Message-ID: First, I just got my Subcon CD yesterday (thanks Mike). I was wondering why none of the last names of the members nor the word "Dream Theater" was on the CD. Example... On the back it says: "Subconscious is James, John, Mike, James, and Derrek". Is it a legal thing? Also I really like the cover...simple but cool. Does it have a meaning? How were most of these songs recorded? Where can I find the lyrics for it? Also just wondering if anyone knows the # of subscribers to the list. It would be interesting to know. ____________________________________________________________________________ "...sorrow and pain she'll never outgrow; Death is the first dance, eternal..."

Checked out Tom Pierce's Rock Rarities Price Guide off the netcom server the other day, and lo and behold, the entry for Subconscious had changed... now that it's out of print, it's listed as selling for $75 new (average net price) and was rated 5 stars out of 5. Needless to say, I appreciate the good rating, but now I'm hitting myself over the head for selling all the copies at the regular rate of $25! :) If I'd known the price would jump like that, I'd have kept a few. What brought this to my attention to post to the list, was concerned mail from some people who were complaining that this sets sellers of Subconscious up to gouge people. I don't see as how I can be any help, but I hope nobody sells it for really bad prices... I'd hope nobody takes up an offer that is too high. But I really can't do anything about it if someone offers it for $75 and it sells... In other, better news... Cygnus is, to quote Pocahontas, "Just around the riverbend!!!" To follow, Acoustic Dreams. I *might* be able to squeeze Live's first album, "Death of a Dictionary" (looooong out of print) onto it also, would anyone be okay with that? If not, I'll continue to gather other DT rarities to include. Those of you who still want a chance at the videos... there are some slots left still, so get those pre-orders in! If nothing else, you'll get your CD sooner than if you wait. :) $23 check or Mo to: Mike Bahr 3175 N.

Thanks guys! I'm going to spend the interim getting Acoustic Dreams together. Here's the no-wait address and cost. Read on for further info on the CD. $23 check, money order, or cashier's check/traveler's cheque to: Michael Bahr 3175 N. Price Rd. #1066 Chandler, AZ 85224 PLEASE SPECIFY that it's Cygnus you want. I do a lot of mailing and may not realize what it is that's being purchased. QUICKIE UPDATE: Well, we're still just waiting on delivery, that's all... everything else is done. I have mailing packets, stamped and addressed to the first 60 or so orders, sitting open like baby sparrows, waiting to be fed a CD and sent. :) Because of how long it's taken my supplier (who assures me the CDs will be on their way *real soon now*, I've done a redundant order with an out-of- state company. Whichever gets here first, that's what I use. This time, I know what I'm doing, so I'll have a lot of shipments ready-to-go when the CDs are out of the gate, so to speak. ACOUSTIC DREAMS: Also known as Dream Theater Unplugged. I have begun work on this already and will begin taking orders for it shortly, possibly when the shipments of Cygnus are in (why have two pre-order things going at once...) or earlier if you all want. More info on this CD in a moment. SUBCONSCIOUS: The CDs are finally _gone_. Every copy has been sold. I've even sold my own personal extra copies. I can't believe this was so popular! Will Subconscious ever be made again? Unless some Italian company copies it, I am sorry to say it will not. One of the explicit conditions I set forth when I made the disc was that it would be very special and limited, and I would be breaking my confidence with the people who have bought it under the understanding it would be a unique, rare release. I swear I don't mean to make people miss out... but a promise is a promise. Would people trust me when I say "get it now" if they could get it a year later? I calculate not. :) THANKS EVERYONE for being a part of this! You all RULE! :) DISCLAIMER: Cygnus falls into a grey area under law as an uncopyrighted recording produced in such a manner that at least one facet of the production occurs in a country (namely Italy) in which it is legal to do so. In the USA, it is permissible to sell used import CDs only if they are labeled as such. This is such a CD. Be aware that the various powers-that-be are collecting nothing for this. Of course, that's all cover-my-butt lawyerspeak. I hope you all will want to be a part of this. I make roughly minimum wage doing it, so you know I'm not out to scam you. In all humility, I appeal to anyone who might not think too kindly of my endeavor, and ask that they might give me the benefit of the doubt on this one. Friends? :) 1. What the hell is Cygnus? 