2024 is mostly done - but 2025 is well underway!

Are you interested in new (prog) releases? Then voting in these monthly polls is a great way to keep up with what has been recently released. On the voting page at AP you can directly browse all the releases of the month. If you also rate your favorites and (optionally) assign a prog status, that will not only provide more data for all users to browse, but it will also set you up with a nice database of your favorite releases at the end of the year, when the Aoty voting will start.

Here we go - the January poll:

Oh and I would have selected the Jonathan Hulten album Eyes Of The Living Night if that was an option so would have a top five with that No 1.

^ You can add missing albums yourself - it's quite easy, all it takes to add an artist is the name, and all it takes to add a release is the name, type and year of release. Smile

Haven't bought any 2025 yet, about to buy Black Flower, Shackleton, Eclectic Maybe Band, The Exu and Ckraft. Those are all January releases.

^ Glad you like it! My hope is that we can "map out" the new releases of 2025 more effectively than last year. It already works pretty well with the 4-5 active users we have, but if a couple more participate, it will work even better. I have this theory that you don't need thousands of users (as there are at RYM) to discover most of the really awesome releases. Even with only a dozen users who regularly mark their favorite releases and at the same time use the lists to discover cool stuff they weren't aware of, this should be pretty effective.

And, at least for me, browsing the releases is always fun. As is the preparing part, which is a little more tedious (I'm semi-manually adding hundreds of releases each month), but still enjoyable.
