He told me that Warners were less than popular with record stores up and down the country (though he didn't reveal why) and intimated that the larger chains were deliberately not ordering their disks - aside from the sure-fire winners. Guess this means that OiaL aint gonna feature in the Nation's Rock chart in the near future. ( Anyone else in a position to confirm/expand on this?

A couple jammers asked intelligent questions (i.e. Tempus and Dhiran), but most of the questions were either stupid or easily found in the FAQ. Why not have a special "jammer chat" with the band on our very own irc.dreamt.org? Most of us have read the FAQ, so we can get right to the unanswered questions that would give us a much better idea of DT.

I bought it at a Eugene, OR store called CD World. This is starting to seem like some kind of printing error in which the first run of discs was accidentally printed with the promo graphic.

Most of us We did that awhile back with Mike P and it seemed to work rather well. I thought more of these were expected to be planned, but none ever have. People asked fairly decent questions, but none of my highly intelligent ones like "What did you have for dinner last night?" never went through. :\ Think about it... The only way to play like Mike is to follow the same dietary regimen as he does, plain as that. :) >off my $20 to get in the fan club and get all sorts of goodies but how much >postage do I need to put on it to send it overseas? To me, your best bet would be to wander into your local post office to send it. They mark and label it with the exact postage needed to send it. Guessing on overseas shipping is not an option very often. :) I'm not sure but I think most overseas mail needs to be cleared with the USPS anyway. At least I've had to on some "parcels" I've sent in the past....... >I would just like to say that the double CD case that came with my copy of Weird.. To me, this 2CD case is the best I've seen yet.

Message-ID: Listen to Mr. Audet, kiddies. Yes, I know, I tend to promote Mr. Craddick and Enchant to an excessive degree, but I just got a copy of Xen, and it really is a wonderful disc. I'm finding it as pleasant a surprise as I did Chromakey - just very refreshing. It reminds me that I listen to MUSIC, not just prog-metal. Imagine a lighter, funkier Enchant with even stronger vocal melodies, and you've got Xen. It's a bad year to throw another offering into the fray, but Xen really is a worthy addition to my collection.

Very similiar to the Awake sound. It's badassed, and I seriously HOPE that it appears again and again on DT releases. :) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 22:19:11 -0300 From: "Matija" To: Subject: royal hunt tabs?

I'm sure I'll agree. :) Paul is one of my favorite drummers and I've got high hopes for this one. From what I've heard of Chromakey I'm expecting the same. I'm still not sure why I haven't ordered that. :P Laziness I guess. :) Another good side project I recommend is Jason's "Houston, We Have a Problem" by Saigon Kick's Jason Bieler (guitarist/singer/writer). Now, for the last two albums, Jason has basically "been" SK, and this album is almost the lost SK album, but I tell ya, if you liked Saigon Kick at all, just pick this one up... (breath) Except the only place to find it (I think) is at http://www.bvbmusic.com/ . I think you can get ahold of SK's newest completely unreleased album from them. And also, I guess Jason has another side project called "Super Trans-Atlantic" that's supposed to be a big winner. I haven't heard anything about it other than it's supposed to appeal to the current musical trends (in other words, it'll probably suck). Anyway, what's wrong with me? I've been divulging viable information to the jam of late rather than my normal useless drivel... Or maybe not... YOU make the call. :) -- KorgX3 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 21:52:08 -0500 From: Phil Carter To: A Pleasant Shade of Ytse Subject: re: OIAL cases Message-ID: Greetings ye 'jamanoids.....

I know it is on a CD called "Homegroan" put out by a station in Tulsa. I contacted the station, but the CD is no longer in print. Does anybody out there have this version? I am willing to send a tape to dub it off, and pay for postage. This version is also on a special CD single sent out to radio stations. If anyone has that connection, I would sure appreciate it. If you haven't heard the "Monsoon" CD from Caroline Spine, check it out. I highly recommend it. Thanks.