2. When can I order and how? 3. For that matter, what the hell is Acoustic Dreams? 4. Orders received. ============================================================================= 1. What the hell is Cygnus? Hi all, I'm Mike Bahr, humble maker of special edition CDs. Earlier this year, I made available a special, _very_ limited edition Dream Theater CD called Subconscious. I didn't know if the project would work at all, since I had to use my own money to finance the project, and had to be very close on costs to even make it a non-loss financially. But you responded, Ytsejammers! The CD sold, sold, and sold some more. In fact, the entire limited edition print of 500 copies, each hand-numbered and signed in gold by myself, sold out entirely to you, the most devoted fans of Dream Theater on earth. And I do mean _Earth_! I got orders from the USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Israel, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Greece, and a few more countries I am sure I have forgotten to mention. Truly, the WORLD made Subconscious a success for me and for the Jam, so I'm going to hope that Cygnus will be another one! My heart goes out to all of you in every country of the world for joining in! What I did was work with a pressing plant using rental equipment and some of my own as well, and an exhausting three months of preparation, packaging, and mailing, not to mention production of the CD, and a million other things, and made it a reality. I was relieved beyond words when I read the positive comments people had for it online. Cygnus is the project I will do to fill the gap between Spring 1995's Subconscious and Autumn 1995's WHEN DREAM AND JAMES UNITE. Cygnus will be a recording from an ultra-rare Rush show, the single best sounding Rush show in existence, from the mystical Hemispheres tour of 1978-79. I will only print 1000 copies... beyond that, there shall be no more. Here's the information on the show. Title: Rush "Cygnus" Source: True soundboard reel-to-reel, original length 81 min Running time: 73 min Venue: Convention Center Arena (TCC Arena) Location: Tucson, Arizona Date: November 20, 1978 Generation: Transferred to 48kHz DAT from a 2nd gen analog. Quality: Beyond comparison. Higher than "Oakland '92" and "Pinkpop". Setlist: Anthem A Passage to Bangkok By-Tor and the Snow Dog I. At the Tobes of Hades II. Across the Styx III. Of The Battle Xanadu Something for Nothing The Trees Cygnus X-1 Book 1: The Voyage Cygnus X-1 Book 2: Hemispheres I. Prelude II. Apollo III. Dionysus IV. Armageddon V. Cygnus VI. The Sphere Circumstances A Farewell to Kings Note that La Villa Strangiato had to be cut or else I couldn't fit the Cygnus saga on the CD! I'm sorry about that, I hope it won't kill the experience for anybody. They had some sound problems during that song anyhow, so in a way, maybe you _don't_ want to hear it. Also on the original tape was a cut-off version of the beginning of 2112, the Overture and then half of the Temples section. In order to make Cygnus fit onto a single CD, I cut those seven minutes out of the DAT. Everyone has a live 2112 on ATWAS album, anyway. Now that I sort of "have the hang of it" where CDs are concerned, I have put together some colorful art for the CD and cover. For those who didn't get one, Subconscious had a gold-on-black motif, much like the Terminator-2 and Star Wars laserdisc box-sets. It was dignified, and direct. And now, for Cygnus, I want to really make people say "wow!" The cover is pretty wicked looking, I'll try and post a copy. 2. Where can I order and how? Okay, here's the deal. Anyone remember how long it took my blanks shipment to get to me when I did Subconscious? Twenty-nine days, it did. And I placed the order for Cygnus blanks a few weeks ago. Used a faster supplier. Now, this time, I originally had planned not to even ANNOUNCE Cygnus until I had the CDs in hand. However, so many of you are leaving for the summer and/or want early copies like last time, that I will go ahead and do a pre- order deal again. Why, you may ask, should I