Subject: Voivoid - Phobos Message-ID: I bought "Voivod - Phobos" on a friend's recommendation...and it's become obvious that we enjoy very different types of music. :-) Consequently, I'm offering it up for trade/sale, if anyone wants it. It has the two tracks "M-Body" and the cover "21st Century Schizoid Man". A trade for maybe something a little more melodic.

What good is error correction if the > signal handling devices themselves are susceptible to RF interference? > Would you care to elaborate on this a bit? Here's how I understand this: Digital audio is 1's and 0's, either the signal is there or it isn't, there aren't degrees of signal quality. You're using data transfer (ie the same mechanism by which CD-ROMs run). You simply cannot be losing bits during such a transfer (else how would a cd-rom program run? Having random bits removed from an executable program would probably be bad), and if you still have all the bits exactly the same as they were on the original CD how can you have lost any sound quality? Granted if you get enough interference I suppose it could shut your computer down altogether, but in a normal environment I fail to see... In order for their to be ANY loss in sound quality bits must be getting lost somewhere, and I don't see where that happens. I don't claim to be an expert on these matters, but I really don't understand some of the arguments that are being made. Feel free to enlighten me.

Message-ID: So with all this talk about top guitarists (old and new), who are the top rock shredders from the 90's? The decade is almost over, and it seems like a bad decade for rock/metal guitarists. (Maybe just a bad decade for rock in general...) ]From the 70's: Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Micheal Schenker, Ronnie Montrose, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eddie Van Halen, etc. ]From the 80's: Randy Rhoads, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Vinnie Moore, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Jake E. Lee, etc. How about the 90's? Is John Petrucci the only one? Jerry Cantrell? Micheal Romeo (Does he count?, He doesn't even have a domestic (US) record deal.), Dimebag Darryl? Who/where are the major shredders from the 90's? - BH NP - Angra/Angel's Cry _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

You simply cannot be losing bits during >such a transfer (else how would a cd-rom program run? Having random bits cd readers have error correction. that's why you can still play a CD that's visibly scratched - once you can see the scratch there's no doubt that some of the pits and flats have been altered. it can make up for a certain amount of missing bits. so yes, even if you lost bits, it woudn't stop working altogether, although the bits stuck in by the error correction algorithm aren't the same as the original ones, and after quite a few generations i'm sure you'd be able to audibly notice the difference. i'm no expert either, i only have a basic understanding of all this stuff (although i'm a computer engineering major so i'll be learning it all soon, i'm sure :), but that's what i udnerstand. maybe someone like rogerio or sumfin who actually knows about thsi stuff technically can expand what i said? also, i'm curious - what's CRC, exatcly? i know when you're extracting a compressed file it has CRC checks (i asume to verify that the extracted file matches the original) and i also assume that this is extended to cd reading. info? moo. *** END OF TRANSMISSION *** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Dec 1998 16:09:05 -0400 (EDT) From: CLARK ABEL To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Less is more...

It was freakin awsome! He played some stuff from LTE (Paradigm Shift and Universal Mind), DT (Metropolis and Erotomania) and he did some stuff from The New LTE CD which was made last week. The song "Acid Rain" is new LTE, and should appear on their second album. If the rest of the album is as good as Acid Rain (which im sure as hell it will be), then this album is a must get. on another note, Metropolis Part II will "definitely" be on the next DT album, according to Mike. After the clinic, Mike signed autographs and such. My friend asked him for his sticks, ans sure enough, he had his wife bring them down.. I was sitting in the front row of the show.. I got there extra early to make sure I hit these seats.. Me and like 10 of my boyz went together, but some guy from New Jersey was there before us.. either way the show was awsome, and I cant wait till december 29 when DT hits irving plaza. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Dec 1998 15:36:03 -0600 From: "Brian D.
