It pops up more than just once.... the bass plays it the last few measures of the song, just before the end. Also the end of The Mirror (with the keys lightly tapping out 5 keys/chords) appears during Lie's guitar solo. If you describe the part between the last choruses where John starts the wah pedal, its there too. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 May 1995 01:46:44 -0400 From: email_address_removed (Steve Cohen) To: email_address_removed Subject: 93 million miles Message-ID: >"I have come 93 million light years to Earth, for I have heard >across the galaxy about the greatness of an Earthling band named Dream >Theater.

A couple of > questions that actually haven't been answered (like the who on WDOA > thing). Who sings on the Beatles covers and where is Don't Look Past Me from? We're not sure, but suspect Dominici, to be to blame for that Beatles cover, and it was Jon Hendricks at the vocal helm for DLPM. Damn, even having heard A Change of Season over 100 times (or more) in the production of the Subconscious project, I still find it incredible. It's so deep, it's like Dream Theater's own melding of The Fountain of Lamneth and Hemispheres, where I find A Mind Beside Itself to be more like 2112 only set up in the Hemispheres fashion.

Message-ID: I'm also a big fan of Light Fuse and TOWHTSTS. LFAGA makes me really wish the album had been well-produced...The guitar solo is totally awesome (I love the way it screams at the end) but you can't hear half of it because it has too much reverb and it doesn't cut through the way it should because there's too much midrange. Never mind James, that alone makes me wish someone had a newer, live recording of the song that I could get my hands on. I'm just glad they didn't totally screw up the keyboard sounds too, because Kevin's solo in that song is killer. -max ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anton Max | "Then, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!"

Message-ID: SUBCONSCIOUS CD Update!! Current update: 5/1/95 Due to a cancellation, there are some copies still available! Go ahead and send orders in... CHECK THE NEW ADDRESS LISTED BELOW. If you wish, email me at email_address_removed to make sure I have a copy to save for you. Keep an eye on the Ytsejam as people are posting reviews of Subconscious right and left. So far, nobody wants to kill me. For this I'm relieved. :) THE BLANKS ARE HERE! THE SHIPMENTS ARE HAPPENING! :) The first 140 or so have gone out. You may be wondering, When will you get *your* copy? I'm sorry that I can't say for sure. Some days I get 20 copies mailed out, other days only 5. I'm doing my best, of that much I can assure you! :) By the way, THANKS to all of you who have sent "Dream Theater Bits" and extra postage, and other gifts of goodwill, I really am enjoying them! The DT-related stuff (newspaper clippings, computer art, concert ad copies, etc) are a real treat to check out. All my friends are enjoying it! I really would like to thank you. 1. Orders received 2. A quick review: what the hell IS Subconscious, and how can I get it? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 1. Orders received Here is a brief list of the orders that I have received, paid, and the CD numbers you will all be getting... if you are on this list, I have your order IN MY HAND and you are DONE, FINITO... all you need to do is kick back, relax, toss back a Kypler's, and wait for my CDs to come in the mail to me, and subsequently, to you. :) I _am_ keeping a copy of this list, in case future authenticity issues arise, you can be assured of the full _value_ of your Subconscious CD. Given the number of DT albums sold total, there is one Subconscious CD for every 11,700 Dream Theater fans. Not a bad ratio eh!! Every copy is numbered and initialed in gold to make it very hard to counterfeit. A quick note: you will notice I have set aside a few low numbers for Kaoru, and I have done this because most of the Japanese Ytsejammers will be doing a group order through her, and I wanted to get *some* of the low #'s to the land of the Rising Sun, tis only fair after all. :) That's the only orders that are not yet paid, because I'm awaiting it in the mail. 000 Original press master copy (CD-R Gold) 001 Glass master disc 002 Final press master #1 003 Mike Bahr :) 004 Mike Portnoy 005 Mike Portnoy 006 Kevin Moore 007 Michael Burstin 008 Brian Cox 009 Chris King 010 Jenn Albert 011 Alfredo Cappello 012 Andreas Schaefer 013 Kaoru Kobayashi (reserved) 014 Kaoru Kobayashi (reserved) 015 Kaoru Kobayashi (reserved) 016 Kaoru Kobayashi (reserved) 017 Kaoru Kobayashi (reserved) 018 Kaoru Kobayashi (reserved) 019 Kaoru Kobayashi (reserved) 020 Kaoru Kobayashi (reserved) 021 Timo Haanpaa 022 Timo Haanpaa 023 Timo Haanpaa 024 Timo Haanpaa 025 Timo Haanpaa 026 Timothy Byrd 027 Timothy Byrd 028 Timothy Byrd 029 Steve Chew 030 Mark Stahl 031 Cheryle West 032 Paul Poehler 033 Douglas Slauson 034 Stephan Dobay 035 Stephan Dobay 036 Jason Macdonald 037 Jeff Chew 038 Jeff Chew 039 Jeff Chew 040 Bernd Basmer 041 Jeff Stewart 042 Brian Anderson 043 Brian Anderson 044 Michael Van Opstall 045 Greg Bunker 046 Albert Balkiewicz 047 Albert Balkiewicz 048 William Buckley 049 William Buckley 050 Jamie Burks 051 Joel Gregie 052 Uffe Moller 053 Uffe Moller 054 Andy Dixon 055 Anna Davidson 056 Randy Collins 057 Brian Vivier 058 Brian Vivier 059 Bill Nottingham 060 Alfredo Cappello 061 Alfredo Cappello 062 Andreas Schaefer 063 Timo Haanpaa 064 Eric Gauthier 065 Eric Gauthier 066 Michael Backof 067 Tim Altman 068 Mathew Yee 069 Christopher White <- this has to be the coolest number :) 070 Alex Fraser 071 Jason Breitweg 072 George Sorsby 073 Brian Polka 074 Kristian Reyes 075 Dave Fausel 076 John Kotzian 077 Matthew Berger 078 Paul Humm 079 Brent Phillips 080 Bob Holder 081 James Runde 082 Krysten DeBroka 083 R.

