How do you compare the Hipshot with the 2-Tek? Do you think it's worth the extra 150 bux they ask to have the 2-Tek installed? I was thinking about getting a Carvin neck-through alder bass (all-alder) and a fretless ebony fingerboard. Do you have any idea what that would sound like? :-) I think it still should have enough hi-end because of the ebony. Alder should provide nice mids and tight lows. If anybody has bought any Carvin basses, I'd appreciate some input on what woods were selected and what they sound like...

Next in quality is Tarkus, the title track which is quite good. Some other songs on there as well, along with the standard ELP filler-material. After that, the quality drops off quite sharply, but if you want to try more I'd go with ELP, Trilogy, and/or Pictures at an Exhibition. -=- "I am just a stain on the white house intern's dress of life." --------------------==== Broken via True Love ====------------------- http://www.afn.org/~afn39111 Butcher, Rape, Smash to Pieces ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Feb 1998 13:27:17 -0500 From: Matt Stanich To: email_address_removed Subject: Prism CD STuff Message-ID: Mike- "Anyway, I changed my mailing address just in case. If everyone would be so kind as to NOT give my old address to anyone, I would appreciate it ever so much. This dork may have it already, true, but my experience with net users is that they rarely write anything down because they know they can "always look it up on the net later", and if that's the case here, I've rather luckily protected myself. Thanks to all of you who e-mailed support, you're the greatest!!!" This means that the OLD address is stil valid for orders and what not, and this new address is just a temp. distraction for the lunitic to go to correct?

However, if you really like it (particlarly Karn Evil 9), then I recommend a few of their albums in the following order: 1) Pictures at an Exhibition--a very good live recording of a 33min rendition of Mussorgsky's classical piece (as arranged and adapted by ELP--they added some music, and some lyrics). Kick ass stuff. 2) Trilogy--which includes the amAZing title track, the equally kick ass instrumental "Hoedown" (by Aaron Copland, which you will most likely recongnize) and "The Endless Enigma". 3) Tarkus--which includes the kick-ass 20min title track and a few other good tunes. 4) --which has two great full-band instrumentals, the ballad "Lucky Man" (like "Still...", or "From the Beginning" on Trilogy), and another classical adaptation called "Knife Edge" (very good), the 12min "Take a Pebble", and Emerson organ & piano instrumental (kinda like KE9 2nd Impression). It's a toss up: I'd say (1) and (2) are on a par, and the same with (3) and (4). You can find this stuff remastered on Rhino records for (usually) not-too-much money. ELP's other stuff (Works, Love Beach, etc) aren't really worth owning. All the best tracks can be found on the ELP boxed set, but I found the new studio version of Pictures to be inferior (not to mention shorter) to the original, and a couple worthwhile songs ARE missing, although you do get the two good tracks from Works 1, "Pirates" and "Fanfare for the Common Man", but... --Topher ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Feb 1998 15:29:17 -0500 (EST) From: Damon Fibraio To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: www.magnacarta.com Message-ID: Maybe they are finally updating that site after nearly three quarters of a year. -- Damon Fibraio, email_address_removed Keyboards, vocals, musical slut I'll play for money.

I gave it a spin and everytime ELP comes up, i will make it a point to say that brain salad surgery, trilogy, and tarkus are three albums well worth the investment. be careful with other stuff--i would say that love beach (i think that's the name) has got to be one of the worst albums ever by a band that once was great. --MATt ------------------------------ Date: 20 Feb 98 12:02:53 -0800 From: "Neil Evans" To: email_address_removed Subject: New VH/Satriani in the Bay Area (NDTC) Message-ID: Chris.. >Anyone: Is the album out yet?

First, Nicole and I just received our Xmas CD. Yeah, I was one of those who sent my check to the NYC address last November. The CD and all the fanclub stuff is pretty cool. Oh, and I don't think I've seen it conjectured here, but I think the two non-DT members in the studio picture are Doug Pinnick (shaved his mohawk!) and Kevin Shirley. Second, a track off of FII is finally getting airplay in Houston, TX! KACC (Alvin Community College radio) 89.7 FM is playing You Not Me. I've heard it on there several times in the past two weeks. This is the first time any song off of FII has been played by any Houston area station. The major rock outlet in town completely ignores DT. Anyway, I'm gonna be requesting YNM at this college station to hopefully get it into regular rotation. In case anyone else local wants to request them too, their number is 281-388-4772.

In a word - complete. Now you only have to worry if the drummer can read music, as opposed to figure out these songs. I also have TAB of IAW (less Learning to Live) and Awake (less The Mirror) in the same complete band format. I don't know why the Japanese versions always manage to leave out one song, but I would rather tell you upfront than have you set up a trade for one of these and find out the only song you really cared about was Learning to Live and it isn't included. But - I've never seen another Tab book this complete. check out PAW, SAR, or FG from Steve Vai. WAY more than you need to know! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Feb 1998 21:38:11 EST From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Transcription of DT in CH, Xanadu Records Message-ID: Hey Gang - Well, I received a couple of replies requesting that I transcribed the write- up that Columbia House did up for the Metal Selection of the Month, FII. Here y'all go: Virtuosity is nothing to be embarassed by. Even though the rise of grunge and alternative put the spotlight back on feeling and attitude, nothing can beat an instrument well-played. In the '70s bands like Yes and Rush funneled furious chops into a powerful vision that still stands up today. Dream Theater carries that torch, making epic, progressive metal with more hooks than a coatroom and some of the most impressive physical dexterity you'll ever hear. This is a band that knows how to be surgically accurate yet rock like a hurricane. James LaBrie's vocals find a middle ground between the growl of current heroes like Alice In Chains' Layne Staley and the melodic punch of Steve Perry of Journey. And John Petrucci is one of the few guitarists able to deliver big, heavy riffs and spidery, complicated solos in equal measures. If you're an aspiring player, he'll keep you up at night wondering "How'd he do that?" Dream Theater's latest masterwork, "Falling Into Infinity", continues in the experimental vein of their earlier releases, marrying pop impact - check out "You Not Me" - to mammoth, multi-part arrangements that hold the attention and demand repeat listening. Producer Kevin Shirley (Silverchair, Aerosmith) has added some sonic heft without diluting the Dream Theater script - make it big, loud and perfect. Despite all you've read and heard, large-scale rock and roll is far from dead. You'll find it living, breathing and spitting fire inside a darkened Dream Theater. Well, there it is. I hope at least some of you have enjoyed it. Pretty kick- ass review from a "mainstream" organization, eh?

I love Speak to Me. Kinda makes me wish I'd bought the Japanese version. (sigh) Go figure they don't put it out as a B-Side. Hopefully that might come later.
