I understand that [snip] > 3) watchtower is back together? and writing? I picked up Spastic Ink 'Ink Complete' which is a project that Ron Jarzombek put out last year. This being one of the close to fifty (I lost count) disks that I purchased while I was at the Powermad 97 Festival. :^) This disk is, well, wacky. It's kinda like getting a cool guitar album and an hour long lesson in technique as well. :^) The songs range from highly technical ('The Mad Data Race' kinda like using the guitar to explain the functions of a computer) to seemingly simple ('See, And It's Sharp!' 4 1/2 min. of only C & C# notes and 'Eighths Is Enough' 4 min. of only eighth notes). Even the later sound complex to me. But, then again, I'm not a guitarist. :^) Thus spake Nicholas: > A friend of mine insists that the singer for Watchtower is the guy who > sang for Dangerous Toys, while another one claims that he isn't. I don't > know enough about either band to dispute this fact, so if anyone out > there can clue me in, I'dbe greatly appreciative. Your friend is correct Jason McMaster (later of Dangerous Toys) supplied the vocals for 'Energetic Disassembly' Watchtower's first album (now finally on CD). He and guitarist Billy White (who played on Don Dokken's 'Up From The Ashes' solo CD) left the band before "Control and Resistance' was recorded. Ron Jarzombek, mentioned above, took over on guitar while Alan Tecchio (formerly of Hades, later of Non-Fiction) supplied the vocals. O.K. now I can breath. :^) Gee, do ya think I like these guys or what? See ya, Jim Oh yeah, I'm not sure who will be singing on the new disk because I've heard rumors on either side. :^) "I'll walk through your firestorm but never never crawl" Kansas 'Under the Knife' ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Mar 1998 13:12:06 +1000 From: email_address_removed.au To: email_address_removed Subject: UNCLASSIFIED:-Re: Where to find LTE?

Ooooh, bad idea :) There's at least 200 guitarists on this list, and 100 bassists or so. Everybody and their left-nut sister is gonna post their rigs :) Also, let's not forget how bored the non-musicians are gonna be. People who just listen to the music and aren't _musically_ inclined (you know...like drummers and techies and the guys in the back of the orchestra with the triangle :) are gonna get bored with this real quick.

Sure, Portnoy put a lot of time and effort into the CD, but that doesn't mean that Mark shouldn't be allowed to dislike it. If I were to pick between excerpts from the FII Studio Sessions or a disc of live material, I'd have to pick the live material because the music would matter more to me than how DT ended up writing FII. >> What makes you think live material was even an option? What if you had to choose between FII Studio Sessions or NOTHING! Obviously, this is what Mike chose to offer this year......... What's the expression?...Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.... I think this is a very insightful look into the DT creative process that we otherwise would have never had an opportunity to ever see....

I asked him later on for more details, and what I got from him is that he was in the studio by himself cutting the bass tracks, so he doesn't exactly know who the DT members are. I asked, is it John Petrucci and Derek Sherinian? He said he doesn't know. That tells us a bit about how those projects come about, but it is still very cool to know what there's more stuff coming ahead... and I didn't even get my LTE yet... I happened to ask Dan Hanley at Magna Carta about something called "Explorer's Club" and their CD titled "the Age of Impact." He told me the following story (paraphrase) Shortly after Trent Gardner (magellan) finished up Test of Wills (Magellan's 3rd CD), he wrote another 60-70 minutes of music, and wanted to release it, but thought it would be kind of overkill to release 2 Magellan CD's within even 6 months of one another, so he had to decide what to do with the music. time time time... Enter Terry Bozzio and Sheehan. Terry was asked by Trent to play since there's mucho respecto between the two men. I understand that Dan received a phone call from Terry after he laid down the drum tracks and said "some of those time changes are impossible....Trent is a motherfucker!!" So, about the music. It is all prewritten, unlike BLS and LTE (those 2 projects are going to be the next "Magna Carta" thing, in my opinion. Soon there's going to be a new project possibly! called Attention Defecit featuring Tim Alexander (Drums, Primus), Michael Manring (bassist, Windham Hill recording artist and amazing 2 hand bass player) and Alex Skolnik (guitar, formerly of Testament). Anyway...Age if Impact is the title, and the whole thing is divided into 12? parts with a common theme and concept. DREAM THEATER INFORMATION (first, I heard that our man James laid down some backing vox for the upcoming Magna Carta release Tyrrany by Shadow Gallery) Featured on Explorers Club/Age of Impact is: Terry and Trent and Billy Sheehan (drums, keys/vox/music, bass) Derek Sherinian on lotsa keys Johnny Petrucci on geetars D.C. Cooper (royal Hunt) some vox James LaBrie on some vox AND Steve Howe - great acoustic/classical guitars This should be out before next school semester, and even before the end of the current one. I'll keep you updated!! ____________________________________________________________________ "Ascend, descend, the digital ghost, above the silent sacred host.
