Thanks man.  Yeah it is absolutely bonkers, which was exactly the point.

That said, admin have been very lenient and patient with my current psychosis, and I appreciate it.

I don't know any details, though I could see how such a review would not fit guidelines. I just got back from what should have been a 30 minute trip with my kids where my car broke down on the remote highway, lucky for me the two truck driver got there fast, but for the curious and if you didn't save it, I found it in google's cache:

Meddle Review

Very experimental. Wonder if I can paste it here while keeping the formatting.

So the removal of my Meddle review.  I'm curious and I'd like an explanation.  Complains?  An admin decision?  Just let me know.

^ Sorry David, I'm currently on Jury Service so don't get to spend as long online as I normally do so some correspondences have been unfortunately overlooked - apologies.
What?

Thank god you said something, I thought I'd quite pissed you off.  I figured Floyd + cooking = Dean but then realized you'd just as likely hate it.

However, I have to admit I had my reservations over his WYWH review when he first showed it to me mainly because it would never go with pasta.

I would think not, a tetrahedron even harder. I hope people don't imitate you, though, as I don't know if it would be good for this to be the shape of things to come.

Thanks for the positivity and support, fellas (and Dave that is a wonderful Blackdance writeup).

I think it was brilliant! Also made sense to me coming in the wake of his other Schulze reviews, all of em with a distinct esoteric, and slightly tongue-in-cheek, writing style. Hell my own review of Blackdance is weird, maybe it's just the album itself that leads to madness?

Btw I moved your post to 'reviews discussion' instead. Didn't seem like you were looking for an admin to ban his ass for being momentarily crazy and verbose

I wonder what Atavachron smokes. His latest reviews look like he found somewhere a good amount of strongest grass. Hope he have not shot the sheriff yet. Smile

- And do your research;  the other reviewer may be wrong, or they may know something you don't.
