Dude think back to some of our e-mails about music.

I think Tool could work for both of us...kind of a Rosetta Stone if you will.

I had Aenima or whatever it was and lost it and never bought it because it was always something like $20 or something crazy and I just stopped looking.

And then the other album came out with the song that said something like "...I know the pieces fit..." I liked that too...schism I think:

Perhaps I should pony up and buy them.

Still have the one that has the comedian I think (I forget his name) talking about the carrots and death being necessary.

Thanks Waz for spending some dough for ol Dawnrazor and for posting.

FWIW I almost ONLY listen to rock on the maggies.

And that reminds me of an experience where I listened to some friends mirages. Dude that is THE rock speaker for maggie lovers. I played all the audiophile stuff and it sounded like ass. I put in the Cult and damn it sounded awesome, and all the stuff he played was classic rock and I was amazed that it sounded great, but Diana Krall sounded terrible.

I THINK they were the OM-9s or something like that. It was very strange.

  Hey Guys,
  
  Here is a link to the info about the comedian...Bill Hicks and a bit about their relationship.
  
  I thought Hicks was a riot and was sad when he died. And any comedian whose WHOLE act gets censored and cut from Letterman not for bad words, but for content, is OK in my book.
  
  And YES I dont think that highly of Diana Krall or at least that type of music. I havent met her myself :)
  
  But I have demo stuff so the real audiophiles wont kick me out and in my example none of them sounded good on the mirage speakers...but rock did.

  A few thoughts regarding Tool...
  
  I 1st heard them live a was surprised (and happy) to find that they wern't a grunge band.
  
  The album with the comedian...are you referring to Opiate?
  I've always assumed it was Maynard preachin it out through a megaphone with a lil southern preacher style accent. Now I'm curious & gonna have to Google and see if I can find out ;)
  
  Almost all their video's give me a panic attack for some reason, a bit to strange or demented for me & doesn't represent what I hear/feel from the music. Their music is rather boring to play (on guitar & bass at least IMO), yet when the mood fits I can listen to any album from Aenima on and feel transported. Undertow has great songs, but I've never though of it as a concept album of sorts.
  
  I fully agree the presentation is quite different with cone speakers & enjoy both planar & box for that style of music.
  
  Anyway, just thought I'd share since I recently listened to 10,000 on my 1.6's and 3.6's back to back...

  I was introduced to Tool by one of our 'sons' and I didn't like what I heard - it was their first album. Then he stopped by with Undertow and my opinion changed - I liked some of it quite a bit. I liked it enough to buy it. Aenima was even better and I think Lateralus (the one with Schism ) had only one song for which I didn't care - I still don't like the screaming stuff like Ticks and Leeches . If you like them at all, you must buy Lateralus . 10,000 Days is a revelation. Some of it is highly personal - about the life and death of Keenan's mother. At any rate, the group is comprised of highly talented individuals who obviously spend the time it takes to craft a quality product - if I'm not mistaken, their last album was five years in the making.
  
  Diana Krall does nothing for me, but taste in music is a personal thing, so this is in no way intended as a value judgement.

        Nothing like a pair of Quads rockin' to 'n fro' pushed to the verge of 'clamp down'!
        
        I hope I am not harming the atmosphere???
