However, what kind of fun is a mailing list without differing opinions from your own? To see how other people feel about things can give you a better understanding of your own prejudices. I feel that I'm pretty receptive to opinions contrary to my own, but these issues are no reason to get pissed. It's just a band. Personally, I think the Doc interjects a little balance into this community. Nobody is going to agree 100% of the time. If you don't like what someone writes, don't expound upon it. That is the quickest way to end threads. As the Beatles once sang: "Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting, unless it's Dream Theater related content of course, my friend." Meanwhile, in DT content-land, I found 5YiaL finally (1 copy left), not that I had a whole lot of time to look with rehearsals and perfromances and such. I look forward to watching it tonight/this weekend.

Breitweg" To: email_address_removed Subject: EARLY WARNING? Anyone remember them? Message-ID: Hi all, Way back when (at least 3-4 years ago) I got a tape from a band called EARLY WARNING and the tape is called _The Hero's Dream_. Does anyone know what happened to this band? There must have been a member on the Internet or something because I don't think that I would have found out about them any other way. I was just curious since I thought that this tape kicked ass and I would have loved to have the stuff on CD since I am afraid that the tape will die one of these days.

So, obviously there's an american (PAL) and an international version. So, the dutch release is the international version. (sorry, a bit weird, I know) Today I asked my record dealer here in Germany, but as you might guess, there's no vid even scheduled! Bastards! CDs? No problem. Vids? Gee, Dream Who? Is there anyone on this list, who knows something I (or we german Jammers) should know? bye, Oliver ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1998 17:27:04 -0500 From: "Scott Sturdivant" To: Subject: MD to CD (live) Message-ID: <00c001be09d4$96888a40$message_id_removed> Could someone please send me detailed directions on the easiest and the most accurate way to convert a MD of a concert to CD. My CDR program is the lovely Adaptec stuff, but I do have a trial version of CDRWIN. I should also be getting cool edit pro soon, which I've heard is good because you can zoom in on the sound file to make the file end with no silence remaining, and then on the next song, have it start at the same place. Again, if someone could give me a little help here, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

I LIKE to argue. I could argue that Metallica sucks (imo) all day, >as >long as there's someone who disagrees, and ENJOY IT. If you like to argue, then why are you getting on our cases for arguing? I think there's nothing better than a good natured argument, though they do sometimes get outa hand. I don't expect anyone to conform to my opinion. I just think it's great to share opinions, and hear opinions. What a dull place this would be without different opinions. I don't ever want to expect anyone to believe like I do, I just hope they at least rethink they're own argument in light of the points I (and others) bring up. Thats what I try to do anyway...

