I was wondering about all the song titles having strange thingies around the letters. This would explain it, of course.

How do you DO that? I can't get little symbols for nothing.

How do you DO that?

you're on Windows, right? there's a little program called "character Map", I believe. it can generate all that funky stuff for you...

It's a piece of cake on the Wonderful Macintosh™, and just slightly more complicated on the Evil™, Nasty™ Windoesn't systems. As someone else pointed out, just find the character map utility. It's got all KINDS of cool stuff in it.

Roger -Dot- Lee, disappointed that Windoze doesn't support Cyrillic like it should.

Greetings and salutations, music lovers!

In keeping with my rank stubbornness, I have again uploaded and configured a whole BUNCH of Jim's handiwork for your enjoyment.

Personally, I'm REALLY looking forward to some of the Steve Stevens. Flamenco guitar just makes me squeal like a little kid sometimes.

Anyway, again, in no particular order....

• Dream Theater - Awake
• Stevens, Steve - Flamenco A Go Go
• Dream Theater - Images And Words
• Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory
• Dream Theater - The Silent Man
• Stevens, Steve - Flamenco A Go Go
• Dream Theater - When Dream And Day Unite
• The Flower Kings - Stardust We Are
• Lest - 3937
• Pain Of Salvation - Entropia
• Stevens, Steve - Flamenco A Go Go
• Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element Part I
• Stevens, Steve - Flamenco A Go Go

Did I mention that I REALLY like Flamenco guitar?

Enjoy! I'll likely be stuffing the queue as time and circumstance allows.

Roger -Dot- Lee, trying NOT to make Stevens, Steve the next Mike Oldfield.

For the moldy used as cannon fodder beef roulade's sake!!!!!!!!

It's revolution, I was execting everything but not Dream Theater!! How was it possible?

And big thanks for two albums I really love, The Perfect Element and Stardust We Are. Phenomenal stuff! Thank you guys!!

[Rick and Roll]

we have crossed over the bridge.....on the wings of Charon....to the dark side!

Thanks to Woj, to remind me Stardust is updated. I skipped over it - I was so dumbfounded by the Theater!

Anyway, I have three of the four added

Roger - you're not bucking for Billy Idol are you?

Have at it people I'll be back tomorrow.

[moses]

Horror. Revulsion. Fear. Disbelief. Hopelessness...

Searching...

RELIEF!

The DT additions are single songs, not entire albums. Some of them are instrumental tracks. Whew.

[progdirjim(Admin)]

hehehehe

haven't had this much morning forum activity in awhile.

Yes, the DT additions are individual tracks. They are a subset of those Tommy (he of Extended Play fame) hand picked awhile ago. I pared a few out, and I'm comfortable with the ones added. If all DT sounded like these, we'd have more of them.

That Steve Stevens is a find. I knew he was a reasonably talented guitarist when he played with Billy, but his work with Bozzio-Levin-Stevens was a pleasant surprise. A friend turned me on to this solo album, and I really like it. Feedback is welcome.

Billy Idol being added? If you thought DT was a long shot...

and no other comments on Pain Of Salvation? Some people call them prog-metal. My description to Avian awhile back was this: DT is a prog band playing metal music. POS is a metal band playing prog music. It may sound subtle, but it's a significant difference. At least in my opinion...

that is the quote of the year, perhaps.
is English your second language Woj? If so, I'm impressed. Hell, even if it's not, I'm impressed.

I'm going to use this quote somewhere. I don't quite know where yet, but I will. Somewhere.

I will be pushing up daisies after having been run over by a runaway herd of wild Alpaca before I EVER request, push for, or do anything but burn, crush, incinerate, or fling from high locations, anything by Billy Idol.

Roger -Dot- Lee "EEEWWWW!!!"

[Steady Stan]

"Eyes without a Face" is a good song - great guitar work on it.

The snarl ain't bad either...

Oh you must not have heard his Cyberpunk album.






Oh wait, neither did I.

I bought the BLS first one, and I liked it at first but it bored me later. SS is a good guitarist though.

I have to listen to Pain some more. It's not the genre that concerns me it's just unexciting.

Alpaca? there's a visual.....

OK, now that everyone is over the shock of DT, I've got a bit of feedback on the Steve Stevens album.

I am personally very glad that I heard his work before I was aware that he was at one time associated with Billy Idol, or that would likely have jaded me away from what has turned out to be one of the best albums on the Moon. Now I'm quite aware that there might be others that disagree with me, and, as I've said in the past, they're all welcome to their opinion, no matter how wrong it is. This has become, in my opinion, one of the better sleepers on the entire site. It's NOT just Flamenco guitar, but an interesting fusion of Flamenco with assorted and sundry other styles.

And he makes it WORK!

This is a real gem, Jim. Ya hit the jackpot on this one.

Roger -Dot- Lee, STILL groovin' on it.

[podakayne]

as reading this section forwards....

with a rebel yell she cried. "more, more, more!"


i must make the request sometime soon
(of course less is more

[teermin8r]

So when did the one song by Pineapple Thief get added and where is the rest of the album. Mossy turned me on to this wonderful group. Hope the rest of the cd makes here too.

It's a single track that was part of a Gnosis show a few months ago.

As for the rest of the CD, well....

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Greetings, faithful readers!

We've just made a nice little update to the library. I ran a few of the tracks earlier today, and liked what I heard. I may take a few moments on occasion and randomly slap one on the queue (new music manager's perogative).

Anyhoo, here they are:

• Programme D'Experience - Thought Molecules
• Stealing The Fire - Hot Ice & Wondrous Strange Snow
• Zen Rock and Roll - End Of The Age

Enjoy!

Roger -Dot- Lee, liking the Zen one so far....

[podakayne]

i heard all 3 of those today...and i was very busy...but took note of the names in my itunes player....i like all 3!

your work is seamless but not unnoticed!

great additions
thanks
