The Fates Warning Tribute Album

[psychoticfates]

Hello, everyone I am a long-time and hardcore Fates fan who was wondering if anyone knew where to get ahold of the Fates Warning tribute album. I know it was on planetsarcasm.com but I went there today and could not find it.

Also, does anyone know where to get ahold of Psychotic
Waltz albums? I know Metal Blade re-issued double sets of the PW albums but I read today they stopped selling them.

Anyways, I'd rather have the single albums alone as I particularly want A Social Grace. After reading the old post in here about your fave Psychotic album I went and read Fox's review of them on The Final Verdict webpage and was hooked from the first line of the review. They sound like Fates Warning recording with John Arch again, that is awesome.

I have since downloaded some of their songs from ASG and they do not disappoint. There's also definitely a Fates influence in both the music and vocals and also a Jethro Tull influence. More specifically, they sound like Awaken the Guardian meets Aqualung, only when Buddy sounds like Ian Anderson he sounds like a much more advanced version of Anderson.

The songs I've downloaded are And The Devil Cried, A Psychotic Waltz, Halo of Thorns, I Remember, Only in a Dream, and Another Prophet song. I'm hooked, I love these guys, they have a potential hardcore fan here, but it's hard to find their stuff, they're even more underground than the mighty Fates.

Anyways, I'm sure I'd purchase all of their albums but I'd like to start out with A Social Grace so if anyone could help me that'd be swell.

btw - Fates Warning are the best band that you will find on this planet.

Metal Blade EUROPE had the sets. Metal Blade America DID NOT.

Try The End Records

Laser's Edge has them as well on sale. Better get them, because it's likely to be the last we'll ever hear of them. Dan's stopped playing all together and just got married. Devon/Buddy's doing his Dead Soul Tribe thing succesfully, Brian's being happy somewhere and Norm is doing his Teabag thing and Blue Meanie Records. Too bad, but hey, at least they did an awesome job on the reissues. I count myself lucky to ever witnessed them playing live...all be it 6 or 7 songs....

Eh, I've only bought two tribute albums in my life and while both were decent, the Dio one I really only bought it for the Doro song that was on it. The other was a Warren Zevon tribute album.

I don't want to hear other band's interpretations of the great songs from a band I love. I'd much rather just pop in the actual songs themselves.

I'm pretty sure Norm has copies available through Blue Meanie directly... will get link info and post here. One of my best friends is his roomie, so I'll ask if he's got some, or where to get and will post here. Oh, Teabag is now known as Broken Foundation and they're playing out regularly. Blue Meanie is also doing in store shows, having had Agent Steel play a few months back.

Brian is living in North County San Diego with his wife and daughter ('bout 5-10 minutes from me, actually) and still plays/records, although not with a band to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks for the update CG.

I wish I had a copy of the tribute album

No Worries, Ben. You know I love them.

Sorry I've been so quiet lately. FINALLY got all that web work done today. I'm almost free!

Regarding the tribute album, I've only heard two songs from it. Spiral Architect did an amazing cover of "Prelude to Ruin," and some old friends of mine from Houston called Final X-it did a killer job at "The Eleventh Hour." I had high hopes for that band (saw them play with Power of Omens way back in the day), but they disbanded some time ago.

As for the old PW albums, I've got all the originals except for Everflow. I also have ASG on a 12" picture disc. Ugly artwork, but idontgivafukh.
