If you want to hear great acoustic guitar playing, this is the disc to get. It is an hour-long live performance, with songs ranging from classical to country to ragtime to classic Yes tunes. There are no back-up musicians, just Steve Howe and a guitar. If you like Yes, or even if you don't, I highly recommend this CD. -Paul ----------- Paul Humm email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Apr 1998 01:13:03 -0800 From: email_address_removed (Charoenkwan Luesumphan) To: email_address_removed Subject: Pallas Message-ID: Jay Omega wrote: > The very brief liner notes claim that the concept behind >the album has been in the works since '79, but the album was made in '92. >The story is a fantasy/sci-fi allegory to the Cold War of the past >decades, but someone pressed "the button"...

This album gives me a feeling of Yes sound because the Eddy Offord is the sound engineer or producer on this album. Pallas sounds really neo prog (pretty soft) to me.

I have sold a few boots in my day, but not enough to Scott, this is untrue. Brian Cox posted it years ago and he was wrong to begin with. It's a '94 pickup, it was purchased in December '93, and Subconscious came out in April of 1995. The two are unrelated, and there are records to prove it... the truck was largely paid for by the huge down payment put on it at the time of purchase, and was paid off entirely by the time Subcon came out. I know most of you don't care. I wouldn't either. But this is the kind of bullshit that if not properly refuted (which apparently it wasn't back when Cox posted it) will get dug up and slung around YEARS later.

Some people prefer to have originals in their collection, and some are content with a shelf of Maxells featuring the cover and spine artwork of "My Very Own Sharpie". Neither way is right or wrong. For the budget-minded, a bootleg collection consisting entirely of Maxell XL-II-90's is perfectly acceptable. > >forth).

No emotion, no rage, no hidden agenda. I simply reminded people of the band's wishes on the matter. And yes, as long as Mike Portnoy is aware of it and isn't saying "no", then I guess there's no problem. Damn, if I ever said HALF the shit people assume I'm saying, I'd be one twisted sunovabitch! :) > little> prick > who is trying to horde all the business for yourself and trying to get Say again? You are aware, perhaps, that I am on excellent terms with a bunch of other CDR bootleggers, all of which I respect and hold in the highest regard? Just ask them... Neil Elliott, Chris King, Chris Delp, John DiBella, Marcel Berkhout, Ryan Whitaker... they're a classy bunch of guys. (I'd include Bogie too but I don't know him that well yet. I'm sure he's a perfectly cool fellow.) They have their customers just as I do, on the merits of the stuff they make and release, which I assume is pretty good (and in most cases I own it so I KNOW it's good). If anyone's hoarding (not horde... a horde is like a mob or pillaging group of bandits... a HOARD is a stockpile or large quantity) anything right now, it's YOU... hoarding peoples' ATTENTION with your inflammatory remarks. :) > If ANY person on this list gets busted for selling boots I will > email every > federal law enforcement agency in the USA and the state of Arizona as Why in fuck's sake would I ever want anyone else busted? If any of them go down, I'm next on the list anyway (I'd be surprised if I weren't the first) just because none of us try to hide what we're up to. What kind of paranoia are you suffering from? That is to say: what makes you think a guy as busy as me can have these vast hidden agendae and sinister secret plans in the works? Yeesh, I'm lucky if I remember to eat my dinner every day, since I get wrapped up in working in Wave Studio and with my sound rig on my favourite tapes & DATs and lose all track of time! :) But to get back to your point... no, I would never want anyone to get in trouble, ever. > practices of Income Tax evasion.

