I used to think 'Inside Out' was sombre and depressing but Perfect Symmetry comes close on the 'last rites' level :) I've also recently got hold of Anthrax - 'Stomp 442', and Sepultura - 'Roots'. Both are really outstanding examples of decent powerful metal. Get 'em in=A8 Can anybody tell me what the new Asia album -'Arena' is like?. Thanks. Ashley. ------------------------------ Date: 11 Mar 1996 09:22:09 GMT From: "Steven Johnson" To: email_address_removed Subject: YTSEJAM digest 1337 Message-ID: *** Reply to note of 03/10/96 11:26 Andy Bunk...E-MAIL ME!!!!!!

Puhleeeeezz do not let this list degenerate into another Mac v. PC debate! I hate those! Even though there is only a trickle of posts on the subject, I can see it coming. Whole mailing lists have gone straight to the crapper when members start fighting that battle. Let's not go ther, huh? Besides, Macs suck (just kidding :) Oww!

Since the definition of "progressive" is varied, don't be afraid to submit even if you're not sure. - Bands, solo acts and studio projects are all eligible. Most solo acts submit under a band pseudonym. - You can submit any number of songs you want, but if it's more than three (3), be sure to note your top three (3) preferences in order. In all likelyhood, only one song per band will be used. - For evaluation, you can send any format (except vinyl...). for the final product, we will need (in order of preference) either CD-R, DAT or VERY high quality tape. Final submissions must be "releasable quality" which can range from hi quality home recordings to studio masters. - If you're not sure about the quality of your submission, send it anyway; you'd be surprised what some fancy mastering can do. - Submissions are NOT returned. DO NOT SEND YOUR MASTERS FOR SUBMISSIONS. If your submission is selected and you haven't already sent your best copy or master, we will then ask you for a master which WILL be returned if you send us a Self Addressed, Postage Paid envelope. - There's no set limit on song time lengths, but the idea is to get as many bands involved in this as possible, so don't screw yourself by only submitting a twenty minute song. - There will be a small, yet-to-be-determined royalty based on units sold. If your band is selected to be included, you will received a simple contract which explains the details of all this. Accepted bands are NOT committed to DREG Records in any way. - It's a good idea to do a trademark search on your band name. A few of the band names already submitted sounded familiar... - Make sure to include the phone # and address of a single contact person along with your submission. - Approximate Time frames: March/April - band selection and notification April/May - contracts and other details May/June - mastering, artwork June/July - duplication July - release Send your submissions to: DREG Records Attn: Compilation CD 1912 Old Stonemill Drive Cranbury, NJ 08512 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Mar 1996 12:41:20 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Cover Art of Awake Message-ID: I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed already... but... It seems that many (or perhaps all) of the songs on Awake are somehow depicted in the cover art of the album (6:00, The Mirror, etc.). I can't however find an adquate match for EVERY song on the album... this is either because not all the songs are represented or because I am missing something. Can someone enlighten me on the subject. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Mar 1996 12:55:07 -0500 (EST) From: Elliott Kim To: Dream Thespians Subject: .sig file wars! Message-ID: There's the Digital Man's .signature file, and there are many others that have entered this no-holds-barred contest, but the true Big, Bad, Mo'Fo' .Signature file that can kick all youse asses is the big-ass, scrolling for many pages upon pages, Fates Warning .sig that appeared many months ago, back on the .arastar.com Ytsejam - and was the cause of much flamage. Remeber that one? The dude had a huge ASCII "Fates Warning" and this big-ass tower and all the lyrics from "The Ivory Gate of Dreams." . . ..

