Just updated Circus (Swiss) and Philippe Besombes' respected biographies and discographies 

Could be useful to set up cross-reference link to Bue Morttion (for Circus) aznd Hydravion (for Besombes) in the respective bios.

Cheers

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Also added cross-references on Mark MURDOCK and CYMBALIC ENCOUNTERS pages.

Also, I've noticed that the biography for Mark Murdock contains some unusual question marks throughout. Possibly this can be fixed as well? Thanks! Thumbs Up

^ Thanks, but I think it's unnecessary for the bio. 
And you already placed this info on the album page.

Possibly this can be added into Kopilott's biography?

The band would release their sophomore album, simply titled "II," in 2024, further exploring a more progressive sound. Like their debut album, which featured a cover, this album includes a cover of "Maggot Brain" by Funkadelic.

^ If you ever want the updated bio or any changes, best would be to post the bio as you want it here in this thread, and album revisions in another for the Errors and Omissions Team to see, and then I or another admin (Ian, Nogbad, is much better at this stuff than I) can add the bio at some time (I suggest combining the old one with the new info). That avoids unsatisfactory issues like we had with the album (E&O might have thought of a better solution to not including a complete list of personnel involved and would do the formatting as well as I).

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

^ Sounds good; no hurry on my behalf.  I can do it tomorrow evening, or if you are, say, busy tomorrow, just PM me with the changes when you can.

If you PM the changes to me, I should be free to do that tomorrow.



Thanks Logan... I will PM them to you tomorrow afternoon.  Much appreciated.

There are loads of artists with less than three lines in their biography. Julien ran one of his scripts on the database back in February 2021 and found 135 such cases, which he listed in order of increasing character count here.

I dug something out for the first two of those a short while back, since all they originally had for a biography was 'tbc', but my method of compiling biographies purely from info already existing on the Internet (since I am not personally familiar with any of these artists) isn't universally approved by all PA SCs.

You'll probably find that the majority of the rest of them still need attention.

^ I can only wonder why these bands were added with such poor bios.Confused
I think it's a Prog-Metal Team's case, unless someone would suggest proper biographies.

^ Thanks. If Uri ever responds to either of our messages, and follows the link to his band's PA page, I'm sure he'll be happy with what we've written. Thumbs Up

Now I thought, what if we "try a little tenderness" (i.e. keep some emotions from Uri's FB page)?
I'd suggest to add quotes:
 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

:

:

Musically speaking 'The Mist Within' is a very diverse album in which the band tried to describe a kind of journey - the entrance into the fog or the unknown, the hard and winding road within, and the exit into the light at the end. Singer/guitarist Uri MANN also describes it as dealing with various difficulties such as trauma, death, false love, harmful urges, loneliness, and seeking help and support.

 

Singer/guitarist Uri MANN recalls:

“We tried to describe a kind of journey. The entrance into the fog, into the unknown, the hard and winding road in it, and the exit into the light at the end. Perhaps a bit like the process of twilight today, through night until the wounding dawn; or from the beginning of autumn, through the harsh winter and until the blooming spring at last.

From my point of view it is actually an internal journey, into our own hearts. Dealing with various difficulties such as trauma, death, false love, harmful urges, loneliness, and seeking help and support.

Musically speaking, it's a very diverse album. Maybe too diverse even.

 

Blood, sweat and tears were invested in it, literally - I sweated in exhausting singing recording sessions, I got cut while changing strings, and at a certain point towards the end I also had to cry in frustration.

 

I clearly remember how Alex and I sat for 3 days in a row (the last of which ended at 6am) to finish the mixing in time, that we'll be able to send the disc to print before the holidays.

But that's it, in the end we got through it all. We released the album, and launched it in an amazing show, which was perhaps one of the most amazing evenings I've ever had in my life. I will never forget the love and the compliments I felt from the audience, this warm and amazing energy that filled every inch of my body during the performance, the adrenaline, the dopamine, serotonin... And the most fun, is that I could share this wonderful feeling, with my amazing friends at LI'ED. Love you guys!

I still enjoy listening to this album with pride and a little smile, and eager to start working on the next album."

=========== Compiled from various sources by David (yam yam), June 2023 =============

 

What do you think?

We'd definitely need to get his permission to quote him directly, and I don't really think a band leader's personal recollection of how the creation of an album felt for him, especially in such depth as this, really belongs in a biography. I'd leave all the text in the third person, and just briefly summarize what the band were trying to convey with their music, based on Uri's personal interpretation of it.
