    Sonata Arctica - Unia

    This album is epic. (notice the bold period) Most songs do not follow standard verse chorus verse chorus format; some adopt a structure which involve something like movements. If you want just pure kick-assery: listen to Caleb. (this should have been the single) If you want beautiful, listen...

    PP USA VII DVDS- Message from Lucid Lounge Re: problems

    Okay, now that I finally have the DVD, those lines everyone sees during movement... they look like freakin interlacing artifacts! LL said it was shot in 24p.. so I don't know how the video got interlaced, but it is... Scroll down to the yellow balls for a demo...

    PP USA VII DVDS- Message from Lucid Lounge Re: problems

    Well, I emailed them in Dec about my address change. They never put it into action. So when I emailed them last week to make sure, they were like "sorry" and mailed it again to my current addy. So ya email them, but don't expect full sentences at replies. I'm also curious, how much did we...

    Prog Power VIII DVD (Should we have a box set?)

    Thanks for the back-up Unca Kev, you're right :). I wasn't being an elitist, I am being a realist. Sure, there are going to be some random <10 copies sold to people who are not connected / participate in the progpower community, but the staggering majority of buyers will be people that were...

    Prog Power VIII DVD (Should we have a box set?)

    Progpower DVDs are not going to be an item that plenty of people buy that are not involved with the concert. Its kinda like a progpower t-shirt.. I don't expect to see it sold anywhere but here, and not worn by anyone but progpower attendees. That being said, since the DVD is for us and...

    Wednesday karaoke party band/song options

    Fiddler, I've wondered about that myself. You can probably buy the popular songs from the industry strait, without vocals-- they'll sell you anything to make a buck :) I have used plug-ins before, like for Sony (previously Sonic Foundry) Sound Forge that "silenced" out the vocals. Of course...

    PP USA VII DVDS- Message from Lucid Lounge Re: problems

    Having a progressive scan DVD player doesn't necessarily suggest that you have a buffer to prevent layer change skipping, (I think Denon is the only one that advertises that feature). Just to clear it up for others... progressive scan doesn't mean scanning further ahead, it means that it can...

    Wednesday karaoke party band/song options

    I looked through the books. There is no metal in there. You'll find a few iron maiden songs... a few classic american/british metal/rock songs.. and more pop songs than you'll ever want to read through. I think the karaoke would be 100x better if we got the likes of BG, Sonata,.... amon...

    PP USA VII DVDS- Message from Lucid Lounge Re: problems

    He explanation is very true, and was also expected from the HDV format that the concert was filmed in. That format, by definition, does a lot of compression to fit HD resolution footage onto Dv (or miniDV) tape. In fact, HDV uses MPEG-2... so any "MPEG-2-y" jaggies that appear are expected...

    The REAL problem from here on out

    If all the "big headliners" are gone, then start booking more of the up-and-coming prog/power bands and lower the damn ticket prices. If there is an increasing lack of headliner status then the increasing price of tickets does not correlate (from an attendee's p.o.v... its fine for the...
