Mine says: vocals/keyboards - Kevin Moore drums - Mark Zonder guitars - Jason Anderson bass - Joey Vera (on 3,4,5) & Moore This is printed on the right pane (if you only open the cover pane leaving the inner pane still folded) next to the track listing. I'm under the impression some of you got your cover personalized with "To So&so, Kevin Moore". My copy, and those of people I know, only have Kevin's signature. Oh, and my invoice says I was order #71. I wonder how many have been sold so far, since it's only available through his web site. Two listens so far... too soon for a review from me.

If he is how come I haven't seen any mention of him? Yes, Mark Zonder is the drummer on the CD. Steady ?? Yes. Within the context of the music ?? Yes. Flashy ?? No. I couldn't have guessed that it was him for the life of me. In short, he is not mentioned because the style of the music is not conducive to him displaying any of his considerable talent. Name Withheld because I like Kevin, but I dont care for the CD Random thoughts of the day: 1) Dont confuse "liking adult style music" with "being a wuss". Really. 2) Why did Matt Bahr take the "unfulfilled order ledger" off his webpage if there were CD orders that weren't in the mail ?? 3) Will I ever see my Stream CD for being remotely critical of that Arizonian rock of stability ??

That EP is basically a concept album with some live material thrown in...Similar to APSoG in that it is one song, but with a bit of live stuff.>> And what would be wrong with that? ACOS was great, I think its gotta be in their top 5 songs. <> I recomend Petrucci. I think his lyrical work has the most potential of making a really good concept for the album (his lyrics are very much fantasy related sometimes i.e. Metropolis, The Killing Hand) I love Floyd's concept albums, especially Animals, The Wall, and The Final Cut.

Oh, duh. My apologies. Pat Daugherty must've meant "why isn't he mentioned" in the context of posts to the Ytsejam, not in the liner notes, which is what I thought he meant. I'll go about my business now. :) Rick Audet San Francisco ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 11:08:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Matt Johnston To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Chroma key drummer / Random thoughts Message-ID: On Tue, 30 Jun 1998, Metzger, Mark... err, Anonymous wrote: >2) Why did Matt Bahr take the "unfulfilled order ledger" off his webpage if >there were CD orders that weren't in the mail ??

(In case anyone doesn't know, Chroma Key is Kevin Moore's solo project, and also features Mark Zonder, Jason Anderson, and Joey Vera.) I think that Brian Hansen did a great job in his review a few digests ago, so I'll keep mine fairly brief. I got the CD yesterday and I fell in love with it instantly. I've only heard it a couple of times, but it already hits near the top of my list of best albums of 1998. I don't really know what other albums to compare it to, as far as style. It is very dark and mellow, and is more atmospheric than melodic. I see some similarities to Roger Waters, Nine Inch Nails, Duran Duran, and Radiohead. However, if you have heard Kevin Moore's "Music Meant to Be Heard" demos, then you know exactly what style of music this is. "Dead Air for Radios" is very similar in style to "Music Meant to Be Heard" but is much stronger overall. Having said all of that, here are some disclaimers: 1. This is not Dream Theater. It is not even REMOTELY similar to Dream Theater. 2. This is not complex music. There are NO solos. 3. The album is rather short (44:09), especially by Dream Theater standards. It is made effectively shorter by the fact that two of the nine tracks consist mostly of spoken word and sound effects rather than music. In summary, I think "Dead Air for Radios" is a great album, especially if you like "Music Meant to Be Heard." However, it probably won't appeal to all Dream Theater fans, because it is a very different style of music. Oh, and by the way, the album can be ordered for $15 (U.S.) from the Chroma Key web site at the following URL: http://www.chromakey.com -The Yellow Lantern ===================================================================== | "A dominatrix to the first degree | Rising Power | | She'd rather die before she'd set you free | feat.

Okay, in the PROG-METAL ORIGINS posts, why didn't anyone ever mention Kansas? Now I know the "metal" part wasn't really there, but what separates DT from pther progmetal is the art-rock aspect they specifically say they got from Kansas. I mean they were the big prog-rock leaders before Rush broke through. I also know there were other proggy bands, but without the "art" feel from Kansas...

It's like the Yes equivalent of Queensryche Empire. Also, most of their big '80s tracks are on there. So even if you're into the earlier prog of Fragile and Tales, or the newer, heavier Talk, you need to hear this album. -MAXIMUS VICTORIOUS =^..^= ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 12:29:32 PDT From: "Max Amundo" To: email_address_removed Subject: weasel Message-ID: Guess what?

The sound is terrific for an audience boot ( probably better than 'The Dance of Eternity' Quality wise not content-wise) as this CD does not have any drop-outs. The liners are nicely done on thick stock glossy paper, and each CD has a label with majesty logo on them. Highlights include Take the Time/Freebird medley, Scarred, Speak to Me, and Trial of Tears. Lowlights: bonus tracks are taken from the Mind Control/Wake Up! boots, basically filler of stuff that we've heard before. And finally, with all of the talk aboput how fast these guys are at shipping out orders, I was convinced that it was a bunch of BS, but three days after I got a confirmation note that my money had been recieved, I had the discs! These guys are totally professional, and I will definitely be ordering any future DT releases from them. (Fan Club show please!) :) Overall, I would have to rate the disc an A, for content and quality. Definitely a great boot. For another good FII boot with a little different setlist, check out Fasten Your Seatbelts on Nick Bogovich's page. Worth the price for the Fasten your Seatbelts version of Ytsejam.
