Last thing I heard about Alice In Chains is that they DID break up. >> You are correct sir...it was STP that played the Viper recently, however, Alice is still together (for the moment at least). Alice's product manager at Columbia Records (who I spoke with last week) told me they are definitely still a band. A highlights (from their box set) cd is coming out in June and the box set will be out in Fall.

No, he's right. *Both* bands have the same problem and both didn't broke up (check any of these bands' related sites)... Coincidence??

Ryan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 00:14:20 -0400 From: Ryan Park To: email_address_removed Subject: Encores, Legends and Paradox Message-ID: I got the tribute CD last week, without ever listening to any original Emerson Lake and Palmer. This CD ROCKS! The melodies are great, the music is very "prog" yet easy to get into, and the keyboard sounds are really fun and upbeat! It's a very fun CD to listen to; I especially like "Karn Evil 9" and "The Sheriff." Being a keyboardist, the keyboard parts are really great. It's fun to listen to Jordan and Derek's signature sounds -- the songs sound like other things THEY might have written! Also, after listening to this, I can certainly hear some ELP in Dream Theater songs. The only ELP I've ever heard was a couple of minutes of something (maybe Karn Evil 9?) before deciding it was way too "over-the-top"; I turned it off. Based on what I like here, does anyone have any recommendations for a beginning ELP purchase? How "old" do the original ELP albums sound? I really like the new, upbeat sounds on this album, and I'm concerned I'll never get into an older ELP album, because of the sound. (On the other hand, I love Spock's Beard, and they've got one of the "oldest" rock sounds out there.) So, any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Although I see where you're coming from, I think that's a bit harsh. I don't remember what CD the post was referring to, but I believe the original poster's intent is fairly reasonable. Geez, seeing as DT is my favorite group (in my particular case), it's very reasonable to assume that I might enjoy SOME of the same music they do. If I read somewhere that JP and MP and the boys absolutely LOVE a particular CD, I won't take it as Gospel that I will love it too..... but it's very likely I'd give it a look. --- Al B.

(Seriously though, Alanis on tour with Tori? C'mon, Tori, you're better than that bitch; why why why???? Someone please redeem this by telling me that Alanis will be opening for Tori and then getting lost... Anyway, to the point. I'd like to commend to the 'Jam the new Afro Celt Sound System album, "Volume II: Release". If you're only into the hard and heavy stuff, this probably isn't for you. For the rest of us, this is about as progressive as it gets. It's also far-and-away one of the best releases I've heard this year, with rapturous melodies swirling over the top of lush, thick synth pads, and coalescing with - apologies for using such technical terms - cool-as-ice weird African rhythm stuff. For those who really can't live without virtuoso performances on an album, they're here aplently; with complex 16th- note Irish fiddle stuff in weird scales. My jaw hasn't dropped this low in a long time, so light up some incense, turn down the lights and soak it up. Then play it again; then reach for the guitar and hit play yet again for a bloody complex technique lesson.

Quote from this song "Knives cutting into me/Scalpels rip me/screaming into deaf ears/they stop and see my tears" 2. Fucked with a Knife this is downright disturbing Quote-"From behind/i cut her crotch/in her a**/i stick my c**k/killing as i cum" 3..........the rest of this cd was the same theme....imagine that?! ill leave with a final choice quote-"Bone fragments clot to the hatchet/knee-deep in the blood of the dead/cranial seperation/sex with her severed head This music is bad for you! m"Kay???!!-----Mr. Mackay _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Because he's so off his usual boring shredder style that he actually plays something meaningful. Track "Dislocated" featuring PAUL GILBERT open the album and it really rocks! The bass here is very characteristic, very interesting style. He has this cool tone of the bass. This is not prog at all, just a good guitars rock.

He > was so quick..playing these wild runs over all the changes and jigging > around on the bench and stabbing at the keys like a crazed loon Hmm...I've just recently gotten into Bill Evans - talk about someone who could twist and contort a standard. It seems there are endless musicians who can do a few things well, but few who excel in every aspect of playing. Evans seems to be firmly among the latter, as does McKinney, if he's all you describe. I, too, would be interested in checking him out. As an aside, if you're ever unsure of a musicians output, http://www.allmusic.com is probably THE definitive online music guide for jazz, rock, and really anything. You can search on a specific musician and it'll return their discography, along with appearances on other artist's albums. I pretty much live at that site when making buying decisions, and I think that for the most part, their ratings are on the mark.

The Light is my first SB album and it rolled completely over me. I find quite alot of seventies Genesis influences in it (mellotron, rhythm stuff,...), but a bit more jazzy. Anyway, I'm hesitating what to buy next. Some say I'll be disappointed when I buy their latest release, so I guess it'll be DFN.
