As I mentioned in a previous PS, I got a new job recently and it turns out Aztec Jade bassist Bryan Kowalski works at the same place. A real cool guy who found it hard to believe that I actually LIKED their music. I had to name a few songs off and then he believed me. He also had no idea that some of you folks here on the Jam like his band. Again, it took some major convincing! He was very appreciative. They are almost finished with their new CD. Of course they have contributed "Another Day" to the Dream Theater tribute CD. Check out their NEW web site at http://www.aztecjade.com/ and see Bryan's work (a web guy). And pick up one of their CDs: "Frame Of Mind" or "Modern Prophet".

It is what you should reference your recording against. When you have made your recording, you can upload it via FTP to cout.dhs.org, with a username of 'ytsejam' and using your email address as your password. You can upload right to the directory that you get logged into. You can also download any files that might have been uploaded already into the directory, to see how your sound card matches up to other peoples' cards or to their synths :) To those people who offered help, you have my thanks. :) ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh email_address_removed http://cout.dhs.org/ Cloak on IRC ICQ: 2513441 ------------------------------------------------- Sometimes, when I would read a very good book, I would stop and thank my teacher.

As a matter of fact, this was going to be my next project after A Change of Seasons, but it's going to be quite a while, judging on how long it's taken me to work on this particular song.

Okay, 'Nightguest' isn't a live track, it's a studio outtake from the 'Oceanborn' sessions. The song is also found on the 'Walking In The Air' CD single. The version with the 3 extra tracks is the French 'Limited European Tour Edition' of 'Oceanborn', the tracks which are, 'Nightguest', Sleeping Sun' (which is also on the newer pressings of 'Oceanborn' and 'A Return To The Sea' which is on the original collectors edition of 500 only of 'Angles Fall First' CD, special 7 track album. 'Sleeping Sun' was also released as a single in Germany only last year. You got all that :) ? I got my copy with the 3 bonus tracks from the Spinefarm label manager when I was in Finland so I have no idea if it's still available, I doubt it. Yes collecting the various versions of this great CD is becoming an expensive habit :) >P.P.S. Still waiting for a reasonably priced version of Lemur Voice's "Division" to be made available. *Sigh* That would be 'Divided', great CD, I think www.moremetal.com has it for a decent price. gaz http://www.ozemail.com.au/~ytsejam ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2000 23:46:35 -0800 From: "Trevor W.

The american (yes I said American - Angra is now on Century Media in
america, for those of you who dont know, and believe me its a cool
feeling to walk into Tower and see the new Angra album for sale on
the shelves :) ) version of the Freedom Call EP has three tracks from
the acoustic show - Angels Cry, Chega de Saudade, and Never
Understand.

BTW, anyone know if and when Angra will ever tour the US?  As I
recall, they played the Milwalkee Metal Fest last summer, but thats
it.  Hey Mike, if you're reading, Ive got a great band for an opening
act next time DT comes around the states :-D

The Tabernacle is an old church that was converted into a concert venue. During the '96 Olympics it was opened as a House of Blues. It then closed for a while and re-opened as The Tabernacle. There is a small stage in the cellar and the larger mainstage upstairs. It's a pretty large venue. Certainly much larger than The Masquerade where DT played on the FII tour. The floor slopes a bit so that you can get a pretty good view from wherever you might be. There is also a balcony, but I don't know much about the view up there. It's a nice place to see a concert. I was hoping they would choose The Tabernacle for the Met 2000 tour! You can visit The Tabernacle online at http://www.tabernaclemusic.com/.

OK, it's the only film I've seen this year (hey, the year is less than a month old) but it's still damn good entertainment. It does clock in at the over 3 hour mark, but it zips right along so you don't really notice the length. I have a review half-written that I'll post on my site sometime soon, if I can get a bunch of other nonsense out of the way. I used to write movie reviews all the time, and sort of got out of the habit. Plus, I was supposed to write reviews for a new site (for actual money!) that never got off the ground. So I guess I'll start doing them myself again. I'm sure this is now far more information than you wanted about me, so I'll just say go see Magnolia if you like original filmmaking, as opposed to films that spring from either lame-assed TV shows or as an excuse to expand the action-figure selection at Toys R Us.

You can read a review on my website at www.pi-r-squared.com/brad/ go to movies. Audacious, well done, intelligent, and entertaining. I will say, however, that it is NOT for everybody. It's one of those love it or hate it flick. In the three times that I've seen it we've ranged from nearly 20 people walking out to a bunch of people near applauding at the end.
