Me too have been a happy owner of a cat. Hence, I know the difference between a cat chasing a mouse & a cat playing with a mouse. My guess is that our Belgian moggy is doing the latter.

C'm on, Daniel... make this interesting and unleash some 70 reviews in 24h.... we know you can do it!!!LOL

I have enough reserves to pass the 3000th review mark if we let Chris S go nuts and include the full batch of unprog artistes that he wants to include in ProgArchives in the XOver categoryLOL

You guys' feat of 2500+ reviews boggles my mind Confused
 
Seconded. I have no idea how can one hear so many albums (and you need to hear them at least few times to write a fair review) and then have also the time to write about each one of them. Sounds "mision impossible" to me. May the best one win. I admire you all.

I lost the last race (1000/2000)  to Gatot two years ago, if you remember well..... Eric had sworn he'd cross the line first, and I'd made sure I was ahead of him so he wouldn't get it (this was a Benelux thing) >> I had even rented and reviewed things I didn't really want to hear back then.... and Gatot sent in some 100 reviews overnight..ConfusedShockedUnhappyLOL.
 
Unlike Daniel/ZZ or Gatot,  I have no reserve reviews, and I have less time to devote to music (family problems, something also plaguing ZZ)
 
 
but I've got an order from Syn-phonic (20 discs) coming in (should be getting it next week)...

Actually it's not a local library... It's a nationwide Mediatheque that was fiirst created in the 30's to allow easier and cheap access to culture for everyone, especially the blue-collar working class. It's not just movies
 
This public(Gv't)-owned system used to be heavily subsididized, but lately (last 10-years) they've become more financially independant (forced by budget cuts) and regularly comes under fire from the industry.... but I've bought hundreds of albums after discovering them through the system.
 
This system works from specialized "shops" in big and medium cities (8 places in Brussels, for ex) where they have very partial collections and computers to browse all of their catalogues and the whereabouts they're located.... then you can reserve them and they get it and it waits for you 10 days for you at the designated counters. Smaller cities have their local book libraries share space for this system (generally a small selection and a computer for reservations on the counter.
Small outback Ardennes villages receive weekly visits from walk-in discobusses, filled with a selection of discs and the reservations that have arrived... You'll bring them back at the bus' next week's passage or drop them in the system's closest mailboxes.

There is approx 500 legally free downloads albums listed here. As you are the folky proggy man here; start with the three albums from here and continue with Dw Dunphy before moving on to Senmuth. That should take you to 3050 reviews.