send the money, if I won't get the CD for a while, though? Well, you don't have to. But you can. I strongly urge you to consider it. Here's why. Here's how it works. I don't want anyone feeling uncomfortable sending me a payment when in all truth, your CD might take a month to get to you. So I will divulge as much information as I can to make it a sound decision on your part. For those who wish to wait, there will be NO penalty; simply order when I get the CDs in shipment. For those who order early, in an effort to reward their confidence in my project and in gratitude for them getting the ball rolling early, I will be shipping CDs out in the order they were received... thus, you'll get it sooner. Furthermore, this time I'm going to run a little contest. A random 25 people in the first 300 orders (this will be done with a computer randomizer) will get a free copy of a special video montage, just as an added bonus and a thank-you for being a part of this. I think I might make two or three different montages and throw them in at random into the sets... one Rush, one Dream Theater, one Live, one Queensryche and maybe one of all sorts of progressive bands. Or more! :) How to order!!! Remember when Subconscious came out, and I said certain costs were permanent, and had gone into the production cost? I didn't lie... Cygnus will be CHEAPER than Subconscious was. The price will be $23. For anyone in Canada ordering, add only $1 for postage. For anyone outside North America, add $2 for postage (so it would be the same price as Sub) and that will take care of it. There's a lot of bean-counting that I do to come up with those numbers, so trust me, it's what it amounts to. Plus, you can order as MANY Cygnus discs as you want, because you on the Jam are getting a shot at it before I offer it anywhere else. Please use a money order if you can. The reason is simple: it's safe! I know you paid and you know I have it (it's traceable). And you know if you don't get a CD or a refund, I'll go to jail. For international orders, I will indeed accept cash if you wish. I urge you to be careful, because every order for Subconscious that contained cash made it safely to me, but that might not always be the case. I don't want anybody to lose their money. For orders of 2 or more Cygnus discs, a travellers cheque or international money order is economical to use. If you decide to use cash, please wrap it tight in a thick envelope and try to hide it, so that nobody will steal it. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. It will actually be closer to 4 or 4 and a half weeks, but in order to be safe, I'm giving you the extreme possibility. Understand that, as with Subconscious, I'll be making every effort to get them sent fast and soon. And now, I know a few things I can be doing to get them done faster than I did with Sub... like pre-making the mailing lists, supplies, process, etc. Here's what to do. Send your payment, along with your Name, Address to ship it to, Internet email address (in case I need to contact you), how MANY CDs you want, and, optionally, your phone number. I say optionally, because I know some of you want to keep them unlisted. Send all this to: Michael Bahr 3175 N. Price Rd. #1066 Chandler, AZ 85224 (USA) If you wish to speak to me for any reason, including questions, comments, suggestions, or you just want to chat with another dedicated fan of Rush and Dream Theater, you are very welcome to call me at 1-602-777-0501. I am usually home between 11am and 9pm Mountain Standard Time. Please use this phone number with proper discretion, however, as I will be very confused if you call me at 3:00 in the morning. 3. What the hell is Acoustic Dreams? Well, this is the next CD I'm doing, also known as Dream Theater Unplugged. We were given a VERY high-quality soundboard tape of DT's recent Unplugged performance in Europe, and it can only be fully expressed in the form of a CD. Trust me. :) When can you order AD? Very soon, probably as soon as I get the materials in for Cygnus, so I can have two concurrent releases. I'm working on acquiring materials for it already. This will make me nearly broke this summer, but I've pre-paid my rent, and I can live without food for awhile. :) (yes, I'm exaggerating, but not by much. Time to run the first ever Ytsejam Canned Food Drive! ha!) Here's the tentative tracklisting from Acoustic Dreams... 