Also, is >the second part any better? Does it even EXIST? 'Sympathy' was a single Marillion released with their "Best Of..." collection a few years back. The song is originally done by a 70's group called Rare Bird (those who listened to one of my YtseJam Radio shows got to hear it ;) and was done very tastefully. My personal preference was for the original... This really isn't a good example of what Marillion sounds like because it's not their own material. Try one of the their CDs and judge for yourself though... Anyone I've ever loaned a Marillion CD to has threatened not to give it back... ;) Is there a second part to the single? Of course! Information below: EMI: CD MARIL 16 Sympathy (03:30 - Album Version) Kayleigh (04:07 - Acoustic Version) I Will Walk on Water (04:08 - 5" Mix) EMI: CD MARILS 16 - Release 18-MAY-92 Sympathy (03:30 - Album Version) Kayleigh (04:04 - Live Version) Dry Land (04:56 - Live Version) Best to you all... -sp00L is there anybody listening? is there anyone that sees what's going on? read between the lines, criticize the words they're selling think for yourself and feel the walls... become sand beneath your feet - queensryche, anybody listening? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 11:40:57 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: I Mother Earth Message-ID: I have recently purchased two I Mother Earth CDs that were absolutly amazing, if you haven't already given them a listen, I suggest it because they are great.

It came with two liners, one black/white in Japanese (looks like half is lyrics, and the rest....the story?) The other liner begins with lyrics (in English), and the last half of the book (6 pages) is in German. But it doesn't appear that it's a German repeat of the lyrics, since they're written in paragraph format, it appears that it's the story? Anybody know if the German and Japanese parts are the story or something? If so, it's kinda disappointing that it's not also in English. If so, is this part (the story or whatever) available anywhere? I don't think it's on their page or anything...... Oh, by the way- from what I've heard so far, it pretty much kicks ass! (I like the story/speech tracks, too!)

And Geoff Tate is...Geoff Tate. Too bad that didn't work out. Is Queensryche history now? Tate looking, DeGarmo gone? I was hoping that QR could pick up a keyboard player in place of DeGarmo for the next release. I have an idea who could do it... That would breath some new life into the old Ryche! (Make it a 2 disc concept album) And Journey looking for a singer? Better keep that quite. A certain KJLB might decide to take a sabatical from DT and try out...

Message-ID: I got to thinking yesterday when Mike so kindly posted the set list and very good news about the 2 CD set (push for 3! Yeah, a petition! ^_^)... well, I got to thinking, and I figured, why not try the studio versions (where available) to test out my new carousel changer and make a mix tape of it? I didn't even have to come up with the order of the tracks! ^_^ Mike, I must say, you picked a wonderful variety of songs, and, with very slight tweaking, it makes for 2 very intensely cool 90-minute tapes. Tape 1 Just Let Me Breathe Burning My Soul Voices Under A Glass Moon Lines In The Sand Ytse Jam Scarred Take The Time Anna Lee Take Away My Pain Trial of Tears Tape 2: The Mirror Caught In A Web Lie Hollow Years Peruvian Skies Pull Me Under Perfect Strangers (from ACOS disc) Metropolis Pt. 1 Learning to Live ACOS (all) I moved a couple tracks around for continuity's sake (the biggest moves occured on Tape 2, more by accident than design), and added Perfect Strangers (a wink and nod to the Nightmare Cinema days -- and since James overdubbed vocals, it could be considered a "live studio" track ^_^), but otherwise, the "concert" feel is there. Tape 1 rocks nadz, and makes a great driving tape, as well as a good tape to get guys into DT. Tape 2, side A is a little more commercially minded, but side B has a whopping 3 epics back to back to glorious back. Again, a good two-sided attack at getting a friend into DT. Mike, you picked 'em wonderfully. All hail Mixmaster Mike. --Matt -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Saying a band is 'progressive' because they wear pirate shirts and write songs about the discovery of tungsten, yeah, we made that up." --Brian Henderson -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 12:11:22 -0400 (EDT) From: Steve Chew To: email_address_removed Cc: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Marillion...

That's not really a good example of what Marillion sounds like. Marillion has two phases, one with a vocalist called Fish (which I prefer) and one with a vocalist named Steve Hogarth. "Sympathy" is sung by Steve Hogarth and is more acoustic than most Marillion. The earlier Marillion (with Fish as vocalist) has a bit more of an agressive style. I'd recommend trying "Clutching at Straws" or "Misplaced Childhood". Do not expect hard rock or metal. Marillion does not have that kind of sound. But, they are a good progressive band and are worth trying. Good luck.

Excellent, obscure lyrics by Kevin Moore.

I really enjoy the obscure, confused and unusual lyric styles. Now that I think of it, aren't those Voivod recordings both "concept" albums? Anyway I highly recommend them both.

However, I won't knock it. I wish I could get that station here. Wasn't Peruvian skies supposed to be a single?

If he is how >come I haven't seen any mention of him? I'll be one of the first to call Zonder a god. No question. But if you're looking for proof of this, I don't think Kevin's stuff is the right place. It's low-key - all of it. I suppose Kevin and Zonder a friends, and Zonder sounds better than a drum machine ever could, but this ain't Fates and he at least has the sense to know it.

Message-ID: Damon was subtle as a brick: >Next, I know of a keyboardist that >could work in Queen's Ryche. I'll give you a hint. He is blind. :) Wow Damon...I never thought that Stevie Wonder would be a good fit for QR, but after thinking about it, it would take QR in a whole new direction. 8:o) Actually it's good that Journey has someone rather unknown (Steve Augeri ex-Tall Stories) to take over the voice duties. Tate and LaBrie have already established their vocal print with their repsective bands and switching over to another band, especially trying to fill the shoes of Steve Perry and his unique vocal style would be a disaster. Tate with journey would sound like Tate with Journey...not as Journey the band! my 10 cents....it's payday and I haven't paid the rent yet, so I got a few extra pennies to toss in!
