Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Nicola du Plessis and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.

Sorry, I have to agree witht whoever said that it's music if the originator meant it to be music. Can I say that Industrial music is not music because it is not pleasing to my ear? No. So then the definition must mean pleasing to SOMEONE's ear. But what if there is someone out there who enjoys the sound of flatulence (like maybe the guy who recorded it)? Then it's music. > Besides, > this was about musicians, not music itself. :) True. Let's drop this now.

I meant to say Hole, though i don't really care for Silverchair either. Last time, somebody mentioned Robotech. Yeah, I remember it. it was my favourite cartoon many years ago, until some idiot decided to take it off the air just as the Third series was coming to a climax (they were jsut about to invade the Invid's main hive). It totally pissed me off to turn the TV on one day and find Popeye on instead of Robotech (I like Popeye alright, but still). You might want to try out the RPG also (if you haven't already). I haven't played it in years, but can remember it is quite good). Also, thanks for all the info on Savatage. I have been planning on getting DWD sometime, but didn't know what else to check out from them. I may be in the process of converting someone to DT. I've been having some e-mail discussion about Shakespeare w/a screenwriter out in LA, and she's really intrigued by PMU and the Hamlet connection (as well as a number of Maiden songs having to do w/literature). Just thought you might like to know that there may be another joining our ranks. God bless. Dale R.

On Tuesday, I finally received WDATU (#478) and then yesterday Antiquities (#082)! I thought I'd give my perspective of the lowdown on AQ. A Crack In The Mirror / The Mirror I have to agree with Keith Aspinall in that The Mirror without Lie is like peanut butter without jelly. The version of A Crack In The Mirror is a bit different than the version from the 1/24/95 PPV Japan show, and yet it is still just as good. The only complaint about The Mirror is James' vocals. At times, he pulls this deal where it sounds like he's singing with a scrunched face. That's as best as I can describe it. It just sounds...weird. Otherwise, his vocals are great and the band is as tight as ever. Take The Time / The Mists of Evening Excellent performance of TTT with its outro, The Mists of Evening, except James pulls that scrunched face deal again when he sings "go back to square one..." It sounds more like "geh beh da squaeh whe"! Under a Glass Moon I've never taken the time to appreciate this song, but I think this outtake from LATM has made me appreciate it. It rocks! A Change of Seasons If you liked the version of this song on Subconscious, then you'll love this one even more. Don't Look Past Me I have to admit, this song sounds MUCH better with James on vocals than Chris Cintron. Metropolis / The Killing Hand / A Fortune in Lies IMHO, the vocals in these auditions are too ornamental, meaning that they try doing too much with their voice. Maybe it's just that I'm accustomed to Charlie's and James's studio versions of these songs and I like the way those were recorded. Nonetheless, they are interesting to listen to; to see what Dream Theater _could_ have been. Well, in the words of Porky Pig, that's all folks! I hope I've given some of you out in Ytsejamland a reason to purchase this CD. Mike Bahr did a great job (once again!) in compiling Antiquities. Definitely worth the $25.

Some DT content Message-ID: I saw that someone commented on Bob Dylan and his LACK of singing ability. I agree (not that it matters) but his songWRITING is worth a listen. HOWEVER, when the Rolling Stones covered his song Like A Rolling Stone, Mick Jagger shouldn't have been given a harmonica. His playing is absolute crap. They should have taken it away from him and shoved it up his butt. He would have played it better, although it still would have sounded like crap (pun intended). I did find another copy of the Silent Man single at a store recently. If you want it, e-mail me privately and we will discuss the details.

Yes he was a prodigy, but he most certianly studied the counterpoint of Bach and wrote in his style as an excercise. It was through this study that he learned the principles of harmony and counterpoint, which he then expanded to suit his own creative vision.

I was shocked to find that fans that are >die-hard enough to wade through the moderated, but still rather voluminous >TNMS would be so opposed to that which separates casual listeners from >die-hard fans. >Are any Jammers opposed to bootlegs? Well, I've always wondered about this one. Why are bands so opposed to boots? I think all bands know that pretty much the ONLY people who purchase boots are fans that already have ALL of the bands officially released material -- or are at least well on their way to acquiring it all. I mean -- come on -- if you only like a band enough to get one or two of their records why would you spend $40 on a bootleg that doesn't sound great? I take the Mike Bahr philosophy towards boots: I think they are ok as long as one already has all (or virtually all) of the band's official material (domestic and import) and the stuff on the boot is stuff that the band hasn't made availible (weird covers of songs, different singers, etc.). I guess that's one and the same thing, eh? Oh well, that's just my two cents.

Last week, one person posted that he saw an EJ boot in a store and asked for an opinion on weather the price was too high or not. The manager didn't like him posting that so he kicked him off! Well I have a pretty nasty temper at times, so I bitched the manager out pretty harshly and unsubbed before he kicked me off too. ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 1417 **************************
