This is the tiniest little thing but still worth mentioning, the grammar nazi that I am (in foreign languages even, hah). In the artist discographies the formats are as follows: AMON DUUL II Albums (CD, Vinyl/LP, Casstte)AMON DUUL II Live Albums (CD, Vinyl/LP, Casstte)AMON DUUL II Boxset & Compilations (CD, Vinyl/LP, Casstte)AMON DUUL II Official Singles, EPs, Fan Club & Promo (CD, Vinyl/LP, Casstte, MP3, Digital Media Download)Since it's repeated so many times I almost get the impression that the missing e is intentional, but it isn't a correct word without that letter is it? Then again, I googled casstte and got 29500 hits, so if it's a mistake it's pretty damn common one... edit: And the band in question makes me think about the missing umlauts in many band names, like Amon Düül II and Änglagård. Clearly it's not a matter of the used font not allowing them, since Höyry-kone is spelled correctly... ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

Just a couple of threads down in this section: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59356 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59356 . Do a search before you post a new thread on the same subject.  Besides
it's about spelling not grammar. BTW, only a webmaster can fix this. ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent." Charles Bukowski |

Maybe, while you're at it, you could change the name of that particular band to "Amon Düül II"?

"Maybe the Camaaaaarrgggggue?" Talking about the umlaut, I just realized something: we have to check the Zeuhl section just to see if all the umlauts are correctly spelled...  |

This was thanks to me (who posted original thread) or to him (who revived it) ? Just to be sure :- ) ------------- There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless," -Andyman1125 on Lulu  Even my |