1. Another Day (laid-back version) 2. Lifting Shadows off a Dream (IMHO, far better than the album version) 3. Wait For Sleep (acoustic GUITAR on this one, no piano!) 4. The Silent Man 5. Lie (boogie version) - this is really a trip to hear 6. Tears (Rush cover, done acoustically, very beautiful) 7. O Holy Night The thing is, there is only about 45 minutes of stuff there. I wish I could put Acoustic Dreams and WDAJU together, but WDAJU will be around 70 minutes. I'm looking for any other acoustic DT material you all might have... remember, leave out the acoustic To Live Forever since that was on the Subconscious CD. I may just put some other soundboard goodies on the tape, even if they are electric, such as the Perfect Strangers cover where Bruce Dickinson sings on it, and some instrumental goodies and/or song extras, whatever I can come across. One way or another, more music is going to be added to Acoustic Dreams, as much as I can acquire collectible material for it. 4. Orders received. This time, I'm in the thick of finishing the Sub project, and Cygnus is coming along just dandy as well... and I will be able to confirm that an order was received if you email me about it. I won't be posting a long list to the Jam because of complaints I received about the Sub listing. For the most part, all orders usually get through. If you want to confirm yours PERSONALLY, feel free to do so, via email or voice. Well that about wraps it up for this update of the CYGNUS CD project. Everyone be excellent to each other, and party on dudes! -Mike Bahr, email_address_removed "Or do you still wait for me, Dream (Theater) Giver, just around the riverbend...?" - Pocahontas ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 1995 22:48:44 -0400 (EDT) From: Partha Mukhopadhyay To: email_address_removed Subject: "regular" metal Message-ID: My main hook for getting uninitiated people to try DT is by saying they're sorta a mix between Rush and Metallica.....six months of getting ytsejams has taught me that Rush is cool with most folks, but there isn't that much mention of bands like metallica that play "regular" heavy metal (as opposed to DT/Fates Warning 'prog metal), and I was curious as to the opinions of y'all on that matter..... I also ask because I got my first copy of I&W from a Metallica fan who heard PMU on the radio, thought it sounded like Hetfield and Co., and then didn't really like the album and unloaded for about half-price :) partha ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jul 1995 00:21:46 -0500 From: email_address_removed (S. Craig Caldwell) To: email_address_removed Subject: DT & FW Message-ID: This may have been discussed before....if so, please ignore it - I've only been lurking around YTSEJAM for about 6-8 months, with this as my first real posting: Is it just me, or does the "Pull Me Under" video harken back to the cover of Fates Warning's "Parallels" CD, which happened to be released at about the same time as DT's I&W??? I've though this for several months, ever since getting "Parallels" and wondered if anyone else agreed (BTW, a huge ____THANK____YOU_____ to everyone who has mentioned and recommended Fates Warning on this list.....it inspired me to get "Parallels", which I now HIGHLY recommend in turn, in addition to "Inside Out" (their latest effort)). If you like DT, check out FW. Anyway, the old guy in the PMU vid reminds me of the guy on the Parallels cover, as does general scenario, as well as the little girl in the video. Just my imagination? (I'm sure you all HAVE already noticed that the statue recessed into the wall of the "Parallels" cover is straight off of FW's "Perfect Symmetry" cover, right?) Just curious...

I believe it contained mostly cover tunes (for some reason U2 and Springsteen keep coming to mind). I was in England about 2 1/2 years ago, and saw it at a record show/sale. I'm kicking myself HARD for not picking it up. Any info would be greatly appreciated. God bless. Dale R. Newberry "Man, when you lose your laugh, you lose your footing." R.P.

Message-ID: I know people say this a lot, but "DOES ANYONE KNOW IF DT IS TOURING IN THE US SOON?!?!?!?!?!" If someone's got ant info email me at "email_address_removed" Its a matter of life and death! All the DT sites on the web just give U.K. tour dates from 3 months ago. Also, can somebody tell me why Dream Theater's Japan releases have all these nifty bonus tracks? What about their fanatics in the U.S.A. ??? And, as far as my favorite member of DT, I would have to say John P.
