Nights 1-CD The soundboard show from Fresno, CA from 11/26/1976. One of the five known true soundboards (Hartford, Oakland '92, this one, Auburn Hills '90, and a Hemispheres tour board that I ain't lettin' out until Rush breaks up) and a damn good quality recording... roughly 45 minutes, plus the remaining 20 minutes of the show from audience master. . Type O-Negative: Gothic Plague 1-CD From the master tape from Tempe, AZ 5/30/94, ~75 mins! Extremely good stereo recording, and it fills a CD just so. Includes songs played at only a handful of dates on the Tragical Misery Tour 1994. 5. I have the HBB tape I have a 1st gen (but PAL) copy of the Headbangers Ball UK show featuring our favourite band, thanks to Andreas Schaefer (everyone give him a big round of applause, what a great guy!) and I'm gonna get it converted to NTSC at a local pro recording outlet in order to make it available in trade.
