The server really does need sorting out - unfortunately these errors are not uncommon, but today they have been particularly annoying..

^^ I fixed the review. You should be able to edit your reviews anytime by going to the "Log In" tab at the top of the home page. You'll see a link under where the section "Welcome. You are logged in as Mirakaze" the says "Edit your old reviews and ratings". Click on that and it will take you to a page that leads off with an area to type in your own Biography if you want, but scroll on down a little further and you will see a list of all of your reviews. Click on the symbol next to the review that you want to edit, and you will be able to edit to your heart's content. Click the Save button when you are done.

The paragraphs were inexplicably erased from my review of Ut Gret's Recent Fossils and I seem to be unable to edit it myself. Is it possible for a staff member to replace the text with this one? - Don't be fooled by this leviathan of an album: If you go into it knowing
exactly what you're in for (as I did on my second listen) you'll
probably have a fairly enjoyable three and a half hours of music (!!!)
ahead of you, but if you expect a grand, epic, career-defining statement
combining all the various strengths of this remarkably multifaceted and
innovative avant-prog ensemble (as I, perhaps naïvely, did on my first
listen) you will likely be disappointed. So what should one expect then? Disc 1, composed entirely by Gregory
Acker, presents us 18 world music pieces inspired by Indonesian gamelan,
with emphasis on pitched percussion, woodwinds and zithers, regularly
accompanied by western instruments like saxophone, electric guitar and
(near the end) a bass guitar and a drum kit. While it's quite relaxing
and pleasant to listen to, it all sort of blends together after a while;
the only pieces that truly stand out are "Cirro-Stratus", with its cute
Penguin Cafe Orchestra-like melody and cool guitar arpeggios, and "Par
Ti", on which all the woodwinds are given the opportunity to jam out in a
straight-forward rock manner, adding a brief bit of diversity. Disc 2 consists solely of group improvisations and offers a much more
varied sound than the first disc: not only in terms of instrumentation -
ranging from a standard rock lineup to a string quartet to a wind
ensemble and combinations of instruments from all of these - but also in
terms of mood and set-up. Some, like "Appalachian Fall" and "21st
Century String Quartet" are disjointed and unsettling and are the result
of completely free improvisation, sometimes bordering on ambient music
("Music To Die By"); elsewhere the group plays more conventional and
frenetic jazz-rock jams such as "The Enemy Is Dust" and "Mercury Paw".
Not every track on here is a winner, some pieces drag on for a bit too
long and none of it is rooted in a truly memorable or profound musical
idea (won't blame them for that obviously since it's all improvised) but
effort was clearly put in offering a diverse selection of music and
structuring it in a cohesive and naturally flowing manner. Disc 3 is perhaps the most mystifying: all of it is occupied by an
hour-long live performance of Terry Riley's famous minimalist
composition "In C". The only other recording of this that I am familiar
with is the "original" by Riley himself from 1968 which I like quite a
lot (I realize that this may sound ironic considering I criticized disc 1
of this album for being too much of the same, but I believe that
monotony and repetition need not necessarily be bad traits of a piece of
music, in the hands of a masterful composer or producer who can
establish a truly captivating hypnotic effect with it). I've noticed
that, compared to Riley's recording, Ut Gret put more emphasis on one
specific section around the 44 minute mark which leans on the dissonant
more so than any other moment in the composition; I never noticed that
part before but it sounds very cool and makes me respect the piece even
more so kudos to the group for that. On the other hand, the overall
sound quality sadly isn't too great, and I don't like how they abruptly
stop and start their performance rather than slowly building it up and
breaking it down at the beginning and end. To my knowledge, this is the
only liberty they take in what otherwise seems to be a very faithful
interpretation of the piece, and while I don't protest against its
inclusion, it remains an enigma to me why they would include something
like this on their own album rather than a Terry Riley-centred
compilation. What's wild is that this is only the second album of a group that to my
knowledge wasn't very established beforehand anyway, and right away they
went off the deep end, recording a three-disc opus of what was clearly a
number of passion projects for various members with no regard for how
commercially viable it might be even within their extremely niche
market. I really, really wish I could reward that boldness and
determination with a higher rating because I really do respect it, but
even though I don't regret listening to all 220 minutes of this I would
be lying if I described any of it as essential.

I've occasionally been seeing that error too... not to mention the server being unavailable or very slow responding (often several times a week). Sort it out please.

I just wish they extended the number of pages you had to visit before got that error. 6 pages to me is usually: Main page -> Forum Home -> Login (because I keep getting logged out...) -> Login successful -> Back to the Forum Home -> Actually viewing a discussion thread (or going to a subforum to browse threads) I see no reason to take my time on those first 5 pages - I doubt the website is going to go over their bandwidth limit because I took an extra 5 seconds to get to a thread (I'd probably end up viewing the same amount of pages at the end of the day). If the warning came after 10 pages instead of 6, that might be enough to avoid diminishing the experience for regular users, but still create barriers for bots which is probably the actual concern.

I haven't been able to access ProgArchives all day for about 12 hours up until about an hour ago. It's good to be back.

Yes, I noticed that too. It looked really weird at first to see ads inserted into the gaps between paragraphs in my album reviews, but I've got used to it now and I'm not complaining.