Message-ID: LIMITED EDITION COMPACT DISCS Information and Update, Current to 03/11/96 1. Introduction Dear Ytsejammers, for those who don't know me (hmm... that's most of you), my name is Marcel Berkhout and I am the second guy (you all know the first one) on the Ytsejam list to make bootlegs. I'm from Holland, keep that in mind if you find any typos :) Like Mike Bahr I'm not out to scam all of you and make huge amounts of money. I'm really into bootlegs and this is the perfect way for me to broaden (sp?) my horizons (wow!) As you can see I took the liberty of copy-ing Mike Bahr's update-style. I think it's something you all are familiar with and it's easy to read. 2. What is 'Carpe Diem - LIVE will not always be this way' This was my 4th Dream Theater concert of the year and probably one of the most memorable 'cause they played ACOS!! It was recorded on the 8th of July this summer during an outdoors festival called 'Bospop' (Please don't ask me why it's called that way). Dream Theater didn't headline the festival, but judging from the amount of people wearing DT t-shirts most of them came to see DT :) A friend of mine recorded the show with his portable DAT-recorder, so the quality of the recording is great, especially for an outdoor show. Aahh hell might as well tell you all the truth.... the only negative thing I can think of is that there are some people (with no vocal ability whatsoever) can be heard from time to time during the 'easier' and 'slower' songs (LSOAD and Another Day). I hope this doesn't bother to many people. Because DT didn't headline the festival they only played for 70 minutes. The setlist was : Intro Under a Glass Moon Lifting Shadows of a Dream Voices A Change of Seasons Another Day Pull me Under [encore] 6:00 The booklet is finished and looks great! 10 FULL color pages with pictures from the Bospop Festival, you'll be surprised! 3. How can I order a copy of 'Carpe Diem'? I'm not out to compete with Mike Bahr, so my prices will be exactly the same as his. I ship orders in the order I received your checks, so those of you who sent your mail around when ordering began, those will be the first CDs out the door. I expect to begin shipping at the end of April/beginning of May. Feel free to e-mail me to reserve a copy for you, so that you will have a copy saved for you before you send your order in the mail. A lot of people mailed me asking for CD #15 or CD #145. When you order your cd let me know your favorite number, and I'll see what I can do for you. The pricing for the CD so far is as follows. Base cost: $ 25.00 US Postage: $ 3.00 US ---------- Total: $ 28.00 US Things are pretty simple from here. Send mail including: -> * Your name, mailing address, and e-mail address <- -> * The check, cash money, or money order for the amount <- -> * How many cd's you are ordering. <- International customers may use whatever means of payment is most convenient for them, though I stress that sending cash is risky and should not be a first option, but a backup plan. If you send cash, please use registered mail and make sure that you can't see the money through the envelope! CHECKS: I don't know about international payment with checks (US -> Europe, or Japan -> Europe) but if it's possible, that's ok. In Europe however, there is a system called 'Eurogiro' which makes it possible to transfer money from your own account to mine. For more info about this system, please go to your local post office. I always recommend the traceable-both-ways Money Order as a preferred form of payment. So checks are OK; Money orders are Better. For dutch orders it's simple, e-mail me privately, and I'll send you my 'giro' (???) number to which you can transfer the money. Please make out checks and money orders to me, Marcel Berkhout The address is: Marcel Berkhout 'Carpe Diem' Assumburg 46 2402 KT Alphen a/d Rijn The Netherlands 4. The reservations (paid for) 'Carpe Diem - LIVE will not always be this way' orders PAID! (unpaid reservations not listed) Nr. Name e-mail address: 001 Master - 002 Marcel Berkhout email_address_removed.nl 003 Harrie Dechering decherin@xs4all.nl DON't Have a list YET, but I mailed all the people who's money I have received. 5. Famous Last Words To conclude my update I would like to thank everyone who reserved a copy. I hope that all of you actually order a copy :) If you have any questions about the project, feel free to e-mail me anytime. Thanks, Marcel Berkhout email_address_removed.nl ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Mar 1996 14:50:07 -0500 (EST) From: "Christopher R. Merlo" To: Ytse Jam Subject: I did it! I did it! Message-ID: Remember the game I mentioned a few Jams ago, trying to get from a band to Bill Bruford in six steps? I did it with DT! Here's the rules I imposed upon myself (otherwise, this may have been impossible! :) * Two people that were ever in the same band, not necessarily at the same time, is ok. (So, like, saying that Charlie Dominici and Derek Sherinian have both been members of the same band is an acceptable jump.) * Artist-producer relationships are also allowed. (It was the only way I could get it!) So, can you fill in the blanks? 1) Dream Theater 2) _________________ 3)__________________ 4)__________ 5) _____________ 6) _________________ featuring Bill Bruford Hint: None of the blanks, except #6, would be considered prog. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ \|/ ____ \|/ The Digital Man \|/ ____ \|/ "@'/ ,. \`@" email_address_removed "@'/ ,. \`@" /_| \__/ |_\ email_address_removed /_| \__/ |_\ \__U_/ http://www.emba.uvm.edu/~cmerlo \__U_/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Mar 1996 15:04:39 -0500 From: email_address_removed (acook) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 1336 Message-ID: >>Dont forget Gary Hoey! and also i believe Satch did too - although i >>may be wrong on that... > >Hey speaking of Gary Hoey, he was to put out a CD at Christmas time of >all Christmas songs.

(IMO - Flame away!) no flames here, just a few thoughts (uh oh:) i'd kinda like to see DT do some hard stuff for one track, just totally take a different turn, Have Jon grab that 7 stringer and run it through a death metal pedal and straight into an amp, cut the keyboards, and have some dude scream over everything :) One thing that caught my attention (this doesnt mean i dont like it, i'm just stating this) was that James will NEVER do anything un-melodic with his voice. just listen do the big medley on ACoS, on Rhapsody I feel he needed to get a little more grit on his voice, just my opinion though... anyone else? >I apologize for the non-DT content, but I just read something in one >of the digests that bothered me.