Avalon have just released their third album called "Vision Eden" (see forthcoming review), and here is the interview: Here we go: 1. To begin with! Are you satisfied with the response to your previous album "Mystic places"? Do you have any idea about how many copies it has sold worldwide? The success is increasing from year to year. Mystic Places sold more copies in the foreign countries, because the advertising, marketing and promotion are in our hand. Our own record company makes sure, that the distributors in other countries get the records on time to be able to sell them. We had a lot of interviews, radio airplays and for ex. we had a No.ONE Radio Hit, with "I'm falling'" in the radio charts of Romania. We hope our new album sells as much as possible. We hope that the new CD "Vision Eden" will rule the Metal world. 2. Your new album is here. Tell us something about it. How long have you been working on the album? "Vision Eden" took only one year to compose and to record the songs. We celebrated the 2nd of November, the release Date of V.E. on the whole world, with champagne in a Munich Rock club. We finished a lot work, and we are really satisfied with the result. The whole working time in the "Heizraum-Studio" was effective and we used every second to give the best. Also we had a big advantage, cause Charly Bauerfeind produced this CD again. He is a fantastic producer. 3. Can you tell me something about the songs? Do you have any personal favorites? "Vision Eden" picks up the mystic place of Eden as topic and is set all around the old vision of paradise on earth. In a mixture of present and fiction the vision of a new Eden suddenly comes to a dubious end ... My favorites are "Dancing with the devil" and "In between us". 4. Are there gonna be any singles released? Which song will be the first then? Our plans are to record a "live" Vision Eden CD, or a single with the best-played song on that album. At the moment, we just finished this CD and we are looking forward to get good replies from all over the world, then we decide what kind of surprises we'll do in the future. 5. Just like Van Halen you all take credits for writing the songs. Is it a fact that all of you are participating in the writing of every song? that's true. We spend our time all together in the practice-room to compose songs, like rock-"bands" do, to give their songs a human touch, if you know what I mean. Very often new ideas are coming up while you are playing your instrument together with the other musicians from the band. It is fantastic grooving on one part for maybe fifteen minutes and then you forget time and place. We give our heart and soul to every part of a song. We are musicians and like playing our instruments. Musicians can imagine, what a great feeling it is, to play their own stuff on stage. It makes fun. 6+7 Why did drummer Peter Kei and singer Many St=FCrner leave the band? And how do the new members; drummer Ronny Dehn and the singer Chitral Somapala fit in the band? Ringo can't play anymore because he has trouble with his back. We were all sad that he left the band, because he was since the beginning with us. Together we conquered America and Canada. He is still one of our AVALON family and a good friend. The next time, after he left the band, had been very hard for us, because we were in urgent need of a professional drummer within the next weeks, who is able to play the complete program for the autumn tour last year. At least, we found Ronny's advertisement in the World Wide Web. He played in the audition the whole Mystic Places up and down, and went on tour with us. After this fire test he joined the group and stayed. Soon we composed and recorded the new stuff of "Vision Eden". Many lost his voice while recording, but he tried hard to sing on the tape, but a voice is not like an instrument, that you can tune properly and play it. He would need a rest of a year, but he decided to leave the band, cause his health was of course more important than anything else. Normally we had stopped the production, but we have enough obligations and offers from distributors and factories, that we looked forward to find a new vocalist. And there he was. We met Chity, who is from Sri Lanka, and we did know immediately that he would be our new singer. He's absolute great! 8. How do you feel about working with the well-known producer Charlie Bauerfeind? Does he have any influence on the music? Does he have any aspects to your music in the studio? Charly is the best. We all are glad to have Charlie on our side again because he is always like a very good friend to us and a very talented producer. He did not change much at the songs, but that what he changed gave the songs the right touch. He is an artist in recording and mastering the songs, the result is fantastic again. 9. Do you feel that Progressive Metal is a correct description to your music? Or would you label it in another way? Worldwide, we have our place in the progressive marked. But we play a wide range of music from melodic songs, power metal songs, and prog. songs and easy to listen to songs. Something for everyone... 10. Are you self-taught musicians or do you have any other musical training? We all studied our instruments and we play and practice a lot. So I learned playing at the BSM (Bass School), Sebastian learned at the MGI (Munich Guitar Institute) and all the other learned at private and well-known musicians. 11. Can each one of you name five albums that have inspired you? You can find every kind of influence in every kind of music, especially in the meantime. All styles are mixed together. It belongs to the instruments that you play how you will get influenced. There is nothing special, that we all listen to, and maybe it would be better for every musician to listen to every kind of music that opens your heart. Dream Theater / all albums T.M. Stevens / Boom Queensryche / Operation Mindcrime Stevie Salas / all albums Tony Mc Alpine / all albums 12. Have you ever played in Sweden, Norway, Finland or Denmark? Do you have any plans to play there in the future? No, unfortunately not! But we work on it. It would be a great pleasure for us to tour your country / your area. AVALON is a live band and we need the good feedback from the audience. Have fun and good luck... greetings from Petra H. -Interview by Greger Ronnqvist- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Email: email_address_removed.se Snail Mail: Greger Ronnqvist Risselasvagen 66 B 833 35 Stromsund Sweden ICQ No: 17275819 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Join the Prog-Reviews Mailing List: http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/prog-reviews ------------------------------------------------------------------ Sonitus (http://www.apm.se/sonitus/) Tarkus (http://home.sol.no/~prognet/tarkus/) Wanted (http://members.xoom.com/moriensis/wanted/wanted.htm) Prog Net (http://www.prog.net/) Fun News (http://www.funnews.nu/) Zeitgeist (http://members.tripod.com/~zeitgeist_scot/) ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- 98-11-07 02.46 ---- S=E4nt till --------------------------- -> ytsejam(a)ax.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1998 19:10:47 -0600 From: email_address_removed (Dale R Newberry) To: email_address_removed Subject: Over the Rhine Message-ID: Hey if anyone's interested, Over the Rhine and Cowboy Junkies are playing a free concert at The Blue Note in Columbia, MO Sat.
