Message-ID: To Whom it May Concern, Something bothers me that has recently come to my attention. I'll appreciate you taking the time to let me share it with you. However, before I get to that, I want to establish a few things. I am not a crazed fan of Dream Theater, with nothing better to do. I am also not your typical "anti-radio" music listener who believes that a certain genre of music (or a certain band, as the case sometimes is) should dominate your format at the expense of any of the bands your other listeners are familiar with. I am by no means trying to shove anything down *your* throat, even though 93X and dozens of other radio stations across the US do a fine job of force-feeding the same songs to their listeners in a mindlessly repetitive fashion. That said, I'd like to briefly state my point of view on what was recently brought to my knowledge. As I know you're aware, Elektra has released the band Dream Theater's new single, "Home". Your station received a copy of this, and your program director decided that no one would be interested in hearing it. I am in absolute disagreement with this type of attitude. I'm sure you'd claim that the music you play is based on your listeners' best interests; shouldn't the listener be able to decide whether or not they're interested in the song *before* *YOU* decide not to play it? I am sure you are not the only station guilty of this, and I'm sure that *this* is a good part of the reason for many underrated bands' continued struggles to have their music (which may, for all we know, actually be *good*) exposed to the masses. I don't ask for you to respond to this e-mail with an explanation of or excuse for your rationale. I don't ask for you to immediately find "Home", play it a few times, and e-mail me stating that you have done so and still don't feel it's worth playing. I would simply ask that you seriously reconsider the type of "attitude" I'm referring to, and at least put the single in *light* rotation. What do you have to lose? If no one likes it, and no one requests it, then by all means remove it from your play list. On the other hand, if it does, I'll be happy. ;) And 93X listeners throughout the area will have a new song to listen to and enjoy. I thank you for your time and patience, and hope you will consider what I've addressed.

Sometimes to succeed on a 'diet' (metaphorically speaking of course) one has to practise total abstinence - like those who have unsubbed from the jam until the new album release date. For example, the mere 'smell' of chocolate can cause mega-salivation in an addict ;-) However, I suppose you can still go 'window-shopping' occasionally, just don't go into the chocolate shop .......

You can counter argue that with CDNow list results, but that's becuase the Dream Theater website points DT fans there. If it didn't, I'm sure SFAM wouldn't be up there.

This is their 4th studio release, and their 3rd on Atlantic (WEA). they've been making their label money for the last 10 years, which means that people have been buy their music for the last 10 years, and further, people have been LISTENING to their music for the last 10 years. Yet, you refuse to play their new material. i personally don't care what kind of crap your music director puts in his CD player at home, but i'm insulted that he would refuse his listening base what they want to hear. inferno NP: opeth - still life ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 19:38:37 +0100 From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Bj=F8rnar?= Bevolden To: "email_address_removed" , Subject: Looking for Living Death...

I guess the severity of this statement depends on which tri-state area you're referring to. I lived in NJ up until 5 years ago, and I always figured that THAT was THE tri-state area. Upon moving to Vermont, however, I learned that VT, NH, and ME also call themselves "the tri-state area", but I know better ;). I had never heard of DT before coming to VT. Quite a few people in this area are familiar with them, and I'm constantly surprised by the large number of DT fans up here. Talking to old friends in Jersey, none of them have even HEARD of DT... BTW, can't get any radio play up here, either...

Sure, it's not exactly the bands wishes (sorry guys!), but the overall response has been EXCELLENT in a store that mostly sells Limp Bizkit, DMB, Sarah Mclachlan, Creed (not like that's a bad thing), 311, Live...I think you get my point. I'd be willing to bet that due to extensive in-store play, I'll be selling at least 15 copies of SFaM on the 26th...versus the whole 1 or 2 copies other stores in town might sell to die-hard DT fans. So I guess my point is...the Veil thing isn't a bad thing, but I know in this area it sure won't help album sales. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 14:12:51 -0400 From: Jax To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Power of Omens mailing list Message-ID: A Power of Omens mailing list has been set up at Onelist.

Wartime (3:52) 2. Creation Point (5:40) 3. Big Bang (5:56) 4. Lost (Back Home) (7:26) 5. Routine (11:39) It isn't often you get the chance to hear progressive rock bands from Portugal, but here is a 5 track demo CD release from a band called Forgotten Suns. They are playing neo-symphonic rock, very much in the 80's vein with reminiscences to Arena, Marillion ca. "Script For A Jester's Tear" (1983) and Pendragon, and if you like these bands, Forgotten Suns won't disappoint you either. Maybe there are some Dream Theater reminiscences too, but not that obvious. There aren't any weak tracks at all on this demo, and even if they aren't magnificent they are showing a great starter for things to come. 4:45 minutes into the track "Lost (Back Home)" comes a part that is very reminiscent to Marillion's song "Forgotten Sons" from their "Script From A Jester's Tear" album. The band's name Forgotten Suns seems to be inspired from the same track. The highlight is the final epic track "Routine" that is +11 minutes long. The singer Linx is perhaps the true star in the band with a voice that is a mix between Jon Anderson and Fish. The recording quality as well as the compositions and arrangements are very good for a demo release. If you are missing Marillion's Fish era you can find comfort in this demo CD. A band with a great debut and a promising future! They seem to be working on an upcoming concept CD about the history of our planet. Doesn't that sounds interesting or what? I'm really looking forward to hear it for sure. -Reviewed by Greger R=F6nnqvist- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact Forgotten Suns: E-mail: email_address_removed or email_address_removed Forgotten Suns Website: http://www.forgottensuns.com/ Galileo Records Website, where you also can buy the demo on-line: http://members.xoom.com/Galileo_Rec/ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- 99-10-18 00.31 ---- S=E4nt till --------------------------- -> ytsejam(a)ax.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 17:52:49 -0500 From: "Mike & Susan Verstraete" To: "ytsejam" Subject: Cover art on CDNow ***Spoiler*** Message-ID: <000901bf18f2$582a9080$785099d1@default> Someone asked about the "missing"cover art on CD now for SFaM.
