Which band originally did "21st Century >Schizoid Man"? 21st Century Schizoid Man was written by Peter Sinfield, the man behind King Crimson in the first era. He's considered one of the band members. And it IS King Crimson's song. Voivod does the cover of 21st Century Schizoid Man in their latest album. If you care, there is a cd single of 5-version of "21st Century Schizoid Man" called "Schizoid Man", released by Discipline Global Mobile (DGM), UK. All 5 trackss are from 3 different KC line-ups (Greg Lake, Boz Burrell (he is in Bad Company now) and John Wetton). The most aggressive track is by Boz from Earthbound (deleted). It is very raw.

This song is just too cool. Well, assuming you're not talking about "Rooster" :), the electronic music from A Clockwork Orange was composed by Walter/Wendy Carlos. I write it that way because at some point the musician in question underwent a voluntary sex change operation (I shit thee not). Not sure under what name he/she composed the music for that film, but I'll wager you could find a CD of it in the movie soundtrack section of a record store, or order it online from CDNow or somewhere. Walter/Wendy Carlos is a fairly famous electronic composer, he/she has done a lot of recording, including other soundtrack music, but the particulars escape me at the moment. Incidentally, for those of you who weren't at the Ft. Worth show, the whole crowd sang along to Rooster while it was playing over the PA. I could tell it was going to be a good night right away. :) Ted -- Ted D.

ASK MIKE!! Message-ID: Well, in case you don't know (and if you'll take the quiz, you will know)... "Voices" is Mike Portnoy's favorite Dream Theater song. This I know for a fact. Also, the rapper on Awake is Prix-mo. He just happened to be in the studio the day they were recording that song.

The band has recently parted ways w/ Tom Walling (drums) & relpaced him with the fella he replaced, Jason Rullo. Walling has departed due to personal reasons that left him unable to remain with the band. They are currently rehearsing for their 2 week tour of Japan (June 23 I believe is their first date, don't ask me where ), then they'll be playing that hard Rock Festival in Germany, then back in the states to the Baltimore PowerMad Fest (or something like that). Local dates?? I'm working on it.... next week I'll get to meet the rest of the band & hope to convince them that they could get a good crowd at NY/NJ venues.

Message-ID: in response to the knock on "voices" though, i grant that you may have your own opinion with regard to musical taste, but the song still kicks ass. yes, it has time changes, but i think the thing that most listners pick up on is the wide variance of attitude that the song portrays. the song begins very softly, picks up gradually, and has heavy balls by the end of the first minute. at the chorus, the sudden change from soft, quiet melody to those damn heavy balls again dragged me. i also think that mike is nearly at his best on this song (mike, if you are reading this, yes i am sucking up to you - god knows why). as good as john p is, the guitar lead should not make or break a song. this piece has incredibly good interaction between all members of dt. it also (maybe i am alone in experiencing this) does not seem to drag on at all, highly uncharacteristic of ten-minute songs (even i have to admit that LITS drags on a bit). oh well, i hope there are no flaws in my defense of a truly great song. > I can't believe how many of you guys love "Voices". > > I read where one of you said that this was DT's most virtuostic (is that > a word?) song? > > I couldn't disagree more.

Oh my GAWD! A rapper! On ad DT album! Isn't it just grody to the max? Yes, Prix-Mo is his real name. Mr. Mo would prefer it if you called him such (Mr. Mo). I say grow a pair and get over it. Prix-mo did a, well, primo job on the voice-over, and added a darker dimension than James could have (I shudder to think). Voices is wonderful, but A Mind Beside Itself rockz nadz.
