In early autumn [of 1456] Richard and Cecily travelled back south. By mid- September York was in residence at the bishop of Salisbury’s inn on Fleet Street. Cecily, however, may have stopped in East Anglia. That November John Fastolf mentioned in one of his letters that Cecily had been visiting him at his sumptuous castle at Caister in Norfolk. Here she had ‘soore mevid [him] for the purchas of Castre’. This was presumably on York’s behalf since, as a married woman, she could not own property in her own right. Fastolf had spent over £ 6,000 rebuilding his luxurious and well- fortified ‘gret mansion’, just a mile from the coast. By 1456 he was in his late seventies and childless, so he knew he would soon have to pass this ‘ryche juelle’ to others.

It seems that Fastolf was seriously considering Cecily’s request to purchase Caister since her visit prompted him to try to speed up his plans to complete this splendid memorial of his life and achievements. The finishing touch was to be a college within the castle to pray for his soul and that of his wife Milicent. Cecily must have considered visiting Fastolf at Caister again either the following summer or in 1458 because in a letter dated simply 18 June, Fastolf expressed anxiety that he would be too ill to receive her. It is plausible to assume that there were other, unrecorded, occasions upon which Cecily was transacting similar business with gentlemen on her husband’s behalf, perhaps sometimes with greater success. Like her negotiations with Queen Margaret, the episode indicates York’s respect for his wife and his faith in her abilities."

-J.L. Laynesmith, "Cecily Duchess of York"

44: Fates Warning // Perfect Symmetry

Perfect Symmetry Fates Warning 1989, Metal Blade (Bandcamp)

As a teenager I almost certainly would’ve called prog metal or thrash my favourite genre of music, and I spent a lot of time listening to icily produced chops demonstrations in the vein of Fates Warning’s Perfect Symmetry (though, even as a head, I never cared much for this record in particular). I’ll pause here to play a game of Remember Some Guys.

Remember Some Guys (Prog Metal Edition)

Remember Watchtower?

Remember Anacrusis?

Remember Mekong Delta?

Remember Crimson Glory?

Remember Flotsam & Jetsam?

Remember Thought Industry?

I remember those guys! Anyway, Fates Warning at one time were considered one of the “Big Three” of ‘80s/‘90s prog metal, alongside Queensrÿche and Dream Theater, but the years have rendered them much more of a cult act (see: FW’s 26,000 Spotify listeners versus over a million each for DT and the ‘Ryche). I can think of a couple of reasons for this. Their early albums sound like straight up and down ‘80s traditional metal, if a group of guys had broken all its limbs with a set of golf clubs. The songs have huge, starry-eyed choruses, flashy solos, and some timeless riffs, but they jerk around at odd angles, thwarting the simple headbanger who just wants to gallop. As they moved through the ‘80s and ‘90s they reinvented themselves multiple times as first ur-technical Guitar Center porn (see: Perfect Symmetry), then mellow Queensrÿche-adjacent crossover hopefuls, and finally into a darker-hued sound influenced by latter-day King Crimson, Tool, and Peter Gabriel. A lot of their back catalogue is actually pretty good, but this restlessness (and leader Jim Matheos’ increasing taste for grey moods and flat melodies) soon saw them fall behind their peers in sales and influence.

Back to Perfect Symmetry. As you’ve probably gathered, I think this album sucks. Even when they were singing about giants and sorceresses, ‘80s Fates Warning never met a simple pleasure they weren’t compelled to complicate with bonkers time signature and tempo shifts. Sometimes those bait and switches and hairpin turns could be thrilling, as on the thrash-influenced numbers on No Exit, their previous album. Here though, you can practically see the band screwing up their faces (and their songs) into expressions of intense, tortured profundity. Everything fun about the band goes out the window in favour of plodding tempos, groaning pseudo-philosophy (sample: “Men of grandeur / blinding, numbing / with winsome wiles in specious styles”), and pointlessly busy playing that sounds like they arranged it using a circuit diagram. This also was not a good look for vocalist Ray Alder, who often gambles with the key when he shouldn’t.

I picked this album out of a dollar bin a few years ago out of old loyalty to the band and, given that it now fetches a decent little sum, I’m sure I’ll part with it eventually. But I’ll close with some words of praise for a band I’ve enjoyed a lot over the years: after Perfect Symmetry, Fates got this particular bug out of their system, and they never really returned to this style. Matheos in particular had a cool renaissance in the 2000s, and I’m very fond of his collaborations with Chroma Key’s Kevin Moore as OSI and his initial reunion with original Fates vocalist John Arch in 2003. Eh, in a 40-year career, they won’t all be winners right?

HII PHREND i was just thinking of the spooky season ryche questions you sent me and now i have ones for you!! snowed in edition: sepultura and queensryche!! LOVE YOU!!💜

who's gung ho about snowball fights? who plans sneak attacks? who wakes everyone up when they're snowed in(and how do they do it)? who stays inside and away from the chaos? do any of them ski in jeans? do they play king of the hill?

OH SHIT OKAY so disclaimer that i am a stay-inside-during-winter person and have never done any of these fun things and don't know the full vibe for each activity but i'm not a fucking quitter (lmao yes i am but not for this!) AND because it's a beautiful synchronicity that you sent this when igor has been posting skiing stuff on instagram

queensryche

gung ho about snowball fights: mostly mike and eddie and chris, but their enthusiasm gets scott and geoff invested

sneak attacks: mike uses his small size to his advantage to ambush

waking everyone up when they're snowed in: EDDIE would find some absolutely LOUD way to wake everyone up, like a car alarm that you just want to ignore but can't because it's so persistent

staying away from the chaos: geoff seems like too easy of an answer but it's still the answer

skis in jeans: i want to say chris??? something about the energy of skiing in jeans just screams chris to me

king of the hill: they'd play and i feel like winner would come down to either eddie or geoff

sepultura

gung ho about snowball fights: honestly it's got to be all of them. they have that added sibling dynamic of igor and max and i feel like they'd all feed off it when things get competitive

sneak attacks: andreas because the others would underestimate him and he would fuck them UP

waking everyone up when they're snowed in: paulo. i can just see his grin when he throws pillows at everyone

staying away from the chaos: my gut says max but i can't explain why

skis in jeans: also max but instead of jeans its those gray camo pants

king of the hill gets so competitive and would end in arguments about who won and nobody would agree and they'd have to all sit in separate corners of the room when they're warming up with hot cocoa afterward

In 2011 I made a piece called "Ancient Area Network" which depicts a LAN Party in an old building that wasn't anything like the half-timbered house I lived in for many years, but it was my attempt to capture the atmosphere and chaos these gatherings had. I started this cycle 10 years ago with a depiction of a LAN Party and I'm closing it with another. This time with more delpherian touches to it. Mr. Wanderer is back with a whole duffle bag full of connectivity issues.
