Well I think you may be proven wrong. It seems a few guys by the names of Scott Henderson, Steve Smith, and Victor Wooten decided to jump on the band-wagon and put together a cd by the name of Vital Tech Tones. These guys have more of a fusion background than our pals in DT and it shows. The energy level is high, the improv is spectacular, and the tunes are total romps. No offense to prog musicians, but anybody who thinks that 3 Minute Warning is great improv has not heard some real jazz musicians doing some hardcore jamming and improvisation. I'm in the process of making an MP3 now that I'll put on Mosh's FTP. I had to choose a short song so it's not the best cut on the cd but you'll get the idea from this cut. Check it out....

When I saw them live about a week ago, they did a song in, damn, I think it was something like 11/16 or something really messed up :).

I know Mying has the capability, but Victor Wooten gets to show off more. Bela is pretty cool about giving the other Flecktones a chance to shine at their respective instruments. It seems that in DT only Petrucci and Portnoy get to shine. Moreso with Petrucci.

(and more on ALDO) Message-ID: Michael Kizer: (and all other jammers with an interest in Fates Warning) Thanks for the Fates suggestions. I was looking at No Exit & Inside out at the local CD store, I had to bypass them at the time because I already had five CD's in my hands. (One was Fates PS) The more I listen to Ray Alder's vocals the more hooked I get, his vocal control is staggering. It's fairly obvious that Mr. Zonder enjoys what he's doing, his work in APSOG part IV (and in just about in everything else) is wonderful. The lyrical and music writing abilities of Jim Matheos is top tier. Ah, by the way... I really like this band :) About the only things I can critique are the engineer that mixed some of the tracks, is he going deaf? The other thing that annoys me is "some" sections of APSOG gets repetitious, but overall the album is great. Thanks again all...... Really! OK, I've tossed this name out here twice with NO response, WTF nobody has anything to say about Aldo Nova? NP: YES Relayer.... -- See ya, AL...

The mellow, often acoustic stuff...think, oh, Shawn Colvin, or the Jayhawks. As opposed to the 'grunge' alternative. Speaking of, has anyone else noticed that 'alternative' has just become a big catch-all phrase that doesn't mean jack shit anymore?

Unless you want to spend $2400 or more. The Korg trinity may sound great, but it is not for the faint of heart. First, you have to determine what you want to spend. If you only have $1500, you can't buy a board for $2500. So, if you have a budget of about $1500 or less, consider something like the Roland xp60, Korg N series. You can also look for used gear. You can get yesterdays power workstations for what you would pay for an entry level keyboard. However, before I can really recommend to you a keyboard, you need to tell me more. What kind of music do you want to do with it? Will you be in a band situation? Do you want a sequencer? A sequencer will let you do all band parts by yourself. Techno and club people love them. Are you looking for realistic sounds? Keyboards fall intoseveral categories, the sample playback machines that play back sounds of realistic instruments, samplers that will let you record your own sounds if you know what youare doing, and virtual analog keyboards that sound like the old style keyboards of the 80s and 70s and are designed for techno heads and people who love that kind of sound. Again, if you want a basic keyboard, check out the Roland xp60. It is very expandable, and powerful, probably doesn't cost too much, and sound great. If you have more money, look into the Yamaha ex5, Korg Trinity or Ensoniq ZR76. However, these keyboards will cost over $2000.
