Message-ID: I have two announcements. One for the T-Shirts and one for the Videos. Videos- everything is going great and the videos are already shipping. Due to popular demand, I have added several selections from Mike's video vault to the list of available video tapes. Consult the web page at:http://www.goodnet.com/~durnik for full details. There is currently no backlog of video orders. All current video orders received, went out in Saturday's mail. So as you can see, I have avoided curse of Mike Delay Syndrome. T-Shirts- Most of you inquiring about the T-Shirts wanted to buy them at the end of the summer. Since this coincides with the influx of jammers returning to school, it makes the most sense for me to run the print run then. While orders will remain open on this item, the shirts will be delivered on or about the start of the school year, so those of you with current orders in may (a) wait and get it then, via first class mail, the day they get finished, with a small surprise, or (b) get a refund and re-order closer to shipping time. Either way is OK with us and we're trying to be as flexible as possible for those of you who are supporting us so wonderfully. - Mike Bahr - email_address_removed - http://www.goodnet.com/~durnik ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 02:02:19 -0400 From: "Elv" To: Subject: Re: Crimson Glory Message-ID: Someone wanted to know what's going on with Crimson Glory: Well, a new album is supposed to be in stores any day now. It's called -Prophecy:Gateway To The Stars- It's was recorded with the original line-up (transcendence-era) minus Midnight. they have a new vocalist who is said to be great. That's all the info I have, anyone want to add something?

Message-ID: This is just a statement from East West that the album will be out sometime in 1997. So nothing new...However, D-Man, September would be a bit risky because many releases come out that time, so it could well come out Oct/Nov when the dust settles. ________________________________ "I had so much time on my hands then suddenly, it washed away" --------------------------------------------- "These are my wings to fly These are the winds to sail So let as time goes by Mind over matter prevail" ________________________________ D A V E K I N G b a s s & h a r m o n y M T 2 0 p r o g r e s s i v e m e t a l http://websites.maxess.ch/mt20 IRC : DaveKing ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 97 10:59:27 +0200 From: nga@software-ag.de (Neil Gallop) To: email_address_removed Cc: email_address_removed.de Subject: Moist/DT Question Message-ID: Hi all last week I managed to get my hands on a copy of the album 'Creature' by the Canadian band Moist, so here is my somewhat biased opinion. This is an album that I was really looking forward to. Their first album 'Silver' is one of the best debut albums I've ever heard, so I was a bit worried that they may not be able to match it - well, I needn't have worried, because 'Creature' is even better. It carries on where 'Silver' stopped and then some more. The songs are more varied, but each has the distinctive Moist feel to it, some remind me a little of Alice In Chains, whereas others are the sort of song that Pearl Jam would love to be able to write. A couple of the songs have definite radio potential and should be played by open-minded DJs everywhere - this band deserves success. This music is not alternative, it is not grunge, it is not Brit pop, it is simply Moist and I can whole-heartedly recommend this album and this band to those of you who like a wide range of music. Just for the record, my personal favourites are 'Leave It Alone', 'Tangerine' and 'Baby Skin Tattoo' (love the title). Question time: what's the link between Dream Theater and Prong (RIP)? There is one and I know the answer.

I don't think anyone who knows what they're talking about would say that Satch was better than Vai in cold hard technical terms, I agree. I also tend to listen to Vai much more now than Satriani, although it was the other way around when I was but a baby shredder. My only gripe is: doesn't it really suck that Steve has seen fit to put vocals down on Fire Garden? You'd think that Rescue Me or Bury Me would have been enough. Because of this, I still believe Passion and Warfare to be the absolute high-point of his career, with such inventive instrumental music. He also uses a couple of runs on Fire Garden that are just lifted and transposed from Passion and Warfare, which I found disappointing. He still rocks though, and remains probably in the top five "People I'd Like to Meet" chart!

In the last Jam somebody asked for Crimson GLory. I've read some time ago that they are doing a new record in the style of "Crimson Glory" and "Transcendence" but unfortunatly without Midnight... Now I have a question: Does anybody know anything about the new (third) Shadow Gallery CD?

