As someone who did this on let's say 10-20 times, this is bloody great feature. Did you talk with some artists / representatives about it so someone will post here soon ?
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Is this section for artists on Progarchives only?  Or also artists (prog or non-prog) who are not on the site?

How is this different from "Get the Word Out" thread or "Press Release" thread?

Thanks!

Jim, I understand from M@x that this section is intended for prog only, i.e. bands listed on the site.
 
M@x gets a lot of offers of promos for review. This section is intended as a way of managing those offers by allowing PA members to take them up on behalf of the site.

Thanks Bob!

So, the reviews will be placed on the artist pages like a normal review, and not placed here in this forum, correct?

Also, we should have a site monitor watching the thread probably to make sure non-prog/non-site bands are not posting here?     Or is Max the one who will screen and post what gets offered?

As Bob said it's for  prog artists only (we can open another one for non-prog or non-pa artist later).

This forums will be used by artists rep. to post their offers

ex: 

  • Download our album here
  • Send  us your postal address and we will ship a promo CD to you
Reviews will be posted as normal reviews on PA.

It's just a easy way to connect artists-rep to PA-members/reviewers.

I will direct all requests here.

I have also update the about us page http://www.progarchives.com/about_us.asp and included a section about submit music for review.

I hope this will populate soon.

^Good idea Torodd, but I want to make this section review focus, ok ! Maybe later, we will open something interview-focus.

Something catchy like a forum named : INTERVIEW ME 

Cool

Excellent! Clap

We all members always keep an eye on novel or unknown artists ... M@X gives a good strategy for them and us I'm sure. Big smile

LOL I'm a total nitpicker but you should capitalize all of the first letters in each word (IE: Official "Review Our Music" Board)
