Only a few that he probably has so many effects to accomplish in that he probably can't do it without it. This could be a Click Track or something similar, but as far as I know and from what Portnoy said in the clinic, a Click Track is something similar to an electronic Metronome, but more sophisticated. What ever the case may be, I found the clinic to be very imformative and I personally learned and was inspired quite a bit. He's an AWESOME teacher, but then that's probably because he knows the material so well! :-) Thanks for all the comments too. I like that someone's reading what I post. Nice talkin to ya!

Message-ID: Hey, I just got attenion deficit (with Tim Alexander on it, another Magna Carta group) and i was waiting to see what you ytsejammers thought about it but no one said anything. I guess I'll be the first! This is a WEIRD album, but at the same time very interesting and cool. You gotta get it everyone! If you have it, tell me what you think of it!

Well anyone agree that FII is the best?>> Are you saying that a progressive metal singer is supposed to stay in the lower registers? How is that progressive? The lack of vocal showmanship on FII is the main reason why it can't touch Awake or I&W. Put Voices and LTL up against anything on FII, anyday. On top of that, the vocal lines like the beginning of New Millenium and the verses to You Not Me are lifeless, and belong on a grunge album. FII has it's impressive points, and I listen to it all the time, but vocally, FII leaves me wanting more. That's when I throw on Awake, or I&W.

What ever ok, this is how my music teacher explained it to me when we were recording in his studio: a click track is basically where you sequence the basic drumline of the song (sans fills or anything fancy, just the basic 'beat') and use that as a metronome. Dunno if portnoy uses the term differently or whatever, but that's how we used it. moo. *** END OF TRANSMISSION *** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 15:30:11 -0700 (PDT) From: "Paul T.

Not complicated... you can do it with a simple drum machine. I use my QS6 synth for a click track when I record... I just sequence the tempo, time sig, etc. and there you have it... just a timekeeper fed through a monitor system is all, nothing fancy... I don't see a use much more than headaches for playing live, but very important(IMHO) when recording and practicing...

How's the first albums, "The Damnation Game" and "Symphony X", by Symphony X compared to TDWOT and TIO? Are they similar? After listening to Age of IMpact for a couple of week now I have to say that I really like the vocals of Matt Bradley. I've heard that there'll be an Dali's Dilemma CD released this the autumn (is this their first one?), but is there any other CD there he's contributing?

Well, in that case, I&W would be my fave DT album, and it would be just plain hard for another DT album to knock it off this place. Very hard.

Very >hard. are you sure? if ACOS had ended up on i&w, it would have knocked off 2-4 songs from the CD... What would I&W be without surrounded or ttt? wait, i'm not sure how long I&W is. the CDs right across the room, but i'm too lazy to go check. if i&w isn't the usual DT 78 minutes, like for example if it were to be, oh, 54 minutes, then you could probably fit ACOS on there too.

I think they are kinda more gothic than prog, > though. I want to agree here. While I love their CDs, Saviour Machine is definitely a band to see live. I hesitate to use the term gothic and prog with them because, while they have elements of both, their not really one or the other. they are very theatrical. If anyone's interested in hearing them, e-mail me and I'll see if I can e-mail you an mp3 or something. I'll be seeing them in Chicago on Halloween night. If anyone's going, let me know and we'll hook up. Dale R.

I agree that the comparisons are meek, being they are all totally different guitarists. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't see how you could compare even Neil Peart to Mike Portnoy for example. Yeah, there both stand-out drummers in R&R. Progressive R&R, which brings them even closer in comparison, but Mike learned a lot of techniques from Neil and Terry and god knows who else. He's had a whole different set of influences and circumstances to help develop his style, so it's hard to compare the two. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 23:55:00 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Lie Single, 'jam t-shirts, stuff...

I tried special order and the company that I wanted to go through went under about 2 weeks after I ordered it through Strawberries (the local record store). I tried Circuit City, no luck. Does anyone know where I can get this, or does someone have a spare copy that they wouldn't mind selling to me? 2.
