Message-ID: Hello Chris ! I`m sorry, but i don`t know about any sound samples on Arkhe, but=20 i can tell you this much that if you love "images and words" by=20 Dream Theater and Empty Tremor`s "apocolokyntosis" you`re going to love Arkhe too. Ok, i admit that the production could be slightly=20 better, but it`s by no means bad. The music is excellent and the vocalist is a deadringer for James LaBrie in places. Like every good progressive release you have to be patient and let the music grow=20 on you, but when it has, you`re hooked. The album has received great reviews everywhere i`ve seen. My advice is that you buy this album without hearing it first. You won`t be dissapointed, not if you love melodic prog metal ala Dream Theater "images and words" era. Hope this helped you out a bit. =20 Contact me if you`d like to talk more melodic prog metal. Best Regards,=20 Bj=F8rnar !

I hope you can help me out. First off, can anybody forward (through private e-mail, of course) me a track listing of the new Manowar "Hell On Wheels" LIVE CD please? I've been to a couple of web pages, but they haven't listed the tracks. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Secondly, I have been considering getting the new Stratovaius BEST OF CD for a while. I finally found a track listing, but I was hoping that any Strat fans out there can e-mail me and let me know if it's worth getting. I mean, is it an accurate representation of their career? I went to one web page I found, and the guy listed what he considered to be highlights of all their albums, and a lot of them did not appear on the BEST OF. I'm also a little concerned because my fave Strat song of the few I've heard (Father Tme) is not listed on the BEST OF. (The only CD I have of theirs is "Episode".) Anyway, the BEST OF is around $32 or so; the individual albums are listed as like $14 or so. Would it be worth it to shell out the $32 for the 1 disc, or use that cash to get maybe 3 of their studio albums? Please let me know. Again, thanks again, and I'd appreciate any help.

I went too far with this, and I admit it, > it all started out from one little sentence I said in #ytsejam... at least > I have learned how fast and furiously rumours can spread. Interesting study in human nature, though, wasn't it. The need to be the first on the block to have the news, caused people to throw reason out the window and not even validate the information you posted. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Feb 1998 16:44:21 +0100 From: "Wille Raab" To: Subject: SV: YNM parody Message-ID: Hehe...

I know vocalists need effects, and I know that keyboardists never have enough. If you are one of these two, then please buy my effects unit from me. I have an ART Multiverb 3, does almost everything that you would want to do for vocals or keyboards. No distortion or rotary effects, but I think it does just about everything else. I am selling it for $150 or if you have a good drum machine, I will take that in full or partial trade. I have no where else to turn. No music store will take it for even $75. I have tried the rec.music.makers.* newsgroups and they ignore me. I have offered in trade for almost all kinds of cheap gear and am told no. If nothing else, can one of you people who are the kindest of ytsejammers post this somewhere on the web to one of those great classified sites that I can't access because of my blindness? I will take any offers through private email, so don't take this to the list let it die here.

I bought their only CD, "True North." Their vocalist/guitarist, Robby Aceto used to play with David Sylvian. The album was released in '95 but a fellow King Crimson fan has been begging me to find the CD. Overall, it's somewhat progressive. It features 2 keyboards, a guitar, a bass, an electric violin, and drums. I've only listened to it a few times...it sounds like a cross between King Crimson, Genesis, and something out of the 80's pop era. It sounds like it can go on an adult contemporary station...yet it's still pretty progressive with some amazing guitar playing. It's a pretty spacey album overall. For more info on Red Letter, their home page is: http://www.lightlink.com/~doug/rl/index.html It has various sound files on it too. I highly recommend this CD to any King Crimson/Marillion/Genesis fans. It's actually pretty damn good...

I went back and wanted to download it with I. Exploder but the user "washburn" doesn't exist anymore on this server. Pls if you have this eve.mp3 - the cover, not the original! - e-mail me! Thx!

All is going well with it, I'm sure some of you have heard about it but if not well, you have now. For anyone who has a question about the band, let me know. You can always email bernd, thats simple enough to do but I'm trying to find out what type of questions he gets asked, so, email me privately and let me know stuff you wanna know. Of course, send an email to bernd if you want the answer :) I'll send an adres for the page when it's more "complete" Mark Smeets/Stranger0/HTML Guild Member/ICQ-#1062196 --------------------------------------- My plan to get rich next year: I'm forming a satanic boy band that will go under the name of Marilyn Hanson. http://www.smartt.com/~jsmeets/stranger/ - personal page http://www.smartt.com/~jsmeets/stranger/megadeth/ - Megadeth F.A.Q. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Feb 1998 10:07:41 +0000 (GMT) From: Graham Borland To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: The Way It Used To Be Message-ID: I'm quite glad that The Way It Used To Be didn't make it on to the album. It sounds like a bog-standard pop song, with that cheesy delayed-guitar intro . . . very unimpressive. You Or Me is also quite dull . . . its tempo is much too slow, and the chorus just annoys me. Hey, I can't help being a Desmond Child fan. I grew up to Bon Jovi and Alice Cooper. I haven't even listened to the radio edit of Hollow Years yet . . . that would probably annoy me too. I must be in an "annoyed" mood today. > From: Rogerio Brito > > > I saw the video to Hollow Years on VH-1 in Germany in my hotel room at 2 am > > last Wednesday. > > Could you describe it, please?
