The race for 1000 (reviews)

I voted for Erik. He seems really focused and although he may not submit alot daily, he is always consistent wheras Gatot and Loserboy submit maybe 30 a month and thats it. And Mr. Trane seems to be running out of albums

Nice to notice that this thread comes to life, thanks for the comments

Thanks to my friend Hans from Progwalhalla I have the opportunity to borrow lots of new and interesting prog rock (mainly symphonic). It's quite time-consuming but it's such a wonderful and satisfying feeling if you enjoy an album and 1 or 2 days later you can publish your review. It's even better if you get positive response, that's why I put so much energy and time in making reviews because I have a mission without being religious

Well, Zappa88, it's something that I have build up because in the early Nineties I started to write reviews for Dutch progrock magazines and I have build up a very interesting progrock collection, thanks to the many promo's I received from progrock bands all over the world. A few years ago I decided to stop writing reviews for the largest Dutch progrock magazine iO Pages and to join Progwalhalla because the owner was very glad to welcome an 'experienced progrock reviewer' and I was glad to get the opportunity to review new prog. So in fact we are both very happy with this situation and I am glad that more and more Prog Archives visitors show their interest in Progwalhalla because Hans is a true proghead who does his best to order interesting prog from all over the world instead of only making money from known progrock bands. We share a sincere love for prog and Hans is not focussed on making big money!

This year I'm trying to get all the outstanding CDs I REALLY want- mostly modern/neo prog as my collection had a big gap until December when I got loads of it cheap- as next year I'm in university and expense on music will be cut right down...

I have to admit that I am often stunned about the very young ages of my fellow collaborators, we must be happy that the Labour Union is not aware of Prog Archives their existence
