It's interesting to see he's still pursuing that.

You won't be disappointed. Khan's vocal performance reminded me why he is one of my favourite vocalists on the metal scene. Stephan Lill's guitar work is close to perfect. And a special mention for two great keyboard performances by Guenter Werno (he plays on both albums). Talking of Guenter Werno, go check out the new Elegy album "Forbidden Fruit" because he does a grand job there as well. Oh, and Khan says "Let's get ready to rumble" in the introduction to the track "Millenium" so let's sue the shit out of him! stay safe and happy listening Neil Gallop (email_address_removed) Currently playing: AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM - Release ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 09:30:12 -0400 From: "HJ Rivera" To: Subject: Re: Just a thought...

If I were to offer you any advice, it would be to wait as long as you can to buy the player. It seems that prices go down almost daily. So If you're waiting for the Roseland DVD, get the player the day before it comes out!

I've played it multiple times now, and I can tell you, Dreamcast is 200x better in terms of game quality at the moment. Granted, that could change, but no need to spend that much money on PS2 with crap games when you could wait for a price drop when there are better. Don't waste your money getting a PS2 on release day. Besides, they can't even make their own system right. They didn't order the right # of parts, so they halved the number of PS2s being shipped on reease. They think 500,000 is enough, especially after stores already got the number they were going to get from the 1,000,000 shipment? Retarded. Anyways, that's just my take on it. I'll get PS2, of course; But I'll wait for a price drop and some good games. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 17:54:09 -0500 (CDT) From: "D.

Well, most DVD players that feature DTS just pass it through, so you'd better make sure your receiver can decode DTS as well (if that is an option you care for) I have the Sony DVP-S550D DVD player and I love it. Coupled with a DTS receiver (European Sony model STR-DB930), movies with a good DTS soundtrack really kick (the difference between Saving Private Ryan in DTS and regular DD5.1 is pretty noticeable)... >by the way... > >SFAM-DVD better be in DTS =) Yeah... especially if they did some of the cool things liek in the King Crimson DVD... isolation of a particular player via video angle and sound (very cool to hear and see what each member is up to)... ~Michael Kizer < email_address_removed > < ICQ # 2070538 > "Enter ivory gates through midnight skies..." ~ http://www.ivorygate.com >>> Fates Warning ~ Island In The Stream <<< >>> Dream Theater and Kevin Moore "Unofficial" Song Books <<< >>> Underground Internet Radio at: http://www.ytseradio.com <<< ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2000 01:18:37 EDT From: email_address_removed To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: "Let's Get Ready To CRUMBLE" Message-ID: So I guess that this would set a precedent enabling any band/artist to sue if someone was to sing along to a cd or the radio?!?!?!

Nightwish to Release a DVD! Late breaking news reveal that Nightwish has signed a contract with Spinefarm Records to release a DVD. This is the first time a Finnish band releases a full-time DVD live video. In addition to the complete gig to be played in Tampere, Finland on the 29th of December, the DVD will include all the videos Nightwish has released so far, plus clips from the South American tour and the upcoming European tour. These clips mean backstage scenes, interviews and other things that will surely grab the interest of fans. The Tampere gig will be shot with 5 or 6 cameras and the sound will be recorded with no sacrifices to the quality, possibly with the expertise of Mikko Karmila. The post-production of the sound track will be done at the Finnvox studios in Helsinki. The DVD is planned to be released in April 2001, roughly at the same time as the new MCD by Nightwish. -- Tanja ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 5630 **************************
