Hmmmm... you should have asked her in how far she thought it would resemble... hmmmm (again)... maybe Styx is the only prog (let's be not too strict w/defining terms here) band she ever consciously listened to? Frankly speaking this comparison just isn't that obvious to me... at least not in the sense that I thought of WDADU as the best Rush album ever made... just kidding (in case that Neil Peart should ever come to read this digest :-) I only once had The Illusion on vinyl of which I thought despite a few lackluster moments it did contain some excellent material, and it was excellently performed and produced as well... maybe she thought of the arrangement, esp. the keyboards -? But then I wouldn't expect her to find *any* similarity between Styx and say Awake...

Sorry 'bout that. I read it wrong. Now I get your point, although I don't really think either album is disjointed. I think the songs are well written on both Awake and FII. >>Personally, I don't think I've >>ever heard an album as well produced as Awake, and when dealing with 7 >>string guitars, 6 string basses, and 100 keyboard sounds, I think that's >>saying a lot. > >Awake sounds great production-wise, sure I'll agree with that, but then >again, I'm not a production-head. And, there weren't 100 keyboard sounds >on Awake. You'd be hard pressed to find 10. Then again, you wouldn't find >much more on I&W or FII either, but I prefer the sounds used on those to >Awake. GO fig. Yeah, I was exagerrating, but trying to make a point that DT songs would probably be a bit harder to produce, because they incorporate elements that other bands don't use. The extra strings and different keyboard sounds are the best examples. I think the biggest difference between Awake and FII for me is the drums. I guess I'm disappointed with the production on FII because I don't think the drums sound that good. I even like the drums better on I&W, even with the triggers. It might not even be Shirley's fault, but being the producer, he's responsible. I prefer Awake's production based almost entirely on how good the drums sound on that album. Anyone else see it that way? KAI ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 11:46:17 +0000 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Images And Words HARD BOX !!!

Actually, I answered this in private email, but since other people seem to care as well, it's probably worth posting. I personally joined the fan club after hearing about last year's CD, but it was about February before I got around to it. And I still got the CD. So I think you probably still have plenty of time.

Marrilion Message-ID: Just a couple of things: > 'R' Us" >self-help cassette tapes for people suffering from prog-phobia (DSM-III-R Z >37659.76234)... :-) I'm curious as to why you didn't write "DSM -IV", I'm doing my undergrad work in psych at the moment (what's with all these bass playing pysch majors! It almost makes me believe in societal memory and predeidposition) and a lot of my profs seem to be bashing the DSM IV as a diagnostic tool in favor of the DSM _III-R. I was curios about your take on that, what with having more exposure to both than I have had. Hmmm, Would prog phobia be Axis I or Axis II as in anti-prog personality disorder since most people who suffer from the condition never seek treatment for a problem that they are unaware that they are suffering from? >nd got into fusion which in the 70s still was called jazzrock hmm, don't remembner the 70's, I only spent 3 years in them, so much for societal memory. I'm curious as to why everyone calls Marrillion prog? Granted, I have EXTREMELY limited experience with them is 6 of one, half dozen of the other. I'm not impressed with it at all. It seems like fairly commericial pop to me. Of course, this may be because it's a "greatest hits" album and they simply put their most commercial tracks on, but the only song I can dig is "Kaleigh" I thik I spelled that wrong, but I'm too lazy to look it up now. "Incommunicado" and "The Assasin" just make my skin crawl away from my ears, trying to rip out my tympanic membrane with it!

Yes! As I wrote, it is POSSIBLE to estimate evetything objectively. I know it's VERY difficult but possible. I see you don't understand me (I guess on the ground you wrote below) Perhaps you don't uderstand what word "objective" means > Not every PERSON (let's be relatively PC) thinks the > same way. That's right. > your eyes at me as you hold back the vomit!) Hitler tried to > objectify his standards, and it cost millions of people their lives. He thought (if he did really) he was doing in objective way. But he was mistaken. That won't do if someone invent some idea. If it wants to be righteous it must be objective. > You are extremely narrow minded if you think that your > own opinions are objective, Of course not. I will have to learn more and more to become a 100% objectivist. Maybe I will never become one, but I try to live this way, to improve my mind, myself. But you must be aware of this, that (like Platon's triangles) there are some patterns we are aspiring to. > > > > Regarding weak work of keys I didn't mind if Derek is good or not > > > (or he is better than Kevin or not).

Well, how about this... my > objective standard is that the keys are great. You are wrong (using your words - like Hitler) Perhaps I am wrong too but there is a an objective standard which (telling the truth) is difficult to define or to discover. > > > E.g.

It's the only b-side on the tape. It cost him fifty cents, or >something. :-) So there ya go, that's been released, too. I picked up SF several years ago as a Cassingle B side to "Anybody Listening?". It's a studio version of the song...and it's great. I'd also note (and it may have been mentioned here already) that I've seen the entire Unplugged show (about an hour of music) for sale as an import in a used CD store near me--not enough money to buy it at the time (this a year or two ago). But it's out there...and I don't think it was a bootleg, but I don't know for sure. ~Topher ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 13:03:21 -0700 From: "Vincent G.
