Indeed, I have walked out on them twice live after about an hour. To me their sound is really decent except for the fact that they never kick it into gear. When I listen to them I get bored after about 20 minutes. That said as background, I really do like the new CD. I recall double bass drumming and even a few power chords !!!! :) The last song actually kicks major ass. In summary, if you were like me you may actually want to give this new CD a chance !!

Here are a couple excerpts for Ytsejammers. Available now from Radiant Records Transatlantic/Building the Bridge ....VHS-NTSC Transatlantic/Building the Bridge ....VHS-PAL "TRANSATLANTIC - BUILDING THE BRIDGE - The making of Bridge Across Forever" There are some experiences that do not translate well to film. Making an album can be one of them because it is such a long arduous process, but, somehow, this new Transatlantic video does the impossible. It takes you through every part of the journey, through each of the member's eyes, from the uncertain start to the triumphant finish, in just under 2 hours!! You'll feel like you were there while they made this extraordinary album. From the writing process at NEAL MORSE'S house, to MIKE PORTNOY'S amazing drum cam footage, to ROINE STOLT'S stunning guitar work, to PETE TREWAVAS spot on bass playing, you'll get to see and hear the music that made it on the album, and some that was left behind. Plus, there are a lot of wacky antics as well. See MIKE PORTNOY take 3 hours to put on his own cymbals, and the now infamous 'map of Afghanistan Tongue' tribal dance...well, you'll just have to see it! The quality of the footage is incredible! Shot on Sony Digi-cams and edited entirely in the digital domain, 'BUILDING THE BRIDGE' should satisfy even the snootiest video connoisseur. It also comes in a beautiful 4 color box designed by Martin Kornick. Coming soon from Jordan Rudess Jordan Rudess/4NYC ....CD 4NYC is a Jordan Rudess album of solo improvisations - acoustic and electronic, before a live audience and in the studio. The live tracks were taken from a benefit concert to raise money for the American Red Cross in response to the tragedy of September 11. Jordan performs on a fantastic 9 foot Steinway Grand as well as a Kurzweil 2600 and a Korg Karma. A portion of the proceeds from sales of this CD will be sent to charitable organizations in memory of the lives lost on September 11, 2001. soundbite - Gary ************************************************************** Gary Davis The Artist Shop The Other Road http://www.artist-shop.com email_address_removed phone: 877-856-1158, 330-929-2056 fax:330-945-4923 INDEPENDENT PROGRESSIVE MUSIC!!! ************************************************************** Artist Shop Radio Check out the latest Artist Shop newsletter at http://www.artist-shop.com/news.htm ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2002 19:12:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Alexis Ramos To: ytsejam Subject: All That I Bleed (formerly known as Dreamline) Message-ID: Hello!!! I want to put in my word about a new band from Puerto Rico that's soon going to be releasing it's debut cd. The band is called All That I Bleed, although it was formerly known as Dreamline. For those of you who have the Fates Warning Tribute album, they are the band who covered the song Nothing Left to Say. I've had their new cd for a few days, and I must say that IMO it's great. Their sound is reminiscent of Fates Warning around Perfect Symmetry and No Exit, although they can't be labeled as a Fates clone. They add some fusion stuff to some of their songs, and they have a great mix of heaviness and melody. The guys are great musicians, especially the bass player and the guitar player, who can shred while still maintaining the melodic aspect of his solos. The drummer and lead singer are very solid as well. The singer's voice might get a little time to get used to, but he's a very good singer. If you want to check them out (which I recommend you sould), you can go to their website www.allthatibleed.com and read all about them as well as download an mp3 of one of their songs, I Stand Alone. Information about the release of the cd will be available on their website. Any feedback will be appreciated. Bye!!! Alexis __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
