You can buy the triple album box set now. They've sold over 200-300 sets.  Miami Scot got a download of the entire triple album, did a video review, and gave it 5 stars.   They plan on releasing separate vinyl/CDs -back to back- over a few months in the Autumn.  You can pre-order the first vinyl/CD from Laser.

Although it's an unusual way to do it...I think it's legit. Wink

Indeed, it is an unusual method of releasing whatever you want to call this. I hesitate to call it an album as it is clearly something bigger. I hesitate to order vinyl (something I don't have the equipment set up to handle at this time), especially at a €150 price tag, but yeah, will probably get the first CD at LaserCD. Hopefully they will load some more stuff from the next two books on Bandcamp, so I can at least listen before buying. Thanks!

I just noticed that past "members" CAPH and NANCZO had a propensity for rating everything in site with one stars--hundreds of ratings each. Even their ratings "averages" for every category are between 1.0 and 2.0--which means, to me, that they chose the wrong site--or the wrong music--to experiment with.

Anyway, the reason I bring these two to your attention is due to the misleading wording that PA places above an individual's chart ("Reviews distribution by sub-genre"): why is the second of the three categories in the chart labeled with "Nb of reviews" when in fact there are no requirements of having posted a review, only a rating?

I would love to see a chart that charts the actual number of reviews written/posted--the things that take time, sweat, and energy--as opposed to the minimal efforts made by the machine gun fire ratings mashers. 

Just saying. And perhaps ratings and reviews should be even more segregated in the weighting system.
