Manta Ray & Schwarz: projects of different bands

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   After the recent additions of Manta Ray and Schwarz, I wonder if their common project "Heptágono", which is not included in any of their discographies, should be included as a particular record or it should be included with another entry as a different artist.

I have read about the policy for split records, but this is not the case, because they play the whole record together as one ensemble. That´s why I consider they should have a different entry, but I wanted to ask you first.

Thanks.

	I reckon they should be listed as a separate artist. Other views?

	added both bands but don't know anything about the background of this collaboration. If the album was the result of a three gig tour only then it's a special snapshot, not more. A new band entry requires something like an identity, a project with some history, progression imo. Probably it's just the way, but I don't know. So I recommend to add the album to either Manta Ray or Schwarz and to rework their bios by pointing to this issue Edited by Rivertree - January 16 2010 at 07:52
