I saw Soundgarden twice last summer and they played Half each time (same set list) but they didn't play it like the album version. There were no vocals - it was a *brilliant* instrumental version showcasing some moving guitar harmonies. I loved it and thought it was one of the concert's highlights (besides, of course, when they played Flower and I looked around and saw a few fans who were wearing Black Hole Sun T-shirts and looking pretty confused...) > >Thanks, and as always, all opinions are welcome... > >Jackhammer >Self-Appointed Music Anthologist (don't get me started on Faith No More >anthologies, or suffer the consequences of an avid FNM fan going right off :>) Feel free to go off about FNM - I think they're geniuses. I want to ask you your opinion now - are you in to Mr. Bungle? For some reason I've never checked them out and now they're coming to Austin in December and I don't want to miss a show I might enjoy. If you've heard their new album or any of their stuff, will you write me back and tell me about it? I heard that the new album if pretty different from their previous stuff, but I know nothing about it. Thanks- Krissy ------------------------------ Subject: Cyberian Rhapsody From: seth Did anyone attend Cyberian Rhpasody? As someone else mentioned, I got the email that said "we'll send you more email later on today that will tell you where and when to listen to the concert." I never got the second piece of email, so I didn't get to hear the concert. If anyone did attend, please let me know how it was, and if you managed to save the Soundgarden segment as a RealAudio file, please please please let me know so that I might be able to get it from you and put it on the Web page. seth ------------------------------ From: 9304458s <9304458s@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au> Subject: re: Music Anthology and Questions About the questions about Half... I don't think the vocals on Half are Chris's. Didn't someone else in the band sing it?(I don't think it was Kim). I'll check on the album cover when I get home, coz I might be wrong. I too have wondered how Half would come off live. Very interesting.

Can someone tell me where the word Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas comes from. Is it a SG song, or the name of an album, does it have anything to do with SG at all, or is it just a really big palindrome? I own just one SG CD, "Superunkown", (because I am too poor to buy every CD I want), so as far as I know, it could mean anything to do with SG. Thanks for everyone's patience. David the ignorant bastard. ------------------------------ From: URBANO Subject: Re: Cyberian Rhapsody Seth: I laso received that message, later (I think yesterday night) I received another that said they where sorry for those who didn't attend. The mail also said that today (Sunday) morning there was going to be another "private" show, and after it every show would be open for the public, I didn't wake early enought to attend, but the URL was: http://paramount.compuserve.com/cyberian/invitation.html I just checked it (21:33) and the files are still there. They are not in RealAudio format as they announced, they are in Xing. I really don't know a thing about that format, but the files are there with a link to download the software to hear it.

What a shame. Hey, I checked out the site you recommended; I'm listening to Cyberian Rhapsody in the background right now! Sorry to hear that it was no good at 14.4kbps; a T-3 (45Mbps) from the Internet backbone actually runs right through MIT -- and we all have direct ethernet (10Mbps) connections in our dorm rooms, so things sound pretty good. Anyway, enough about that crap...let's get on to the music itself. Did anyone else hear the concert? I found that the Seattle Symphony's rendition of "Black Hole Sun" was lacking that bass-heavy drive that Soundgarden possesses. Much of the melody was done with flutes and oboes in the upper part of their ranges; I would have preferred more action from the cellos, string basses, bassoon, and trombones. In fact, what I've heard of the entire performance so far has all been very light and "pretty," which I don't think reflects the spirit of music from acts like SG, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. They're almost (and I cringe at the thought) like Muzak versions of the songs... if anyone has heard the 1995 version of the Kronos Quartet doing Jimi Hendrix' "Purple Haze," you know that it _is_ possible to capture that raw sound with classical orchestral instruments. seth ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: old lettuce... read a bit of some magazine in the newsagent this morning (I think it may have been kerrang), and it had some stuff on soundgarden. this may info may be a little tardy for some of us, because there is this unbelievable 2 month delay on it getting down here. anyway, the smallish article said that soundgarden have written and demo-ed 20 new songs, but are still looking for a producer for the album (beinhorn is still in the running). chris said that the songs are unlike anything that soundgarden have done before. I hope that this is a good thing :) if they follow what aic did on their recent album, then the new one may have to grow on us. also, matt has been doing some session work with a seattle punk band called violet ray, and is doing some stuff for that "new seattle grunge sensation" seaweed and their debut album. I'm yet to hear what their music is like, but if matt endorses it, well, there must be something good in there :) I think the band must be a little blase about releasing the new record before july next year, what with kim recording with johnny cash and matt doing all his extra curricular stuff. but I know it will be worth the wait in the end. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: S0undgardn@aol.com Subject: Re: Half, Ben I thought it was Ben singing half too. ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 1 Issue 99] ***************************************