GaZ is getting him Man, don't you just hate it when people talk about shit they have no fucking clue about? I was contacted by Kevin himself... once a long time ago when he asked me NOT to make a CD of his stuff, and again recently when he said that all Chromakey stuff is off-limits because of his record deal, but that he didn't give a shit about the old demos. "Shin-sho-ryu-reppa! You Win! Pahfect!" (grin to all SF vs MSH players) > >Coming from you this is the height of hypocrisy.. > >Please tell me why trading a CDR of FII demos is > >counterfeiting/piracy ? OK, now some education for the greenhorns in the audience today. A counterfeit is an exact copy (or such attempt) of an existing item that's available for sale. Piracy is a counterfeit where it's obviously not an attempt to mimic the original product, so that its illicit origin is evident, but contains the same contents. Example: I can buy a COUNTERFEIT of Quake II from the local flea market, or I can get a PIRATE copy off a warez web site. A bootleg is a recording that is not available for sale but that contains property that is copyrighted to another party. Example: A CD of a DT show from 1995 on a DAT tape is a bootleg. A copy of Rush "Exit Stage Left" video is a bootleg (it's not available for sale anymore... at least not in the USA. In Japan, where IIRC it's still on laserdisc, it would be piracy). > >You making a digital copy of an officailly released Rush > >video and selling it for $20/$40 isn't ? > > You mean Critcal Mass? Yep, Bahr sells this bootleg and yes it IS from a video> (I have this video so I know, don't lie Bahr!) Scott, quit while you're ahead. You're just digging yourself deeper and deeper. Graham was referring to the ESL and p/g and ASOH video soundtrack boots from Rush. They're all on known bootlegs already, all are out of print and thus are bootlegs and not pirate material, and none of them are Prism anyway... it's just like me copying Mirrors for someone. Critical Mass was NEVER released and is about as pure bootleg as it gets, as it was a stolen closed-circuit tape from one of the staff of the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan. > >Weren't you also copying and selling Sony Playstation games at one time, > >again this counterfeiting/piracy, is it not ? > > ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! > /me wonders if Sony knows about this. Things that make you go > hmmmmmmmm...... :) Doesn't matter. I don't deal in Sony PSX games and have no recollection of ever having done so. (smile) Damn, why do people keep dredging this shit up? I'm finally well on my way to setting things right. Let's keep things that way. Props to all the regulars, and can't wait til May 20th for the local DT show!! And why does it always seem like this is all I ever post to the Jam about? I wanna be a normal fan too!! If I could go, I dunno, maybe ONE MONTH without having shit slung my way, perhaps I could finally contribute some really quality content! :) -- - Mike Bahr - Prism Records - d u r n i k @ g o o d n e t . c o m - http://www.goodnet.com/~durnik/ ------------------------------ Date: Sun Apr 26 17:07:28 1998 GMT +0200 From: Rip Von Rytinki To: email_address_removed Subject: TripleZ records back in business :) Message-ID: Salute to all jammers! TripleZ records has suffered big problems during the last 6 months, but we are now back in business! The "big thing" is we changed our name, because there already was label named TripleX, so we are now TripleZ / Sleepy man records. We are still offering our first product, Amorphis : Isle Of Joy bootleg, excellent sounding bootleg from Finnish masters of progressive doom metal(more info can be found at http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Dungeon/4371/). We were able to set the price a little lower, so one AMO:IOJ is now only $15! Those of you who already ordered back when this beauty was originally released, don't worry, we'll try to contact you and send your money back, if you don't hear from us, mail to this new address, and you'll get the cash back. TripleZ will also soon start selling CD-R replicas of boots, MP3 boot collections and possibly VIVO format video CDs, we'll try to keep the jam updated. Enjoy the jam.... personally all you 1500 are like my big family :) Rip von Rytinki TripleZ / Sleepy man records __________________________________________________________ Get Your FREE Email address at http://www.GNWmail.com/ GNWmail.com - International free e-mail in your language ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Apr 1998 14:22:54 +0100 From: "CP Parnham" To: email_address_removed Subject: Traders/bootleggers/Ytserobbers.... Message-ID: Hello, although this is a day or two late (due to the time I get to read them) I feel I should put my words to use on the 'Jam. I'm better known as Insania and I've got to tell you about how Graham Boyle is such a great guy. He mentioned me, and Luke, and one or two others and I know Luke has already written about Graham, even if it was a little unusual... Graham is a great guy who's done me a great favour and what he's doing isn't wrong in my opinion. I agree totally with his points about Mike Bahr's CDs and the fact that just about all the FII demos are somewhere on the Internet for downloading anyway. If this is the case then why shouldn't they be on a CD or two somewhere around the world? Graham saved me from paying up $20 fucking dollars to a certain other trader on here (no names mentioned...) and *that* person never even replied to my e-mail! So if you disagree with Graham's way of thinking, so be it, but he's already helping people and NOT ripping anyone off. I wish there were more people like Graham around. I'd buy you a pint if you didn't live so damn far away! Good on ya, Graham!

Message-ID: Hi All! I finally got some few more copies of the Dream Theater bootleg CD-R called "Caught In Sao Paulo". It's a CD-R with the recordings of the master DAT from the audience. It's a single CD and this is the setlist: 1) A Change Of Seasons 2) The Mirror 3) Lie 4) Burning My Soul 5) Voices 6) The Silent Man (electric version) 7) Just Let Me Breathe 8) Caught In Alice's 9-Inch Tool Garden 9) Peruvian Skies 10) Pull me Under The reordings are B+, the only problem is that the brazilian crowd screams TOO MUCH. Let me know if you are interested. I am trading it for 3 audio tapes or 1 VHS tape + 1 audio tape or, of course, 1 CD-R:-) Take care!

The sampler has a bunch of bands with mainly two songs from each. The sound quality is better than DoE. The MORE IMPORTANT THING is that I have heard through the rumor mill :) that Open All Night Records has a KILLER boot-in-the-making of both the Bourges Festival and the not-so-secret Carolina IV gig the next night. Both of these shows are must haves to be sure. I suggest banding together and letting the senior management at Open All Night Records know that there would be strong support for complete show boots of these shows.

Here's a song from RED, which is right at the end of the Fripp-Bruford-Wetton Mahavishnu-on-steroids incarnation of Crimso. It goes from meanace to jazz to meanace to jazz. Special guest genius Ian McDonald on alto sax. Check out the drums. They're insane. King Crimson is almost my favorite band. I have all their albums except Starless and Bible Black (one day I'll pick it up) and Three of a Perfect Pair (no way I'm paying for it). Likely you'll end up buying them all as well. The 3 meg mp3 is in 44k mono, because I don't have the disk space for stereo, but that doesn't really matter because it's just a sample. The file is zipped to avoid cooking of the mp3 by Netscape. The song will be around for a week. A week from now, it will disappear from the face of the earth, just one more red nightmare. -=- I know a monster when I see one in the mirror. --------------------==== Broken via True Love ====------------------- http://www.afn.org/~afn39111 Butcher, Rape, Smash to Pieces ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 3796 **************************
