I do agree that all the "hey what should I get" messages are tedious, but to eliminate the problem better, the archives would have to be more comprehensive. Certainly I mean no offense toward Brian....I've gotten several albums based on reviews in there (Knights who say Dot, Plastikman "Sickness", and a few others), but I think we should make an effort to write reviews for older albums and get them on the archive (assuming Brian doesn't mind). SAW 85-92 is the only old album I've seen on there (I'm working from memory, so I could be wrong) I pretty much had to ask the list about some people...like Red Snapper, because I didn't know where to find info on them. I'm sure newbies are even more lost than I was. Therefore, if we have Brian's approval, I think we should write up some reviews for some more "classic IDM" albums, and some that have been released fairly recently, but don't have a review up (Hard Normal Daddy, Chiastic Slide, Lunatic Harness, et al). If anyone else is willing to go along, I'd be willing to write reviews of some of these older albums. --Matt
