PM was sent and it has been responded to.   I do check these topi cs if I see them in the active topics list, but I am sometimes completely absent for days. I get various PMs to deal with things very regularly, and that is a good way to contact us. I don;t get email notifications of these, but at least when I come back I then will see them.

I love Catherine Ribeiro + 2 Bi and Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes, and it should be a pleasure to investigate as she is one of my very favourite singers based on those projects. If she has any proggy qualities solo, then I think I may be reluctant to remove it.

Send them a private message, they will reply. I don't know what else is there to say. 

Also post the error in the E & O team thread, they will also bring the matter to the admins.

Looks like somebody has decided to add an album from Catherine Ribeiro's solo career to the Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes page and a review has now shown up.

It is well established that she + Alpes and her solo career are two completely different artist entries

She + Alpes lasted from 1970 to 1980 but here solo career started in 1977 and continued to at least 2002

She + Alpes is the freaky avant-folk proggy space rock that we all know

Her solo stuff is strictly traditional French chanson

The album Fenêtre ardente needs to be removed from the database



You'll have to write the admins about that. 
My problem is also that alainPP does not know how to add albums. If he added other albums, I think they need editing. 

(I also think this user account is handled by several people, should be reason enough for a ban IMO.)

This is not the first time we have to deal with offensive reviews from a user of the BrufordFreak collaborator. Please take measures to moderate such reviews.

Thank you

It's much kinder than what I would have written, had I taken the time to write a lengthy review for the album. Here's the blurb that I wrote a while ago on my website: "I'm not getting all the buzz around this artist. It's nice, non-confrontational musical journeys around the prog neighborhood, never really arriving anywhere."

A harsh review is not disrespectful - but the following in my opinion is disrespectful
"Were I a professional musician with any sense of pride whatsoever, I would never have published these songs in the states of partial-completion that they're in. It is, to my mind, disgraceful."

and should be replaced with - "Personally I would never have considered releasing songs in such a state of 'partial-completion'"  would have achieved the point without suggesting that this artist is lacking in professional pride and that they are disgraceful for releasing it.

ОК. If you think so, then there are no questions for you. On the other hand, this review may be useful for us.

Have a nice day

I too think it is an exaggeration. At least you were given a review, and by a very respected reviewer BrufordFreak, not a review-less 1 star bomb by some random doofus, like I did.

I don't think the review is offensive. It's a honest review with a reviewer a bit unsatisfied with what he heard. Nothing wrong with that. 

I don't think the review is insulting or defamatory. That's an exaggeration.

It's a little confusing too. And not a review.


That "review" from the bandmember on the album is pointing out an error.

The main issue is that it seems that the FISH Hollow Earth album was added erroneously to the Derek William Dick Fish discography despite being a totally different project. I have not found a Dick/Fish album of that name but here is the bandcamp page for the FISH band that released the album Hollow Earth: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=FISH+Hollow+earth

Originally posted by bandcamp bandcamp wrote:

FISH, formerly known as Fase, is an American-Canadian studio prog rock band from Oberlin, OH. Formed in 2015, the band currently consists of guitarist Doug Hogg, drummer Brian Newbury, guitarist Noel Ward and bassist Aiden Beckman ... In May 2023, they began writing for their debut album temporarily titled “Flood Lungs”. By August 2023, they had commenced the writing portion and would begin recording in September-November; mixing and mastering would be done by Monolithic Architex in December. The title was changed to “Hollow Earth”, releasing on January 5, 2024.


I'll bring this to the Errors and Omissions team before deleting not just the review but the album entry.

EDIT: I deleted the debut album that was mistakenly added to the Derek William Dick Fish discography.

Moreover, I find the ratio of one star ratings for this album rather suspicious.

No, I don't think so. The only thing you can do is to get in touch with the reviewer and ask him to repost his review in the proper place and then ask an admin to delete the superfluous one. But considering that this reviewer's last visit on the site took place in 2016...
It's worth trying, IMO. His email address seems legit in our database. So your PM might go to the right place... Smile