Hoit" To: "'email_address_removed'" Subject: Queensryche in Seattle Message-ID: I did not see one other DT shirt in the place. I wore mine and Bafu found me. It was very windy so they couldn't put up the sheet/picture/screen? thing in the back. What was is for? They played a good combo of old and new songs. I wish they would've played Best I Can, though. Geoff sounded great and only skipped out on a couple of high notes. The new stuff went over a lot beter live, IMO. Even Get a Life was pretty good.

Message-ID: So Binky and I are just getting out of the Subway at the South Station stop, and Steve Vai rides by on his bike. I waved and yelled, "Steve!" like the crazed fan that I am. Steve turned and looked. Then turned back. Then he turned back to Binky and I and waved. While riding a bicycle on the deadly streets of Boston no less! Heh. Oh, sorry, the show -- Ummmm..... Robert Fripp started off playing some pretty wacked guitar synth-on-crack stuff. ("You can't afford one of these so just sit there and listen to me play this stuff, okay?") Kenny Wayne Shephard hit the stage at around 7:30 and kicked it blues style. Somewhat phat. Vai was next, and although his set was enjoyable, too many times whammy bar wanking substituted real notes. (IMHO) Mike, Mike and Phil were awesome. Satch came on last. He ruled. Stu did a bass solo and it was way slick. Then the other guitar dudes came out at the end and jammed. Kinda cool to see. Well, there's my G3 review in a nutshell. In case anyone is thinking about going, definitely go, but bring those earplugs. Four guitar players wailing away at once is, well, like, really loud.

Campbell" To: email_address_removed Subject: Cryptic Writings, Visions Message-ID: Hey Gang, Just wanted to give my opinions on the new Megadeth and the new Stratovarius if anyone is interested. CRYPTIC WRITINGS: Megadeth has again put out a very good disc. It seems to have quite a few faster tunes than Youthanasia, and is a bit heavier in most places. Lotsa cacthy tunes, but not quite the consistensy of Youthanasia IMO. Bottom line: if you liked Youthanasia and Countdown, you will prolly dig this one also. VISIONS: Stratovarius has definitely topped themselves with this fantastic disc. I wouldn't say it totally 'Blows Away' Episode, but it does top it. More catchy melodies and great guitar-keyboard neo-classical shredding. Best new disc I have purchased since 'Divine Wings of Tragedy' by Sym. X (which by the way is a must for anyone with a shred of dignity :) For anyone who liked the last 2 Strat discs, you should make a point to get this one for sure. -rob ------------------------------ Date: 23 Jun 97 16:22:55 +0200 From: "Ollila Marko" To: Ytse Jam (Dream Theater Mailing List) Subject: Stratovarius Message-ID: Greetings ye 'jamanoids! First of all, a big hello from Timo T., Timo K. and Jens of Stratovarius to all jammers. Phillip: > I also got the new Stratovarius "Visions" a couple of weeks back. WOW! > This is a good one. These guys are really at the top of their game and > I don't think they get the attention they deserve amongst DT fans. The They will. You and me, among others will make sure of that, won't we? I believe that once Stratovarius finishes their South American and European tours, Timo Kotipelto the singer will join us here in the 'jam. At least that's what he told me yesterday. > only complaint I have about them are their lyrics...but they're easy to > look over because it's just so good. Very listenable disc.

Brandon: >I think that this is on all the CDs. My friend just got this as well and >told me about the same problem. This is kinda curious. The European NOISE release of "Visions" has no live songs on it, but there's a Windows AVI video clip of "The Kiss of Judas" on the disc. Are you telling me that the U.S. version doesn't have this video clip on it? Does anyone know what the unlisted live song is? Can anyone quote me some of the chorus lyrics that I could recognize the song for you? >Guys: Get the Stratovarius album titled "episode." It kicks major buns. Amen! And for the minor buns, get "Fourth Dimension"! >The guitarist reminds me a lot of Petrucci and sometimes Steve Morse (ala >"tumeni notes") on the 8th track of the album. I'm reluctant to buy prog >that I haven't heard because more than once I have been disappointed. My >friend had this up at school and he let me borrow it. This is now one of >my favorite prog bands. I haven't gotten "visions" yet, but plan to. Way to go, Brandon! Yesterday, when I was on stage taking some photos of Stratovarius, I took a look at the foggy lake the stage was beside while the band played the ending of "Forever". It was pretty moving stuff, it was one of those things money can never buy.
