OH, WAIT! not here! :) (that's a joke, by the way) Realise is the english (and might I add, English was around long before American) spelling. Realize has been americanized. I think the Brits also say "practise" where we say "practice." I believe I've seen that in the British guitar mag "Guitar Technique", where I found a 'dead good' (I think that's another British expression) transcription of UaGM along with a CD of a guy breaking down the solo 2 bars by 2 bars. Not too shabby. Steve Z ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1998 13:01:48 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Once in a Lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was tentatively scheduled for an October release but the label decided to wait until the new year to release it. Look for it in January. You can probably find all the records you're looking for at The Laser's Edge or Knights of the Round.

There's no new info. They're all ready to go in to the studio. I don't know whethe they're still with Magna Carta or not, but I believe (from what I've heard from the label) they are. There's no name for it yet, but the tracks that will be on it are on my site. - mike. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= email_address_removed / email_address_removed erotomania! - http://www.erotomania.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1998 14:53:12 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: "Vital Tech Tones" Message-ID: Hi all... It's me again, making one of my entirely too infrequent posts to the Jam...just thought I'd add my voice to the chorus of praise for the above- mentioned album, which is indeed an incredible slice o' jazz-fusion, the type of which we sadly don't get enough of these days. However, the same wonderful label that brought us "Vital Tech Tones" has also just given us an album that, IMO, is even better. It's called "Show Me What You Can Do," and it's got Frank Gambale and Stuart Hamm in the guitar and bass slots along with Steve Smith. Where "Vital Tech Tones" is jazzier and bluesier, "Show Me What You Can Do" is heavier and even more intense. I urge those of you out there with a liking for jazz-rock a la The Dregs, Brand X, and so on to check out this album. Obligatory DT content: Wouldn't it have been cool if they'd just put out the live CDs and video in a really nifty box a la Metallica's "Binge and Purge"? Can't have everything, I guess... -- Jeff :^) NP: Black Sabbath, "Falling Off the Edge of the World" (from "The Mob Rules" - an underrated disc!) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 12:28:04 -0700 (PDT) From: Brian Hansen To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Galactic Cowboys Question Message-ID: ---Jon Kretschmer wrote: > > > I just went to CDNow and I want to buy Galactic Cowboys:Galactic Cowboys, > but it says the price is $5.49 for the CD.

Message-ID: OK, I heard quite alot about these 2 bands Tribal Tech and Vital Tech Tones. After reading someone's comparisons of Tribal Tech I decided to check out this band ASAP. But now I find this other one. :) Can someone post me privately and tell me some more about these 2 bands, what kinda music they play, musicians, time they existed, and why I never heard of them? ;) I know Scott Henderson from some jazz rock albums and heard a band in my town playing his covers (AWESOME gigs) Also, anyone knows a band called "Mezzoforte"? Covers played by the same band and it was ALL AWESOME JAZZ ROCK JAMMING! Some of the best music I heard. Thanks, CyberDuke P.S And don't make me post this over and over again! ;) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1998 17:49:19 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Once in a Livetime - the next episode Message-ID: Previously on Once in A Livetime: Anthony J Tully gave us a rundown on most of CD2. Here is the rest ie., CD1. ****************************************************************************** ********* Track List on promo tape Side A 1. ACOS I the instrumental 2. ACOS II 3. Puppies on Acid 4. Just let Me Breathe 5. Voices 6. Take The Time Side B 1. Keyboard Solo 2. Lines In The Sand 3. Scarred 4. ACOS IV 5. Ytse Jam 6. Drum Solo More detail later! As far as the mix goes, I think the drums and bass jump right out on both tapes, but then my stereo has a groove button which boosts the lower frequencies. That said, when you play FII next to it, the tracks from that one on the live album are MUCH heavier/bassier. It's like having DT playing there for you, the sound is very good. ****************************************************************************** ****************** For those who want to know about the FII tracks on Tape 2 (CD2) side 2: Trial of Tears (not TRAIL, tape liner is wrong and yes I did mention it to the record co!) starts with the tinkly/moody Yes-type bit background keyboards as usual and then Johnny P comes in on guitar and adds in some Close Encounters repeats just to wind everyone up. Where the main riff comes in the drum and bass hit ya in the face. Then we have James' voice softly in complete