I've proven to be far from perfect with these orders... Also, I just bought a new desk to keep all this stuff in order with, so a few envelopes might have slipped in between the cracks. If you sent your order a decent long time ago and it hasn't shown up, tell me. I'll either be able to solve the puzzle or I'll join you in befuddlement. :) 2. What the hell IS Subconscious, and how can I get it?!? Subconscious is a CD, a project I undertook simply because I thought maybe it should be done. It's totally privately financed, and I think with the number of reservations that have been made, I will come out of it with my head above water, for which I owe the trustworthy members of Ytsejam a bow of gratitude. :) NOTICE: This CD, I found out, is grey-area legality, because: 1. It's for promotional purposes only, not for resale, and; 2. It's not for sale. What you're actually purchasing from me is psychic advice. I'm throwing a free CD in with every session. Notice all of my messages end with "Take care"? That's pretty good advice! :) 3. The cost only covers manufacturing and shipping. I barely make minimum wage. Maybe I should turn myself in to Immigration! :) But seriously folks... as pertains to the issue of legality, I'm not trying to make myself out to be some sort of arrogant ass. I'm doing this project for the benefit of the Jam, and DT is overlooking it for now (here's hoping they don't take offense to it...) I'm not making a killing doing it, and it's taking an awful lot of time to get done. I sincerely thank all of you Jammers who have had nothing but kind words for my efforts, and I implore those of you who might not think very highly of my project here, to please, give me the benefit of the doubt on this one. Friends? :) And yes, the members of Dream Theater are all going to receive complimentary copies. Let nobody say I'm a tightwad. :) What happened was, I felt it was time to release some of Dream Theater's rarer songs on CD, and thus I sought good copies from everywhere, including some that came from sources connected directly to the band! Thus, I think I can safely say that these are the best copies you can find outside of those in Portnoy's vault at home. (God, I'd love to peruse HIS tape collection... we might find DT covering "Blazing Saddles" or something) I bought a CD burner and rented equipment from a CD pressing plant nearby, so I could produce the discs. They will have printing on them and a liner cover. I had to order blanks and jewelcases in lots of 500 or more, though, and thus the risk was made: I emptied my bank account and placed the order. Fortunately, it seems I will make up the difference with CD sales. The blanks made it and I'm underway filling the orders. The price is $25.00 US per disc. It was originally going to be $27.50, but the CD place had a good price on blanks. Its true, as one Jammer pointed out, that I could have kept the higher price and said nothing about the blanks being cheaper than before... and nobody would have known. I did it in hopes of furthering the fans-for-fans attitude that has (thankfully) already spread throughout the net, and to make sure this project is seen as distinct from those of the high-and-mighty quality-none big boot CD pressers. The CD pressing plant I got all my materials from previewed my current master, and decided it just wouldn't do. Without charging me a penny more for another glass master, they agreed to take on the job of fully digitally remastering the disc! They gave me a great rate on the studio time too. So now it's done! The disc has been totally redone in Dolby Digital Surround Sound, compatible with any CD player but MUCH MUCH better than before, and compatible with Pro-Logic systems for full instrument separation on most tracks. The remastering involved a thorough noise cleanup and proper re-phasing of the instruments for center/left/right/surround. Things have, thankfully, been cleaned up as best they could be in the process, and I guess based on the early commentary on the CD by people on the Jam who have already received theirs, it seems that the quality is satisfying to the Dream Theater Fanatic. :) Here's the still-final tracklist: 1. Eve (live w/samples) (instrumental) 2. A Change of Season (live, JL on vocals) 3. O Holy Night (CD on vocals) 4. Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight (CD on vocals) 5. Don't Look Past Me (Jon Hendricks on vocals) 6. Wanted Dead or Alive (Rich Kern on the so-called vocals) 7. To Live Forever (acoustic version) (JL on vocals) 8. The Gorilla Session (Petrucci) 9. Mission: Impossible (Instrumental) 10. The Back Pain Jam (RPM Warehouse) (Instrumental) 11. Awake Heavy Jam (Instrumental) 12. Experimental (Petrucci) 13. Tears (JL on vocals) 14. Winter (JL on vocals) In some cases, the rawness of the original recording will be evident, but at least you know you're hearing it the best way it can possibly be reproduced. Subconscious is _the_ DT event of early 1995! :) Or at least, it will be until DT's EP comes out... and I'll gladly yield the title if it does. I love their music. Here's how to order: (or how to pay for your reserved discs) 1. Please use a money order. It's simply the best way, and they cost twenty to forty cents. Make it out to me for $25.00 per disc that you want (limit 5 to a person) and I am paying the shipping cost. Each CD will be mailed in a padded mailer so it won't get damaged. Please make out the money order to me, Michael Bahr, not to Feel The Rush or anything like that, since this is really just my own personal endeavor. I accepted checks for the Rush Video Montage, but a few bounced, and I was left holding the bag. I've put too much money into this, and can't afford to be stuck with bad checks, even though I trust 99% of you Ytsejam members. Plus, best of all, a money order can be traced by you, traced by me, and you know for a _fact_ that you will either get a CD, a refund, or I will get thrown in the slammer! :) 2. International customers, I know international money orders are expensive. If there is another way you wish to pay (wire, transfer, or other) let me know and if I can do it, we'll do it. So far just sending cash has been 100% successful, so I guess there's no real harm in it. If you choose to send cash, send it in a thick envelope so it is less risky. For orders of more than one disc, it is economical and safe to use a traveler's cheque. 3. Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery. By now, you know why. :) 4. I finagled myself a bigger mailbox at my apartment complex, so in order to keep the orders moving fast, send it to me at the new address. It is: Michael Bahr 3175 N. Price Rd. #1066 Chandler, AZ 85224 That's my real address, not a PO Box... so don't worry, I'm not planning on fleeing the country any time soon. If you happen to live in the Phoenix area feel free to call me at 602-777-0501. Besides all the CD stuff, I'm always up for lunch 'n' trading with local Jammers. I can't guarantee I'll be home very often to answer (always out buying supplies, or at work, or camping at the post office... grin) but if I'm there, we'll chat. 5. Send in your order: . Your NAME . The ADDRESS for me to SEND your CD(s) to . The NUMBER of CDs you're asking for . The money order, made out for $25, $50, $75, whatever . your EMAIL address, in case I need to contact you (emerg.) . (OPTIONAL) your home phone. I won't require home phone because I want you to all feel safe that I am not selling mailing lists. :) If you _do_ include it, I will use it in case of emergency (maybe the mailman spills coffee on your order and I can't read your address or something). 3. Original press masters... The gold disc is sold. The glass master, I didn't get to keep. That was sort of a sore point for me, since I paid for it, but the plant says they just re-use them anyway. Ah well. 4. Epilogue I am at email_address_removed and will remain there until the end of time, so please mail me if you are confused, need information, are angry, sad, lonely, maybe even a little whimsical, and need to get in touch with me. Thank you ALL for showing such solidarity that a 21-year-old college student emptied his bank account to order tons of plastic! :) You are truly, one and all, ladies and gentlemen, the best fans Dream Theater could hope for. Take care of yourselves, everybody... Rent the Ranma videos! They're cool! Look in the Japanese animation section. -Mike Bahr, email_address_removed, humble DT discog editor, anime' collector, videogame player, CD presser, bass player, guitar player, backup vocalist, beer drinker, laserdisc collector, and 4th generation toreador vampire.

