Message-ID: Hi! Just wondering... I saw Ernie's review and saw that the song order was exactly like the one Mike posted. BUT the advance tape has a slightly different order: NM, YNM, PS, HY, JLMB, AL, side B: BMS/HK/LITS, TAMP, TOT. I think they sorted the songs this way to fit them best on the tape. So far, so good, could be done just for the advance tape, but there is a soft fade from the end of TAMP into Trial of Tears, and you don't do that just for an advance tape. Could be the final *MC* version, meaning that they didn't cut anything. BTW, everyone who has copies of the live versions with the new songs, please do yourself a favor and *DON'T* listen to them anymore. I did and now I have *TERRIBLE* problems getting used to the final versions. Especially LITS got totally rearranged and some parts are cut, so now for me everything is in the wrong order. So forget the old versions and listen to some other stuff while you are waiting for the new album. Seriously! Later, Steffen - THE MIRROR ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 01 Sep 1997 03:12:16 -0500 From: Jeff Perrot To: Ytsejammers Subject: Broken Glass demo tape now available!!! Message-ID: Hello fellow Ytsejammers, I just wanted to inform you of my band's recent studio release! We are a St. Louis band called Broken Glass. We play several different styles of hard rock, and on this album you will hear them all. I wanted to tell you guys (and girls) because of our _progressive_ potential on a few songs. Please check us out. I just got done putting up both wave and Real Audio clips. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think!!! Thanks!

Message-ID: I have just recently joined the Ytsejam mailing list, and I was wondering if there were any other Australians who shared my love of Dream Theater.

No really new stuff, so I won't provide reviews - if you want any infos about them, drop me a line. I will, however, write a bit here about one of the bands, because I'm sure some of you people will like the very unusual music they make. First the new arrivals: Alastis - ...And Death Smiled Samael - Ceremony Of Opposites Celestial Season - Solar Lovers Summoning - Lugburz Elend - Lecons De Tenebres Anybody who likes music that is almost classical, yet at the same time dark, heavy and extremely beautiful should listen to Elend. Best described as dark wave/gothic/black, this unique band don't use any of the instruments you woud normally associate with this description - no guitars, no drums, no bass. Instead you will hear all manner of keyboards used very ochestrally, together with violins, male vocals and screams (real screams, not black metal grunts), and soprano solos (only one singer on this album, but two on the second). The lyrics are in English, French and Latin and are a sort of luciferian cycle based on Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. This must be the most beautiful and soothing 'metal' music I've ever heard. Elend's CDs may be difficult to find Stateside, but try and get a listen - you will be doing yourself a big favour. stay safe and happy listening Neil Gallop (nga@software-ag.de) Currently playing: Fredrik Thorendal - Sol Niger Within ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Sep 1997 14:02:31 100 From: "Michael Kohsiek" To: email_address_removed Subject: ARKHE', JAG PANZER, THE QUIET ROOM, HAMMERFALL, SYMPHONY X, ...

Even insisted he'd mail examples to anyone to prove it. Took us quite a few posts to explain that a floppy disk drive doesn't *have* any such pins.

Their first album, "The Illusion", was released on Leviathan, but this second one is out on Massacre. I am unfamiliar with "The Illusion", but "Bent" is a seriously excellent album, prog metal enriched with a killer groove. Good singer, too.

So, I'd like to know from you guys: have you ever used those "CD repair kits" with success?? I know that there are at least two products (but maybe, much, much more) called "CD Saver" and "CDTek" that claim to remove every single scratch of your CDs and let them play smothly in your CD player. Is this truth???

I don't know who did it first, but Queensryche has also done this in the past with their Operation: Mindcrime album. Not only that, but they released the boxset "Operation: Livecrime," which included a CD and Videotape of a concert off the Mindcrime tour (with the exact same tracklisting as the studio CD.

Klindt" To: Ytse Jam Subject: New DT Message-ID: Howdy all, Does anybody have any good wavs or mp3s of 'burning my soul?'. I'm thinking about putting together a little demo CD for a couple of local radio stations. I downloaded one mp3 off of somebody's site but it sounds like it is a bootleg and the quality isn't the best. I'm hoping to throw BMS and YNM on a CD and distribute it a little. I called one station yesterday to request it and they had no idea what I was talking about. Appearently East West doesn't find it neccassary to send out many promos. So, I thought I'd do it for them. With the cost of blank CDs being as low as it is I figure it's worth it. I already have YNM off of Dr Mosh's site, but if anybody out there has any other higher quality wavs or mp3s that I could send out, let me know. thanks todd Todd O.

What year was that... 1273 A.C.? :-) (probably like 1970, I'm just guessing...) Let's not forget Pink Floyd's The Wall either... but that was more recently... like 1979 A.D. ;-) I think there are a lot of albums that, albeit not being concept albums per se, should be played as a whole... I was quite pleased when on Queensr=FFche= 's Road to the Promised Land tour they played the whole album... though not in the original sequence, and they had songs from other albums in between... but it was still pretty cool. I'd really like to see DT play Images and Words from start to end someday... It probably won't happen, but I'm so used to listening to the whole CD - I have no idea how many times I did that already (I'm not a Shuffle button kinda guy)... so it's like I feel one song calling for the other... and Awake is starting to feel the same way ;-) I like the album cover for FII. Change is good. Let's have confidence in the boys. They know what they're doing. ~KillthatwhorefromtheundergroundMary ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 01 Sep 1997 10:56:38 -0500 From: "Todd O.

I'm already gonna look for Symphony X since their German import is about $30 I think I'll just wait until I'm over there and get it myself. I know I'm gonna be spending a couple of days in Munich, does anybody have any suggestions for tourist stops? If there's anything a music lover such as myself can't live without, let me know. thanks todd Todd O.

I know they played the whole thing because I read on an interview that David Gilmour said that they were playing it on the Division Bell tour for the first time since 1973... Since I don't know exactly when Tommy came out, this might be the first one... but I think Tommy came out first. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 01 Sep 1997 18:25:20 +0000 From: Steffen Barabasch To: email_address_removed Subject: woot and TAMP Message-ID: Hi! I was just writing a short review of TAMP for the actual newsletter of the German fanclub, when I read your mail (YJ 2906) so I thought I should warn you. TAMP is NOT emotional at all ;-) The live version many of you have heard is totally different to the final version! I did *not* like the live version, because it was very predictable and boring. And *I* thought it was still too happy for the sad lyrics. Now when I heard the studio version, I had to laugh: How do you call this? Soul? Adult contemporary? Anyway, it's less dynamic, more laid back, and even more happy than the old version. I had to smile all the time I heard this one! I think I really like it. I just don't understand what it has to do with JP's father's death...

My copy of 'Awake' has a perfectly-circular, on-center scratch, right at the end of 'Caught it a Web'. My Sony boom box gets there and stops; my Fisher discman and Pontiac-stock in-dash player cruise through it, but play 'ca-au-au-au-ght i-in a-a-a w-e-e-e-eb, re-e-e-e-f-u-uused by-y the world'; and my Onkyo changer at home plays it just fine. But anyway, I would assume a circular scratch could only be made by a CD player, since I take good care of my discs (no frisbee games or gravel in the jewel cases :) And x-105 in Minneapolis is doing an '80's weekend'. Which means I've gotta wait another whole day before I even have a _chance_ of hearing the new DT.