contrast. Later on his voice soars like an eagle into the repeat of the drum and bass pattern which goes into JP's guitar solo (ya know the Alan Holdsworth influenced one) which is mega float off time for me. The it's all in for the grand finale with JP doing a bit more Close Encounters. In fact the whole song is brilliant. This is now in my list of Top 10 DT/Side Project songs with the top 4 being Metropolis, ACOS, Universal Mind and Trial of Tears. Hollow Years intro starts with Johnny P giving it some on the protoype Ibanez electric classical with the rest of the band in the background. The solo later on is almost like a balalaika/bouzouki sound with fast picking. Nice piano sound/playing from Derek in the end melody line with some closer backing vox as on the CD. Bass is very subtle and sounds like diddy Majesty drum kit is being used as it was at the London Forum. The whole song flows beautifully (like JR's kb playing, ha ha had to get that one in). TAMP (electric classical guitar again I think) has a first rate saxopone solo and the fills are pretty amazing too. This song is MADE for that sax (like Another Day). They take everything RIGHT down for the last verse (reflection), you can feel Johnny P's eyes welling up with tears (and probably most of those in the audience too, there is SO much emotion) and the guitar is barely audible just strumming softly. Bass and drums complete and enhance as usual, which is what the song requires. I've just been playing FII again after not being able to unglue LTE from the CD player for quite a while now. Do yerself a favour AJT, listen to it again and then some! N ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1998 19:15:52 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Once in a Livetime - final part. Message-ID: The sound is also very clear on Tape 1/CD1 complete with a few clams here and there, but it still never ceases to amaze me how they play it all. Promo Tape 1 (CD1). Side A. 1. ACOS I: the instrumental: starts with cheering and football chorus type vox (think PInk Floyd Meddle) from the audience over the laid-back intro which leads into Mikey's woodblock chuckling sounds. 2. ACOS II: where James's vox come in (life's a long song and it is about a life). 3. Puppies on Acid: THAT geetar rhythm (and THAT JP sound) once again, to a big cheer from the crowd, into the upfront kb (in fact the intro to The Mirror from Awake). 4. Just let Me Breathe carries straight on from track 3. I don't think James does breathe much in the long wordy bit at all in fact, esp at the end! Derek and JP really shred on this one, superbly together. Drum and bass in yer face. 5. Voices: John Myung playing the high bass melody which gradually moves down the fretboard and is joined by kb and guitar. I love the piano bit where the soft vocals start. Kick drum + bass accents build up the pressure. The conversation samples are there too. A real mix of contrasts this song. Features Del-Boy Sherinian heavily on Zep Kashmir kb sound and he does it well. Fine guitar squeal from JP before the mega-shred solo at the end of the song. JLB takes the prize for his vox just before the end. 6. Take The Time: starting with different kb from I+W and I liked them (little bit of Chewbacca on Crack and Steroids at the end). Mikey starts the vox and JLB takes over. Audience joins in with harmony Take the Time bits. Love that bass slide and the freebird guitar solo. Actually two mad drummer friends rang (Ralgex and Ryan) while this was playing so they got Mikey's ridiculous drum fills down the phone at high volume for calling me names just because I went to see Terry B and they didn't! Side B. 1. Keyboard Solo: Nice one (includes his riff from Lines in the Sand, into some ELP type stuff). Oh and anyone who slags of Del-Boy's live kb playing is talking out of their choccy starfish i.m.o! 2. Lines In The Sand: was it Del or was it John at the beginning? Little Weed knows the answer. According to John Myung this was the first song they ever wrote with Derek and what a first! Definitely in my top 10 DT songs which is fast stretching into a top 20. The guitar solo in this one is a complete musical orgasm. JP and MP handle backing vox duties. 3. Scarred: Mikey's drums scar your soul starting with little scratches from the ride cymbal. I love the alternative route to the ending on this one driving into 4. ACOS IV: Wonderful jazz/fusion stuff with Del-Boy and Johnny P chasing each other around with their melody lines like Tom & Jerry. 5. Ytse Jam: Classic. Mike P beats his cymbals to a pulp again and Derek cleans up with the classical piano Mozart bit. Johnny P shreds on riff with John Myung and MP yells out "Fasten your seatbelts Paris" as the whole band shred their way into his drum solo. 6. Drum Solo: 'Mad Mick McDrum' (copyright: Nikki Brooks) strikes again, taking no prisoners with his machine gun double bass drum parts, ETC!!!!!!! Thank you and goodnight (time for beddybyes). Bits win hands down don't ya think AJT? N ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 4311 **************************
