AMG is odd.

Without doubt, the recordings of Tangerine Dream have made the greatest impact on the widest variety of instrumental music during the 1980s and '90s, ranging from the most atmospheric new age and space music to the harshest abrasions of electronic dance.

Why doesn't Ned listen to Spiderland and Tweez and do this. ha ha ha

"Kraftwerk who?" indeed.

AMG seems to often miss fairly prominent, or at least charting, albums--no review for Eric Church's "Sinners Like Me", Trace Adkins' "Dangerous Man", or Tracy Lawrence's "For the Love" for instance--and also gives one or two star ratings without an accompanying review. Seems to me that low ratings require justification.

Granted this isn't a charting album but I'll stand by this review forever.

Your Unknown Pleasures might be my favorite Ned.

seriously though. That review made me buy that album.

Damn. Well, thanks! Hope it lived up to the words.

that slint review still hasn't been fleshed out ;__;

Has anyone else been redirected to some spam site that tells you have malware/viruses when you type in various AMG urls? This has happened to me several times in the past week or so, even on different computers. It's easy to click out of, you just re-enter the AMG url or click "back" on the browser. I'm just curious to see if others have had the same problem and if AMG needs to know about it.

yes and yes

Ditto.

I've about given up on that site completely between the slow load times and that spam site.

There's another thread on here where one of the regular employees (as the question keeps coming up, I am an offsite freelancer) notes that the actual site itself gets far less traffic and generates far less income than the actual data, which is available in a slew of other locations now. As a result, the site gets lower priority these days. Unfortunate but that's life (though if any other fulltimer -- Andy K? -- would like to clarify/contribute...)

Makes sense, but allowing it to slip into decay hardly seems like the way to keep visitors coming to the site.

Yep - it's only in the last 10 days or so that "spyware" warning started happening. Even more infuriating than those damn popups.

ArtistDirect is a passable substitute, but its layout is even more of an eyesore.
