Landing here just now, folks... how should it be? A sticky thread or maybe a new forum? The first one is easy to do while the second one would have certainly a greater impact and attention, however we should talk with the owners and define the rules.
IMO the discussion should be centered around an album, being no more than one album per day to avoid clogging the forum and one particular thread for each album discussed. The starter should have the freedom to use reviews, ratings, general comments, etc, leaving the visitors to make questions, to add comments and so on. Once a genre is presented, another album of the same genre shall wait, say, 3 days or something.
Well, it's an idea...  |

Once upon a time there was a "featured album" spot on the front page. I discovered Circus and Comus throught it, and I'm sure I wasn't alone in this either.
Does anyone else remember it? And indeed where it went?

It has been here a while, but i think it turned out too much work.
wouldn't mind to try again. It was nice while it lasted (only 1 or two albums/artists were featured)

Ok, I have no idea regarding the technical side of this, but as for how it can look, we can have a representative from each genre team or any other collab and member interested and each one can make the presentation.
I can be the "editor" and choose the order, propose changes, additions etc and we can have an album of the week (I think a weekly update should be fine at first).
If there will be no representatives, then I can take suggestions from members and they would make (with my help if they wish) the presentation.
It doesn't have to be a mere review, although it would be nice to have it in it. It can also have a background of the album, who plays on it and what, an in depth analysis of one song and everything else that comes to mind. Be creative.
Just some thoughts...

Allow?
You're more than welcome to participate!
We can do one about Vytas Brenner and you can tell of your father (if I remember correctly) who played with him... am I correct?

sure.. alrighty then... You just give the coordinates and I could probably work around it... e.g how should the presentation be "presented" (excuse the redundance); how the selection of the album works, etc.
EDIT: yes.. he played on "Amazonia"... you'll recognize him by the last name

First we need the platform and the ok from the M@X and the admins.
So let's wait for that before starting to plan anything. I wouldn't want you to waste energy for nothing.
