Ah yes, the legend that was Mandrakeroot.


indeed.  There have been legends in PA's past.  However I'd be hard pressed to name one more than him. He is  the PA's legend that all others are judged against LOL

As Raff alluded to,  an absolute sweetheart who knew his music as well as anyone on this site. However as those who really remember do remember, he had notions of the site which were incompatible with the established norms here and why he and his account are no longer around.  Let's say he had a strong conflict of direction with a certain strong willed genre team leader. I really miss him though he was ..unique. Never duplicated for he was impossible to even attempt to try to imitate LOL
He returned as 1968/ 1976 and requested his old account suspended so he could write new reviews. It's not something we'd normally encourage but as it was Andrea we made allowances, he even continued to add dubious greatest hits and tribute albums for a while. 

Alas he hasn't been here in that guise for almost 12 months now but I have a feeling he returned earlier in the year with yet another account.
What?

Yeah, nice young chap, indeed every pic he posted was in his room, if his current absence is because he is having a bit more of a real life outside of the net, be it welcome, but I hope he will drop by again some day. Maybe he got a Progger girlfriend? I would be happy for him Tongue

I discovered a few days ago that suspended accounts can no longer be found in the memberlist, so one has to take a detour. But his profile is still here.

So are you my friend. Big smile

I miss jean-marie who used Aphrodite's Child '666' as his avatar. Wonderful French man that I shared a lot of warm and heartfelt conversations with. He loved floyd's 'More' just as much as I do, which is rare. 

2Dogs is another one I met in The Krautrock Space. Really nice chap whom I shared a lot of musical tastes with. Same goes for the OP of said thread The Wrinkler who sadly doesn't frequent the forum either.

I miss Alex too. He was a good friend of mine. Same goes for Chris (seventhsojourn), who's reviews are among the finest in the PA database.

Tons of others but my brain isn't working properly at the moment. Too much juice.

Hard to believe it's a shade under a decade that I've been checking in.

Good to see you too Stoney! Clap 

I remember all you guys being up late playing around in a certain thread. I used to love popping in there. It was a lot of fun.




Yeah you too! I still check in here occasionally but now you know there's work and real life to deal with. Funny how time goes away when you've not on the computer all the time.

The Condor is even in Ecuador's national... (how do you say it in English?) Coat of Arms? Anyway, it's supposed to be Ecuador's national animal. Yet there are imbeciles who still go around trying to hunt them. Luckily, tolerance for those idiots is not high anymore and they are punished (I would like harsher punishment but I'll take what I can).

This one was captured in Ecuador last year  and condemned to 6 months of prison



Criminals everywhere.

In Perú he would not go to jail, because prisons are so crowded that people with less than 4 years of sanction don't go to prison.

Probably a fee and nothing more.
