(Warning: actual DT content!) Message-ID: H'lo again! Well, I went and bought my stereo system last night. Onkyo/B&W audio, Sony video. Now I just gotta get out of this apartment so I can crank it up, as it sounds quite sweet... Anyway, they guy at the store only had jazz and classical for test CDs, so I brought in Marillion's 'Brave,' and 'Awake.' Played Erotomania, then LSOaD, then 6:00. The guy recognized 6:00 as something from the radio, and declared DT to be wonderful, and said he was going to go buy the album after he got off work! My first convert! Then, when we left the listening room, I set my CDs on the counter, and the other guy working there walks up, looks at them, and says "I thought I heard some Dream Theater in there." I was completely dumbfounded! --Jay "Dream Theater, two out of two Audiophiles recommend it." Omega -- SIX gratuitous CDs: (no, I won't always do this) -- 1. Arena - Songs from the Lion's Cage 2. Colosseum - Those Who Are About to Die Salute You 3. Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons 4. Grace - Gideon's Army 5. Phish - A Live One (disc one) 6.

Message-ID: >Love it. Love them all. Just bought a new live one called Dust in the >Wind from the EMI-Capital >Live Series for $5.99. Steve's voice is bad, but the band jams. I still like "Live at the Whiskey", good album. Steve's voice has gone down hill these days because he is getting older. Does anyone know if these two are the same or different. I looked at the track listing for the "Dust In The Wind" and thought these may actually be from the same show. Anyone have a clue?

"the horse that bud bought" still has it. give it more than one listen. trust me- i thoguht "machine fish" was crap (at first)...well, maybe not crap. but i was disappointed after a great album like SIYF. MF has grown a lot on me, and i like this new one as sort of a continuation on MF but with better guitars and more prominant vocals. >It disgusts me. oh well... to each his own. >I'm really getting sick of musicians totally upheaving and >changing their style to what is the current trend. i wouldn't say that this is the case for GC. i've talked to all the guys, and they've been into the grunge and other stuff from day one. they were always that type of band (heavy modern rock), but sam taylor polished 'em up a lot... alan produces some good modern acts like tellus and the wily gurus. monty is big into sarah mclaughlin, and he's also mentioned that he likes some of alice in chains and such. wally is a big retro freak- beatles, even a lot of yoko ono and some weird stuff... they aren't trying to "go for a certain sound" to make it big. hell, making it big will never happen on metal blade anyhow. they're just making music that they enjoy and are excited by. not everyone will like it, but that's the price paid, i guess. they still have a lot of metal influences, but it's not just from that angle anymore. what it is about an artist is that they meld what they like to hear and what they hear in their heads together to make their art. i wouldn't call them selling out... let's face it, not all bands can be the same. not everybody that is quote "good" has to play a certain style- like metal. not everybody can be a dream theater, or put out another album like "space in your face." i'm glad for diversity (though my wallet isn't so glad that i like so many different things). i think GC melds metal and some modern and retro feel together nicely. but that's just my take on it... >That IMO is a ploy to >sell out, and I never thought this band would. no. i don't see it as that. these guys are genuine. i've talked to wally the most, and he's totally gung-ho about what they're doing. they're doing it to make a living and to still express themselves. BTW, read the lyrics...i think they're a little better this time around. less (for the lack of using a better word) spacey, ambiguous, and "weird"...much more thought, if you ask me... >Congrats for having your name in the insert! :) thanks. disclaimer: that's not why i like the album. :) i liked it back when i got a dub tape from wally back in mid-may. i just think it's a solid record. that's all... $.02 Later, Dan ---+ +--- Dan Temmesfeld - mailto:email_address_removed "Home of the Galactic Cowboys Pages" http://www.cedarville.edu/student/s1133627/gcowboys.htm Summer 1997 Update site: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/1853/ ---+ +--- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 19:28:15 -0700 From: email_address_removed (Dr. Mosh) To: email_address_removed Subject: Fates Warning CALIFORNIA Message-ID: Hello Jamheads...

First off, you should check out German Music Express at http://www.musicexpress.com/ They have Time Lost (because I looked for it there, but managed to get a copy at the Enchant show last Saturday.... for $15). I've used this particular place for Angra and Symphony X, and they were very good. They only charge $3 shipping regardless of the size of your order, and send your order through certified mail (meaning you have to sign for it.) CDEurope, on the other hand, while they won't rip you off, they'll take their sweet-ass time getting the CD's for you. They do not have any stock, but merely have "suppliers" from whom CDEurope gets your stuff. You will likely wait two or three months for your order. I only recommend them if you *absolutely* cannot find an item of interest anyplace else. Happy hunting.

So far, 7 of you replied saying that such a gathering would be a good thing - so it sounds good to go! We will be meeting up at Texadelphia on Westheimer (I will send out the address to the respondants) on the Friday evening of August 8th. Why - why not? Get a chance to meet (in the physical world) your fellow city 'jammers and consume your body weight in cheese steaks in a single evening. Bring a friend if you deem it so to be.

Message-ID: I made a trip to my local used CD shoppe and happened to happen upon a few gems: Mahavishnu Orchestra, Paradise Lost, and one, Cathedral "Cosmic Requiem", that looked interesting. The name sounded familiar, but my mind was a blank beyond that point. I put it on the player there, and found it worth purchasing, sos I did, see? The thing is, when I come home, I realize where I'd heard of them before. For Christmas this year, my sister gave me a compilation album by Kinesis records featuring a bunch of modern and past prog tracks, none of them popular songs mind you. Anyhow, one of the bands on that was also called Cathedral (did a cool song called "Pinnochio"). They're *not* the same band, are they? Insight? Also, I stopped in at BestBuy, and picked up, among other things, the Pee-Wee's Big Adventure soundtrack (Danny Elfman classic), which I'm listening to currently. A whim buy, but definitely worth it. I don't care what you may think, but "Breakfast Machine" rules! Ditto for "Clown Dream"... Hey, anyone going to or planning to go to the Philadelphia Fates show, drop me a line wouldya? Thanks.

Speaking of Nintendo, has anyone noticed how the music of RPg games like Final fantasy (series) and Secret of mana, etc besides being really orchestral, sometimes it tends to be kinda progressive? ..my brother taped some parts of the Final Fantasy 3 soundtrack and he plays it in the car a lot...and it is cool shit...anyone ever notice this?
