How nice is it to get a positive feedback or a thank you from someone who really liked your review? I used to PM members i liked their reviews but i think a thread is certainly appropriate. So if you were introduced to a band or found a review that was useful or informative or wanted more details or just wanted to say thanks, this is the place. I'll start by saying thanks to Guldbamsen!  David you did it again! As i have already PMed you before about Cornucopia, i have to say i had a copy of Plat Du Jour's sole album but never listened to it (Don't know why) but after reading your review, i was intrigued! Half way through the damn thing, i knew already this was a keeper. Spectacular stuff really, and i can understand the 5 stars rating, very strong release.So thanks again... |

^ Young Guldbamsen, despite the onerous and frankly crippling handicap of being born within the transparently gerrymandered borders of what passes for Denmark and in all likelihood being a blood relative of the reviled Nicklas Bendtner, is one of the most talented reviewers on the site, no contest .

I like Philippe's reviews. I like the way he describes albums with poignant brevity. His reviews sometimes take me on a trip. The way he talks about the sound, the musical approach, the textures and mood, and the way he relates his experience with the music speaks to me. I don't often discover music due to PA's database, but sometimes when I find an album that excites me, I check to see if it's in PA's database. Well often the act is, and quite often he has reviewed that album that is fresh to me (especially if it's been Krautock, Electronic, and Indo Prog/ Raga Rock, or generally cosmic music). For instance, I remember having just listened to Sergius Golowin's Lord Krishna von Goloka for the first time, and checking PA to see if it was listed, and finding Philippe's enthusiastic review of it. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

The reviewers who I follow are Colorofmoney, Damo, Phillippe, Mellotron Storm, Anthony H, Conor, Snobb, Holy Moly, Guldbamsen, Octopus 4, neu!mann, Slartibartfast, Warthur, saltyjohn, Eetu Pellonpa, Rivertree and Dobermensch. Mainly cause they review stuff I have a big interest in, and I've found some amazing stuff, thanks to their well wirtten reviews. I've got all you guys review/ratings pages favorited, to see of you've wirtten a new review.
Theres also plenty of other good reviewers, that I don't follow really, cause they don't review stuff that generally gets me all excited. But for the most part I think the people at PA are good reviewers. Better than any review I've seen on Itunes. -------------

Wow Thanks to all of the nice people in here, I really appreciate the sentiments. I t feels great to know that somebody actually reads the front page. It has always been the main attraction to me - and it still is. Even if I don't log in for a day, I'll always manage to read the reviews. We have some inspired writers up in this place And thank you Sagi - this is a great idea for a thread, especially seeing as nobody ever uses the review discussion for anything other than highlighting the bad ones. I won't start a list of reviewers here, because I'm afraid I will leave someone out of the equation, and that would genuinely make me feel horrible. I will however highlight 2 reviews that always make me laugh like an insane person: Iain's one of The Residents - Commercial Album: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=170895" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=170895 Michael's Trout Mask Replica: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=33470" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=33470 ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I try to read as many reviews as I can, but I miss a lot. But I will always stop and read a review by Mellotron Storm (John), because I can always count on him to tell me what I need to know about the album. In general, we have a very high caliber of reviewers here. It's very rare that I come across a thoughtless review.

Another one featured on the front-page right now, is Chris' Os Mundi review. I am proud to be the root of such a wonderful review, since I was the one recommending it to him... All kidding aside, he is one heck of a writer, and I have never ever come across any of his work that wasn't stellar. So Chris, if you are reading this, I ain't in a million years reviewing that album - you ruined the pleasure for me...

 Thanks frippism! I always want to read intelligently written reviews and I love the research put into some of Finnforest's reviews. Conor Fynes has a great reviewing style, and I always get something out of SouthSideoftheSky's reviews, and EasyLivin, and Sean Trane and ZowieZiggy are always a delight to read. There are so many more of course but those stand out to me. I like reviews that are written well grammatically and without spelling errors. I like reviews that tell me track by track whats on the album, and reviews that stand out are those that go into some detail as to what the music is like, the lyrics and the concepts. -------------

