Okay, this may seem trivial - but I am BEGGING that it is a single slot case. I CAN'T STAND those huge bulky 2 CD slot cases.

YAY! Me too!! Me too! Alright, alright, woohoo, woohoo.......this makes me happy. Compared to my fuckup when DT was HEADLINING in New York, and they ran out of tickets..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...................... On to happier things. At least I'll see them at Jones. Oh, and someone was talking about ytsejam shirts. I would really love to have one. Does anyone know if there are any left at all? I remember when there was a lot of posting about them, but I couldn't at the time b/c I was too cautious and broke. Hell, I want one, so I can sport it to that fantastic concert to which I am going come August. If you have any info, please lemme know!! Thanks tons in advance, Alex ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 00:56:30 +0200 From: Stefan Eriksson To: email_address_removed Subject: New prog band Message-ID: Hi all, this is from another list run by Greger R=F6nnqvist. I think this might interest you all. I hope he doesn't mind this stuff being reproduced here. Is=E5fall ber jag om urs=E4kt Greger! (=3D another swedish expression!) Stefan E 2112 - Intro ARGENTINA 1997 BOLA LOMA BOLA LOMA 001 Time: 36 Minutes Juan Tambussi (guitar), Sergio Moscatelli (drums), Lucho Passeri (bass and vocals) and Adri=E1n Katz (keyboards). 1-Centrales de Poder (3:35), 2-Souvenir (4:12), 3-451, 4-Desde el Trapecio (5:50), 5-Dalo Vuelta, 6-Analog=EDas (3:46), 7-Payasos Asesionos del Espacio Exterior (5:21), 8-Libre del Bien y el Mal (6:53). This is an Argentinean band influenced by RUSH, a little bit heavier, with more keyboards, and vocals in Spanish. The music is a mixture of RUSH, MEGADETH, and DREAM THEATER. This is really good Argentinean progressive hard rock, filled with great melodies, skilfully played riffs inspired by the mid-seventies progressive/hard rock. The vocals are overall very good, but tend to be a little bit thin on the higher notes. "Intro" is their second release. Their first, "Alterando Las Divisiones", was released in 1989. Being a private production it is good but I would have wanted a more crisp sound and production in the same style as Dream Theater. The best track are the instrumental "451". The only bad thing about this song is that it is to short. It's a shame that musicians of this calibre don't "show off" a little bit more. At the moment the band is recording their third CD to be released by September 98. I hope the tracks on that album will be a little bit longer with more progressive tendencies, and a better production. But for now, this is an excellent album for every lover of Rush, Dream Theater and prog-metal. One of the better progressive hard rock bands around today. -Reviewed by Greger R=F6nnqvist- ______________________________________________ Stefan Eriksson e-mail: email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jul 1998 23:37:07 -0300 From: Bernardo Borghetti To: email_address_removed Subject: The proof that Dream Theater is great!!!

We spent most of the semester learning about the more mundane aspects of managing a database, but towards the end of the semester we learned about this new trend among businesses -- data mining. Essentially, data mining is the process of extracting from a large database of information that which is interesting or relevant to whatever it is that you do. An example: Let's say you run a supermarket. Everything is scanned at the cash register, so you know what items are bought at the same time. If 90% of consumers that bought corn chips also bought salsa, you would want to know that. Data mining techniques figure all that shit out for you, so that you can look at a printout and decide to put the salsa and the corn chips in the same aisle, thereby increasing sales of both. Now imagine that you're a manager at some big-time record store. If 85% of people that bought the latest Hanson album also bought the latest Spice Girls album during the same visit to the store, you would try to display the two albums near each other, wouldn't you? Now let's say that while looking over the morning data reports, something struck your eye: 60% of all Hanson purchases were accompanied by a purchase of some band named Dream Theater. Who the fuck is Dream Theater? Who cares?!? Display the album up front there with those little androgynous brats. More money, more money, more money. You don't care what people buy, as long as they buy a lot of it during each visit. So, here's my idea. The next time you go to the record store to buy a DT album, buy some Spice Girls, or Hanson, or whatever's on top of the Billboard chart that week. (It doesn't matter if you like it; just keep reading.) Don't unwrap the bad cd. Go back to the store a couple of days later and explain that you received the CD as a gag gift, and you'd like to exchange it for something good. (You may want to check first whether the store has such a policy.) As long as you paid with cash, they can't trace the purchase back and pair it with the DT purchase. Congratulations. You just fucked up a major retailer's data collection efforts. Now, if enough of us do this (and at big-time record chains), say, by buying OIAL ("Oil"?) and the latest Notorious Puff Doggie Rip-off Karaoke Thang, G, we could skew some serious amounts of data. OK, enough out of me. I'm just an idea man. Someone organize this mess. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Digital Man \|/ ____ \|/ "640 K ought to be enough email_address_removed "@'/ ,. \`@" memory for everyone." -Gates email_address_removed /_| \__/ |_\ "He won't need a bed http://www.dreamt.org/d-man \__U_/ He's a digital man" -Peart ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 20:04:23 -0600 From: Mauricio =?iso-8859-1?Q?Mart=EDnez?= To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Official word on new DT live CD Message-ID: THANK GOD....uuuhhh...thank MIKE!!!!

He's a fellow Ytsejammer from Brazil (or actually, former - he unsubbed several months back due to time constraints). Anyways, I normally talk (via e-mail) with him several times a week, and I haven't heard from the guy since May (very odd - he didn't mention being away, or getting rid of his comp. or anything). I'm just really curious if he's off the 'Net, or what the hell happened. Thanks, - Joe D.

And yes, I do like my Tolkien, and yes, I did like Silmarillion, so I'll prolly dig this CD quite a bit. To the guy who was complaining about SX's "Castlevania"-type lyrics: that Dungeons & Dragons shit is a damn sight better than anything else to draw lyrics from IMO. I don't know what type of lyrics you're into, but I just dislike pretty much all other lyrical sources (like relationships shit, love/hate shit, introspective shit, "My girlfiend dumped me and the bank's gonna take away my ranch" shit, etc.). I guess there's people out there who can relate to that stuff, though. Well, to each his own. What the hell does SX need lyrics for, anyway? Their instrumental sections are just fine.
