        _Screaming in Digital______________________________Editor's Note_

                Hello again, everyone!  This being the 99th issue, I feel
        that it would be appropriate to thank everyone for reading and
        contributing to this digest for so long.  Since we're scattered
        geographically, there's not going to be a party, sorry... but if 
        you were around for the beginning, you can talk about the "good
        old days" now.  Of course, paleontologists will probably be
        eyeing you with interest, by now.
                In what seems a very fitting twist of fate, this issue
        is going to 1,000 addresses.  I think a few of those are going
        to bounce and need removal, though, so keep spreading the disease
        as always!
                For those users in Europe and Australia who were talking 
        to Joe Berrios (you know who you are), please send him mail 
        again, his computer crashed and he lost all your addresses.  His
        is, of course, berrios@arrakis.csee.usf.edu.  Thanks!
                If anyone has the article from the late 1980s lying 
        around that contained a list of Geoff Tate's favorite albums,
        please mail it to me - I had it, but lost it.

        _Neue Regel___________________________________________What's New_

        NEW ALBUM               Rick <cn193@cleveland.freenet.edu>
                I just wanted to let you know I have been to 2 record 
        stores lately and they both told me the new Queensryche album as
        of now is expected to be released in September or October.
                        {I talked to EMI this past week, and they said
                        they didn't have it on their release list yet,
                        which at this point covers both months!  -sh}

        _Speak____________________________________________Correspondence_

        CONCEPT ALBUMS  Alex <harden@acsu.buffalo.edu>
                Why is it that any album that has songs which fade into 
        one another is a "concept album?"  I'll give in and say that "III 
        Sides..." is sort-of a concept album, but more so in the 
        arrangement of the tracks and musical styles than lyrics and the 
        like.   But "Ten?"  You've got to be kidding!

        INVISIBILITY    Christina <soeryant@egr.msu.edu>
                I am kind of tired of reading and hearing all the 
        discussion about the band and the guys.  I am feeling, like, 
        jealous or such, of other bands who appear again and again 
        anywhere, although I realize that a cool band would not easily 
        release a new album without a surprise and something worth note, 
        which I hope and am pretty sure that the guys will do,
        presenting a cool album, shortly.  What do ya think?
                        {Yes, it's very frustrating when a favorite band
                        goes invisible between albums.  But they'll be
                        visible again soon!  -sh}

        _Roads to Madness__________________________________________Shows_

        OPENING ACTS            Jorge <15062998r@servax.fiu.edu>        ]
                Everybody's wondering who would be the ideal opening act 
        for Queensryche if they toured.  How about trying these out for 
        size: 
                Nine Inch Nails - way different, but way cool.  Would 
        give the show a little cutting edge.
                Voivod - one of the best in progressive metal. Would 
        compliment Queensryche pretty well.
                Danzig - I just like them, no other reason.  Besides, 
        Danzig and Tate are the two best vocalists on earth.
                Dream Theater - a little too similar to Queensryche, but 
        still good. 
                Of course there is my dream tour of Juliana Hatfield,
        Cypress Hill, and Queensryche.  Why?  I just like all three.
                Groups who shouldn't open for Queensryche?  Ugly Kid Joe, 
        Fates Warning - too similar, Enuff Znuff, and of course, Jackyl, 
        who are opening up for everyone else.

        _Spreading the Disease_________________________________Resources_

        PROMO CD        Christina <soeryant@egr.msu.edu>                ]
                I am just wondering what so special is about a promo CD. 
        Is it just because it is rather difficult to find, like people 
        always say, or there is something else about it?
                        {Promo - short for promotional - CD's are given
                        to radio stations by the label.  They're not
                        sold in normal record stores like CD singles, 
                        and usually contain different material.  -sh} 

        REAL WORLD CD SINGLE    Jorge <15062998r@servax.fiu.edu>
                Here is the final word on the 'Real World' CD single - 
        there is none.  Not everything is released on CD single.  With 
        some of the titles i see at my store coming in on CD single, I 
        can only assume that record companies decide this by throwing 
        darts or something.  Watch out, songs have a habit of winding up 
        on import singles every once in a while. it just happened with 
        STP's 'Sex Type Thing' way after it was released here.

        _The Whisper__________________________________________Discussion_

        LUCID DREAMING  Windigo <pmbail01@starbase.spd.louisville.edu>
                For those a while back wondering about the subject matter 
        of 'Silent Lucidity,' there is a series of articles in the new 
        Omni magazine about the subject of lucid dreaming and dream 
        control, including articles on how one can learn to dream 
        lucidly.  Very interesting reading anyways, but especially when 
        listening to the song - it all comes together.

        RUSH & QUEENSRYCHE      Brian <vhalen@acs.bu.edu>
                You know, there's about one song I'd like to hear Rush 
        play that's written by Queensryche.  That song is 'Waiting for 
        22.'  That way I don't have to listen to Geddy Lee's annoying
        voice, and the band will only have to play for a very short time.
                Call me crazy, but am I the only Queensryche fan who
        doesn't like Rush?  It seems that Dream Theater fits into that
        category too.  
                        {In my experience, some fans like almost every
                        progressive band, others just Queensryche.  -sh}

        REPLACING GEOFF?        Jorge <15062998r@servax.fiu.edu>        ]
                I'd like to pose a question to everyone out there.  Let's 
        say Geoff Tate were to go solo one day - I know, the world would 
        end - who would you want to replace him if the group continued? 
        Here's my opinion: it has to be something newsworthy and 
        shocking, so don't choose someone from a group too similar to 
        Queensryche - Fates Warning, Dream Theater, etc.  They have to 
        have Geoff's range, and they have to add a new dimension to the 
        group.  That only leaves one person - Mariah Carey... not!
        What's everyone else's opinion?
                        {If a fixation with death and evil counts as a
                        new dimension, how about King Diamond?  -sh}

        LAST ACTION HERO        Anne-Marie <debont@kub.nl>
                I've been to see the movie Last Action Hero on August 
        5th, which was the premiere in the Netherlands.  It was fun, lots 
        of absolutely unnecessary violence, and a very thin story line, 
        but what the heck, it's relaxing, especially when your holiday is 
        just starting.
                Even though Mr. Schwarzenegger claims it's less violent 
        than his previous film - only 48 people killed, instead of 119 - 
        there's still enough shooting and bombing and chasing going on to 
        please the fans.
                What did surprise me though, was the very inconspicuous 
        role of the music.  I mean, I wanted to hear the Queensryche 
        song, but I don't think I really heard it.  Once or twice there 
        was something that could have been the song, but then the 
        dialogue in the film continued and the music disappeared.  So, I 
        will just have to wait until the CD single is out, because I 
        don't want to have the soundtrack CD.
