Collaborator

Arcane-Beautiful.

ProgArchives is not about titles or how to earn them. ProgArchives is all about the joy of music. It is all about breaking down barriers and challenge our perceptions. My musical preferences is very different now than when I arrived here some years ago. 

Forget the titles and all this collab stuff. You are barking up the wrong tree in this thread (although it is pretty entertaining). Go to the different genres instead and explore what ProgArchives have to offer. Check out bands like Magma, Present, Flairck, Jethro Tull, Soft Machine, Manning, Elegant Simplicity, PFM, Osanna and Senmuth........ just to mention the bands from the top of my head. 

Many albums here are free downloads. Download them. Listen to them. Enjoy the music. Review them here. Forget your status as Groupie or Senior Member. Use ProgArchives for all it is worth. 

Btw some of the worst atrocities since world war two in the western world was commited in your town and surrounding area. Some of the bands in ProgArchives nipped over the border from the republic just to play a gig in Newry and/or Warrenpoint and then ran for their lives (literary speaking) back again over the border. That is a chapter of our history I would like to know more about. 

Personally thinking, I really see it why someone would want to be a collaborator. Even if you don't get anything out of it but some respect among some internet people (the best kind of respect there is). At least you'd know, that you'd be doing something useful while listening to your music, and who'd not want to expand their hobbies, or even, their passions to something recreational and something they themselves could take pride of.

Hehe, I'd love to be a reviewer, maybe then I'd have more motivation for reviewing LP's. It's always possible, but usually I just rather consentrate on listening to it rather than making a review, which is fun too. I was a reviewer to one site once, and it made me feel pretty proud finding my name on the sidebar there :D But one thing: I know how the collabs are mostly chosen, and I respect the fact that they board is the one to choose them, not the other way around. If one would go sending PMs and requests, and I were to make the decision, I'd probably decline him/her. Basically because a humbleness is more respectable imo. Whatever, I'm just saying what comes to mind when instead I should be sleeping. With that: good night!
