When I hear surrounded I think of an open field on a foggy day. Metropolis, too, reminds me of a futuristic city. Actually, the bells in the beginning of the song remind me of the play Les Miserables for some reason. When I hear LSOAD and SDV, I think of being at home on a cold winter's night with snow falling outside. From LSOAD I get that feeling with the quote, "the chill of winter's darkness sits quietly" and from SDV, I get it when I hear that crack in the song around :54 seconds. LTL reminds me of the Spanish group the Gipsy Kings when John starts playing the acoustic guitar around 5:30. The beginning of Status Seeker reminds me of the movie, "Karate Kid". I don't know...there's a part in the movie that sounds very similar to the intro of this song. The intro to Innocence faded reminds me of Beverly Hills 90210. This intro would work on that show.

Message-ID: I have just listened to 'A Kick Into A Dream' in it's entirety. I know I'm a bit behind on this--my local boot shop just got it this week. There must have been quite a bit of EQ monkeying done before the discs were pressed. The instruments sound _really_ good for an audience recording. I was surprised, in particular, by how well the cymbals came across. The big let down for me was the quietness of the vocals. I suspect that this was the way the show really sounded. When I saw them in Chicago, James was nearly inaudible. I've also seen comments to this effect in several Ytsejam reviews. One other thing about Kick--I would like to take the indidual with the 'musical' whistle that felt he had to pepper every quiet moment of the show with his atonal gems and fit him with a permanent gag. Oh well... Even though this isn't the greatest boot, and I'm sure better ones will come from the shows in Europe, I'm glad that there's a record of Derek's early days in the band.

It seems that some prog musicans just got together all from different bands and make their own. Well, U.K. is one of them, and they're awesome. Dream Theater even played a cover of one of their songs at the cover concert! I have U.K.'s self entitled album, which is quite good. It features Allan Holdsworth on guitar (this is is awesome! You should hear his solos, a must for any guitar player!) Eddie Jobson on keyboards and electric violin (this thing is really cool) John Wetton (of King Crimson fame) on bass and vocals, and Bill Bruford on drums. (of Yes, King Crimson, every other prog-band in the world, etc...) This has some of the most original music I've heard in a long time. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Mar 1995 22:56:11 -0600 (CST) From: Nate Bradley To: email_address_removed Subject: Duluth, MN .. YTSEJAM CONVETION Message-ID: > All these people in here touting "The convention should be in Duluth, MN -- Hey, I RESENT that!!! I live in Duluth MN. It's a mighty fine town, I do not think it is a place for THE Ytse Jam convention, but we might be able to host a local one if there are enough people in the surrounding area. I would really like to see the Long Island convention take place. I haven't said much about the Ytse Jam convention issue yet, but it is a great idea. But as far as my attendance goes, I am still alittle unsure whether I could make it. I was just out in Long Island last November, it was a nice place and would like to go back. I attempted to gather some people before the DT show in Minneapolis. (Remmember that Brian ;-) ) Unfortunately not as many people as expected showed up. But it was fun any way. For a MIDWEST regoinal convention, I think Minneapolis area would serve quite well. Well we might have to make it an UPPER MIDWEST convention. I think the idea of one National convention (LONG ISLAND) and then various regoinal ones would be an excellent idea. Of course, Everyone would be welcome at any of them. BTW, excellent idea BABS. The last time I was in Long Island (actually NYC) Duluth MN was also ripped on. It was at a musical, afterwards I introduced myself to the actor. I said, "Hi, I'm Nathan Bradley. Just flew in from Duluth this morning." He thought that it was rather funny.....

Rivera" To: Dream Theater Subject: It had to happen Message-ID: Surprisingly enough, I actually have a question about DT, specifically about Mike Portnoy. This would probably be best answered by the drummers on the list, but I was curious as to what kind of China(s) cymbals Mike used on Awake. I'm probably going to buy one soon and I love the way they sounded on Awake. If anyone has a Modern Drummer laying around with this info or is a big enough DT fan to know this off the top of their head, I would appreciate it. I know he's endorsed by Sabian (kick-ass cymbals!!!!!) but what about the specifics (size, type)? Thanks.