The first chord in "Erotomania" matches the first keyboard chord in 6:00, starting at "Six o'clock and a siren kicks him from a dream." They are exactly alike. However, on "Erotomania," Kevin continues with a progression that is only found in "Erotomania." That second chord is just _not_ in "6:00." As for 1:30 of "Erotomania," I'm pretty sure that's not "Space-Dye Vest" Kevin's playing in the background. William Bazjek: "Innocence Faded" in "Erotomania?" Where?

If anyone knows what I'm talking about, let me know. > Hmmm, on their first real album 'Ultramega OK' (always the coolest titles) the cover the Lennon-'song' 'One Minute Of Silence', which is just what it sounds like. Almost silence for one minute, some amps buzzing, someone walking in the background. Actually according to the Soundgarden Discography on a.m.s the song was originally two minutes long, but Soundgarden only did Lennon's part, they left out Yoko's. I have always been thinking about covering Cage's 4:33, which is also just silence. Or any other of his strange compositions for that matter, it would be fun to see a normal rock-crowd's reaction to something like that. Soundgarden also did 'Come Together', but I haven't heard it. It's on some mega-expensive Japanese Import. ------- Also, sometime ago I read a lot of stuff here about your different bands, some of you use to cover DT-songs, and I'm curious about this. If you cover a DT-song, say PMU, do you do it good? I mean do you do all the complicated stuff or do you make it easier at parts? It takes some skill to play all DT-songs, and to do it well - uhhh...that's hard! Respect to all of you struggling with these harder covers and not just the runofthemill Green Day-Offspring-etc. If you are that skilled, do you write original material of the same kind, and if so, have you got a home-page with it sampled on, I'd like to hear! I know about Elan and they weremighty good, but I believe that there are others out there. Or do you not practice what you preach, do you play Nirvana-music the rest of the time (I like grunge-alternative-etc-shit, no offense!) ------- Last thing...I attended a drum-clinic yesterday with Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden, and it was one of the funniest STANUPCOMEDY-type-shows I've ever seen. This guy is just amazing. As for the drumming he said it himself: "Well, maybe you would've learned a bit more on a Dave Weckl-clinic", but I doubt that I hadn't been bored to death. ;-) Have Mike done any clinics? --- /Mats ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Apr 1995 21:23:18 -0700 (MST) From: Mark Tedhams To: email_address_removed Subject: Awake vid!

I would really like to get this and have bootlegs to trade so if anyone is interested and could help please email me at: email_address_removed Thanks.bye. - Mr.T finger me at: email_address_removed .............................................................................. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When temptation brings me to <> i\ /i my knees <> i \/ i And I lay here drained of <> i i a r k strength <> Show me kindness <> --------- Show me beauty <> i Show me truth <> i - J.Myung <> i E D H A M S ................................................................................ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ email_address_removed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ******************************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 May 1995 09:53:45 -0400 (EDT) From: An Angel's Kiss...
