I saw this too, but I remember them saying that the average artist/band receives $1.25 for every disc sold. That would be a quarter for each DT member if they are the "average" band. About $8 per disc goes straight to the record label to pay for the various costs of producing an album (and to put a nice wad in the executives pockets, I might add). Stores buy new release, full-length CDs for around $9-$10 each. Again, I heard this on Dateline or some derivative show. I have no idea how accurate this is. --James ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Aug 97 0:13:56 EDT From: The Silent Screamer To: email_address_removed Subject: Songs for GF's/Ibanez Universe Message-ID: Let me start off with a few comments (not flames). Tears by Rush, Wait For Sleep by none other than the masters themselves... what do these two and some of the other songs on the list have in common? They are NOT prog songs, but they are played by prog. bands. Hmm... SDV may be prog. but then again that depends on one's definition of prog. Whatever list you submit, hope it works for you. Speaking of a song for girlfriends, what about Voices? My fav. from DT and it has its share of prog. Next topic... To the guy who saw the Ibanez Universe for $1500. Don't get it!!! Get the Ibanez RG 7-String. I saw it in a store by me for $899 AND it looks nicer too.

I finally got to hear YNM on CD ! I visited my local record store, they had an Elektra promo CD with YNM on it, my mate in the shop put the disc on for me and cranked it up. What can I say, great tune, it rocks, with a bit of airplay could be the song that breaks DT in the US. Great tune, but 'Lines In The Sand' is the song that I can't get out of my head at the moment, 'Peruvian Skies' is great too. When I asked about the Japanese release of 'FII', my mate said it has been 'delayed' and that they will get the US import first on September 23rd. gRaham. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Graham Boyle Bexley, New South Wales Australia Tape Trades: email_address_removed.au AKA 'Z_I_T_O' On Freaks & Ytsejam IRC 'Listening to the city Whispering it's violence I set out watching from above The 90's bring new questions New solutions to be found I fell in love to be let down' 'Learning To Live' DREAM THEATER 1992 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Aug 1997 02:00:44 -0700 From: Brian K Reeves To: email_address_removed Subject: Angra and Awake Message-ID: Jeez I'm lookin around at CDNow and I notice that Crematory has a new record coming out called....

Sounds decent, but the only feature I really like is that Lo-Pro trem :) Other than that and the seventh string, it's just a standard guitar. Nothin' fancy.

It helps. I swear, I play Marillion for people and they say - "well, this is kind of mellow" - and then I crank it up and the transformation is AMAZING. If you listen to M quietly, you lose some of the dynamics, and a lot of the power, of the songs. I _knew_ I wasn't the only one who felt this way... :) I think Mike Bahr would agree....

SPICE GIRLS!!!!! the wall paper is a picture of the whole band in all their spiceyness. The DT theme is very very cool and features the Awake cover as the wall paper. I'm even using the color scheme, which i usually don't do, but the colors even have a DT vibe. everyone needs to check this out. They also have movie themes and stuff if anyone wants batman or 101 dalmations on your screen all the time. woot ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Aug 1997 08:55:01 -0500 From: "Mike Patrick" To: "DT" Subject: Confessions of a Fates Holdout... Message-ID: Over the years, I've never really had anything good to say about Fates on this list. I never understood all the praise heaped on them. The only Fates I ever bought was Parallels, which most Fates fans consider a pretty good album. I never, through countless attempts, got above a STRONG dislike for it. Sold it. Bye bye. If anything, the last week or so has taught me to believe in redemption. APSoG is outstanding. Like all of you didn't already know. I am no fan of Ray's drawn out phrasing, but here it's not as obvious and when he does meander through the lyrics, it seems to fit the music a lot better then I remember. I always thought people were screwed when they said how great Mark Zonder is, but like I'm gonna argue after listening to this? No way. Guitars were great - I used to think they had two guitarists because they needed them. Yeah, right. And the lyrics, which I HATED on Parallels, were never less than good here and sometimes they were great, which most albums can't even come close to. Kevin was not as much of a force as I expected him to be, but hey, it's not his band, and his playing was still great. Oh, and Joey Vera and that fretless bass. He actually had the good taste not to overdo it, something that most fretless players can't seem to grasp. O.K. I'm done. If you're a bonehead like me and thought you were better off without this album, think again.
