Hello fellow prog-heads! My name is Stéphane Gallay, I'm hailing from Geneva, Switzerland! I'm a forty-something prog lover since, well, probably since a cousin of mine offered me Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" the year it was released. Get'em while they're young! I mostly listen to symphonic prog, neo-prog, progressive metal and post-rock, with some incursions into electronica and more standard rock stuff. One question for the admin crowd: I frequently write album reviews in my French-language blog (link in sig; all content under Creative Commons license). I would be willing to translate them into English to share them on Progarchives. Would it be OK from a legal point of view? ------------- Stéphane "Alias" Gallay -- Swiss prog-head http://alias.codiferes.net/wordpress "Progressive Rock is an attempt to musically orgasm as many times as possible during a 15-minute song." --cracked.com |

Swiss proghead who likes Neo and symphonic, eh? I'll expect a review of Shakary's "Shakary 2006" to be coming this way in a bit then :-) ------------- Websites I work with: http://www.progressor.net http://www.houseofprog.com My profile on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/haukevind/ |

First time I heard of them! Downloading now from iTunes, I'll check that later. Shame, the band is now listed as dead.

Yeah. I believe "Shakary 2006" was something of a major production for them, that probably didn't turn out as succesful as planned. Or something of the sort. From what I understodd from their website while ut was still active they had a new album more or less ready that never was released with the same line-up.

What I've read on other sites is that it was a kind of compilation, but including most of their previous efforts. Speaking of obscure neo-prog albums, I plan to say a little bit on what seems to be one of the most hated albums here, Deyss' "Visions in the Dark"... ------------- Stéphane "Alias" Gallay -- Swiss prog-head http://alias.codiferes.net/wordpress "Progressive Rock is an attempt to musically orgasm as many times as possible during a 15-minute song." --cracked.com |

Oh, "Shakary 2006" was far from an ordinary compilation. Rerecorded and rearranged versions of their two first studio albums, with a complete new line-up. Including the amazing pipes of one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_McCalla - Noel McCalla ------------- Websites I work with: http://www.progressor.net http://www.houseofprog.com My profile on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/haukevind/ |

Why would there be a legal problem when you are the one writing and translating them? ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

I think he was asking whether or not he can re-post his own material, published on other sites, on PA. Welcome to the site  -------------

| Theoretically, when publishing stuff on PA, PA owns it. I don't know how that applies to previously published material, though. |

As far as I know, anything you have written can be published here as well as long as it wasn't excklusive with a particular site. Personally I post rewvies here on rateyourmusic as well - and vice versa. While the ones I write specifically for www.progressor.net aren't published anywhere else (apart from the blog posts of various lazy pirates, that is). ------------- Websites I work with: http://www.progressor.net http://www.houseofprog.com My profile on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/haukevind/ |

I know of some sites (non-prog related) that do no allow previously published reviews. In any case, what I publish on PA is 1) a translation from French and 2) usually reworked, as PA is not my personal blog and vice versa. ------------- Stéphane "Alias" Gallay -- Swiss prog-head http://alias.codiferes.net/wordpress "Progressive Rock is an attempt to musically orgasm as many times as possible during a 15-minute song." --cracked.com |

Whatever you post here is, as far as I know, non-exclusive. Many reviewers here who post their reviews elsewhere as well.