Message-ID: Hey all, I just wanted to know if any Jammers have talked to the band or otherwise heard of any US tour dates for this summer. Better yet, when do tickets go on sale? If no one knows, would someone ask the band...maybe? I just don't want to be so caught up in "who had the first video for eMpTyV," "worst band," etc. that I miss out. Hopefully I'll see some of you guys in the Northeast. To Babs: Keep working on the Ytsecon. Wherever it is I'll be there and I'm sure there's a whole bunch more who don't give a rat's ass about the planning details but will be there too. Keep up the good work! Oh, and is it just me or are there other jammers out there who have a different favorite DT song every week?

It's usually the way it's written on the mixing board above the guitar track cause there's not much space. Geoff Downes, a keyboard player, produced the whole album and wrote one song. The album is all guitar and guitar-driven sounds and no keyboard playing. Of course there is also Bass, Drums, and Vocals. Although it sounds like a sure-fire winner, I was very disappointed in this album and felt that it is the worst thing Hackett or Howe have done. I noticed that someone on Ytesjam listed it as being in his Top Three albums ever. To each his own. BTW, the CD is out of print, so if you see it used for under 10 bucks, you should buy it. If you don't like it you could easily sell it for what you paid.

The reason why NIN turned me off was because my friend lent me 'Fixed', and the repetitiveness really turned me off. Well, he lent me another CD of theirs. I don't remember what it's called, but the CD cover was light brown. N E ways, I'll be lending him my Awake CD next time I see him, so maybe we'll have another DT fan soon! Thanks again for your input! Yours, Jeff =) P.S. The Long Island Ytsejam Convention will probably be on July 8th, but BABS has to hear from Jim Pitulski first to confirm, just to make sure that there's no concert on that day.

Things are sounding okay, but, it's gonna be hard to tell until I get in there and really start mixing. The kick sounds really good for a change, and I think the snare is something I can live with. Very 70's sounding. =) The only problem thus far is the fact that I've only got 8 Tracks to work with. The track layout works like this: All Other Rythym Lead Bass Vocals Vocals/Other Snare Kick Drums/Cymbals guitar guitar Guitar Shit... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 I don't wanna hear about sub-mixing drums to DAT. Blech. Yuck. =) Anyway, as silly as that may seem, it *generally* works. I need that kick/snare separation. Has to be there. The room mikes? Eh, well, ya kinda wing it, and watch the levels. I'm actually better at fixing stuff that's f**ked up than actually coping with engineering. =) (Yes, I admit it, I'm an idiot. Sue me, don't listen to a word I say from here on out.) I'll let anyone who's interested know when we're done. We cut some basics today - because I'm the bassist and I'm busy engineering, we do drums & rythym guitar 1st, then add everything else. This kid across the hall thought that our set up was "silly," and that I "should be in the room with the band recording." Bahahaha...yeah, okay, whatever. The sign on the door of the room I converted into the control room was changed from: SPRUCE STREET REVIVAL CONTROL ROOM & PLEDGE PIT to: SPRUCE STREET REVIVAL SILLY CONTROL ROOM & PLEDGE PIT Yes, we're doing this in a frat house. I should point out, however, that this is one of the few frats where guitars outnumber people 2 to 1. =) And there's 4 bands that have members in this house. No jocks here. ;) Anyway, so this is somewhat relevant, I got some mail regarding the bass issue again. The question was something along the lines of "Would a Chris Squire-esque bass tone work for Dream Theater?" And, the answer to that question: Did it work on WDADU? =) Too thin. Metal needs a thicker bass tone. I still contend that Baron/Purdell did an excellent job. Prater did alright. We won't talk about WDADU. =) Okay. The other semi-relevant thing: MIKE BAHR! My sh*t will be in the mail on monday. Hope you enjoy the "picture." (You'll understand when you get it...hehe...) Later, happy engineering... -Hairball, that long-winded sh!t-head ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Mar 95 21:58:56 EST From: "John R.
