Nyt on pakko nostaa, onhan tässä jo syksy käsillä ja siis passeli aika fiilistellä Dead Air For Radiosin tahtiin. Kolmisen vuotta sitten ostin kirpparilta ko. levyn, kun oli tiedossa että se on ex-DT-kaiffarin tuotantoa. Kylläpä se sitten yllättikin hyvyydellään, ekana tuli mieleen Mooren säveltämä Space-Dye Vest, joka onkin tunnelmallisempaa ja sielukkaampaa musiikkia kuin muu DT:n tuotanto yhteensä :) Vieläkin aivan mahtava levy, vaikka mukana onkin pari tyhjänpäiväisempää "rallia", Camera 4 ja Hell Mary.
 
Graveyard Mountain Homea kuulin joskus jonkin verran, mutta ei oikein iskenyt.. Ihan eri maata kuin Dead Air. Minkä tyylistä tuo You Go Now on?
 
Kevin Moorehan asustelee tätä nykyä Turkissa, jossa miekkonen veti maaliskuussa ensimmäisen keikkansa sitten DT:stä lähdön. Turkin MTV:n raportti aiheesta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvmEuh3xdag
 
Kevin on näimmä aiheuttanut keskustelua Mike Portnoyn foorumilla, johon itse maestrokin on osallistunut:
 
For the record, IMHO (and the rest of DT as well - coincidentally, we happened to be talking about it today as we were in Istanbul) - both Kevin Moore and Space Dye Vest are both very overrrated and get waaaay more acclaim, attention and credit than they deserve....

We've been friendly, polite, open-minded and nostalgic by inviting him 3 times to perform with us (as well as contribute to the Score documentary and the upcoming DT biography) and we've been turned down time and time again.
We can only be rejected so many times before becoming insulted...

If he insists on turning his back on his past, then I guess so will we....
It's been almost 15 years already since he quit...it's time to get over it!
 
In any case, the invite no longer stands....Kevin No Moore...

We're way happier now anyways...(and I assume he is as well as he wants nothing to do with us), so there's your happy ending!! We ALL win in the end!!!

Tuli vaan mieleen että kaveria tuskin kuullaan enää OSI:n levyillä.. Portnoyn soitto on ollut mielestäni tyylikkäimmillään juuri tuossa bändissä. No, jatkakoon kikkailujaan Dream Theaterin parissa :)
 
Ja hepun mietteitä Space-Dye Vestistä:
 
We put it on Awake because at the time of recording the album, we didn't know Kev was gonna leave the band....once he announced he was leaving, we had already recorded the track and figured WTF, we'll just keep it on...but realistically, none of us had any attachment to it creatively or artistically and in retrospect, I wish we left it off the album...(the whole story and my further thoughts can be read in the "Awake Demos" liner notes)

It's a decent song, but it's NOT "DT" at all....and if I had to make a list of the best DT songs in DT history, SDV would surely be at the bottom of my list (IMHO)

I think a big part of it's mystique is the fact that we've never played it live, otherwise - I stand by my statement that we all really feel it's incredibly overrated...

Hate to stir the pot, but I calls em as I sees em...
