Who has heard the new Einstein CD and what do they think about it? I am a huge Mover fan and I was wondering how I can get a hold of this disc. I heard from web pages that they opened for DT in NY for a couple of nights. Still I am having trouble trying to find links to the Einstein page or whatever label they're on. If any jammers have a clue, I would be most interested. I've been reading a few of the digests before writing in here just to see if I recognize any names, and yes, those of you with the DT sites all ring a bell here. About me, i'm a drummer from Wisconsin(der hey) and a long time DT fanatic along with any number of other prog-rock bands. At the moment I am on a concert binge, Rush was just here, OZZZZZZZZZZZ fest just came through and Queensryche is along in a few weeks. As for now, Milwaukee gears up for Summerfest, a 10 day music marathon. ( Actually a lot of it is an alternative marathon but its easy still to find some jems down there) Thats the straight dope from Milllerwau........Milwaukee. Don't forget about that Einstein question!!!!!!!!11 -deshiz- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 15:39:37 -0400 From: "Jeremy P.

I was curious to see whether or not the package got there, so I e-mailed 2 or 3 times with no response. Mika, if you got the package, e mail me and let me know! I sent it 3 weeks ago. If any jammers know who Mika is, drop em a line! Thanks, J ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 15:43:02 -0400 From: "Jeremy P.

"Surfing With The Alien" did a lot more for me than "Passion & Warfare" for about the first six months. But then... > My only gripe is: doesn't it really suck that Steve has seen fit to put > vocals down on Fire Garden? I'm not sure that whatever Steve Vai "sees fit" to do with his musical genius is not really for me to determine as "a good move" or "completely unnecessary." But personally I like his voice and simultaneously hope he doesn't do any singing on his next album. An artist is entitled to make whatever changes within his art that he "sees fit" to make, and shouldn't have to ask anyone's permission to do so. Just as The Artist himself. (aka PRINCE) > He also uses a couple of runs on Fire Garden that are just lifted and > transposed from Passion and Warfare, which I found disappointing. Could be part of his style. Even Petrucci isn't immune to repeating himself. (DREAM THEATER CONTENT DREAM THEATER CONTENT) > He still rocks though, and remains probably in the top five "People I'd > Like to Meet" chart! Wear sunglasses. The green bolts of lightning that fill the skies above him when he walks around outside can really hurt your eyes. Oh yeah, I've moved into Lander Hall for the summer quarter, and my e-mail address is unchanged. So I'm most likely going to be here for the next nine weeks. Love me, that's all I ask of you.

YOU HAVE. I KNOW IT :) You're right, here...they've presented a few images over the years, and the band's "look," prior to "Operation: Mindcrime" is somewhat embarassing. But they played a pretty aggressive and experimental brand of metal prior to that point. "Roads to Madness" off of "The Warning" is my own personal favorite from the Queensryche canon, and, at 10 minutes, with the elaborate arrangement, I think we could safely call it "progressive." >> - Fates Warning. > > More prog than prog. Good band, but like coffee, it's an aquired taste. >Go get "Parallels" or "Inside Out" and judge them for yourself. > Personal fav songs of theirs : "Kyrie Eleison" (The Spector Within, 1985), >"Eye to Eye" (Parallels, 1991), and "Monument" (Inside Out, 1994). This >band is good if you like the progressive side of Dream Theater. They're a >metal band, but not very heavy. The guitar sound is distorted, but thin, >and the drummer shows off alot. It all fits into the music quite well, but >like Derek Sherinian said, "There are reasons why Fates Warning is not on a >major label." I actually agree with the above assessment, but to many people, Fates Warning is really just a knock-off of Queensryche. I certainly don't agree, but I've heard the argument made. In any event, I like "Parallels" best, by far, with the last two fighting "Night on Brocken" for second place. Five Gratuitous CD's: ===================== 1. Marillion: Misplaced Childhood 2.

What this means is QR no longer has a record company backing it and also means no more tour promotion. So I suppose as screwed as DT's label is, it could be worse.

I just found the last Warrior Soul release "Odds and Ends" at a crappy little metal store in the middle of a Yuppie Cleveland mall and I must say it is a CRIME that the title track to "Last Decade Dead Century" never made it past demo and got put on the albu!! This tune is abso-fucking-lutely fantastic!!! Truly one of the greatest tunes I've heard from this band , which I just got into as a result of taking a chance picking up their first CD from the $5 bin at Record Exchange.

Much like having three opera vocalists singing different things at once, when three or more guitarists start wailing at the same time it's usually a big ball of atonal chaos. Just be thankful they didn't invite DT up onstage to sing "Silent Night." :) Six more days 'till Lilith Fair!! WOOHOO!!

Also, two more days until the QR show at Irvine Meadows. I'll be there with a former Jammer (Dave Fernquist) so stop on by and say hey! I'm an old fart with Brown hair, beard and glasses and I'll probably be wearing one of my Marijuana shirts.
