There was just something that rubbed me the wrong way about the word 'expert' used in conjunction with 'review'. Considering that all music is subjective and everything, I'm not sure expert is a word you can comfortably use to describe what is in effect an opinion, regardless of how well written/informed it is (and the niggling errors in a couple of them showed up the theory a bit as well). Maybe that's just me... Don't get me wrong - it's not a terrible site - just spent half an hour or so looking through it - the artists biographies are pretty good. Dan.

Yes, that's a terrible review and I decided to have it replaced two weeks ago. Apologies.

Naff? How so? That is, beyond the crazy credits confusion of our unexpert data-entry operators... John --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