The time here is approaching 5 in the morning, but before I turn in, I would like to revive a wonderful thread and highlight two specific reviewers who recently have written some awesome stuff. Steve (HolyMoly) just did some brilliant Captain Beefheart ones, which really connected with me on a personal level. Many thanks Steve. You are rare vegetable my man. Michael (Aussie-Byrd-Brother) continues to flourish the front-page with well written, imaginative and always highly interesting reviews. Big round of applause! I really think you should be prog reviewer. That is all for me folks. I am hitting the sack with a dreamy Krautrock album in my ears. Where are you Alpha Centauri?!?!?! Argghhhh nuts!! The moment I logged off I suddenly remembered Jim's recent Zaum review, which I ate hook line and sinker. Yummy. Aaaaaand the always entertaining Darryl who just now posted one for FM. I have a similar taste in music as him, but I still think he writes brilliant reviews regardless of ones tastes. That is the only downfall of this thread. You are afraid of leaving people out of the mix, because let's face it: we've got some fantastic writers here on PA.

I think your reviews are excellent, Austin. Very descriptive and eloquent while also being concise. Been meaning to pop in here to highlight some reviewers for a while... I have to say that Rob (Epignosis) is one of my favorite reviewers; his reviews are easy to read and very descriptive of the sound of the album, so much so that I can read one of his negative reviews and decide from my reading that I think I would like the album! Scott's (ACR'S) reviews are excellent as well, they are very well-written and insightful and appeal to my love of many words. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

| ^ What about 1000 Autunni by Ske, a great album in my opinion |

I strongly echo that sentiment Very nice album that has put Canterbury music back on the map imo, albeit with a romantic RIO vibe to it. Love it to pieces. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

| I would recommend it as a gateway into RIO, with maybe French TV. |

Scott: Looking at your review list, I would like to suggest an album in indo Prog/ Raga Rock that I think I've mentioned to you before, Clivage's Mixtus Orbis. I see that it's your lowest rated category overall, and the one that you have reviewed the least in -- just this one review: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1712" rel="nofollow - SHAKTI WITH JOHN MCLAUGHLIN http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=8153" rel="nofollow - Shakti with John McLaughlin
| http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=223154" rel="nofollow - review I'm actually a little csared recommending the Clivage as I like that Shakti album even if it's not a particular favourite of mine from that category (another particular fave of mine has been Malachi's Holy Music). I think it's a great category deserving of more attention. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Excellent review for Maxophone Scott This masterful album was my introduction to the RPI genre and it remains my favorite album till this day. I'm glad you liked it so much, I wouldn't hesitate on rating it with 5 stars. |

I really like Gatot's latest review that appeared on the front page a day or two ago of Arena's `The Seventh Degree Of Seperation', a bit of an underrated album! http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=852184" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=852184 I like the album's combination of more accessible pieces with progressive elements throughout. Maybe one or two dross tracks, but mostly very decent! Glad to see someone really profess some love for it! Oh, and a shout out to Scott's current Asia `XXX' album - somebody has to warn the people!

Finn just posted a wonderful review of Caress of Steel. I agree with him on many points and share the amazement of the album and both epic's low rating. http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=863672 ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Thanks man....I appreciate that....but its just an opinion more than a review.... When I'm writing about an obscure album only 5 people have heard, I'll go into great detail to inform them about the band and say what the music sounds like, I think that is where my strength lies.....on the famous albums like Rush where there's already 5000 reviews, I'll just basically give a quick opinion....for people who share my general taste. Those looking for a detailed assessment of the tracks on famous albums already have a bunch of better ones than I could write. ------------- |

When I saw your review of Clockwork Angels, I said to myself << that album is going to be awesome >> I love your reviews Scott, and if you die now, I think this site is going to be boring. We have two things in common. Our user names comes from different bands. But we have some differences. I'm not a Star Wars Fan and I don't like Dream Theater. If you don't want to be on the Symphonic Team (I hope that's in a long time), I can replace you any time.

I also like the reviews of Finnforest, SouthSideOfTheSky, ConorFynes, Epignosis and ClemofNazareth. Others come to mind but I Don't see their usernames. I would also like my friend The_Jester to be a collaborator. Jim, the main member of perhaps also love my reviews. ------------- Poseidon wants to Acquire the Taste of the Fragile Lamb - Derek Adrian Gabriel Anderson, singer of the band Geneyesontle |

I really love Horizon's review of "Gloss Drop" by Battles. Just reading the review got me all excited about hearing it, sure enough I'm loving Battles so far. http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=782617 |
