Roye Albrighton for Psychedelic/Space Rock

yam yam wrote: I've 'bumped' this topic in the JR/F team thread, since it's been a while since there were any visible developments. The state of play as of June 2024 was two 'move' votes and one 'no'. The 'moves' would ideally have been to Crossover, but the JR/F team was aware of the previous rejection there, so one team member suggested Eclectic as a last resort, and the other said that the album was a mix of soft rock, a bit of jazz plus a bit of prog, and that Prog Related seemed to be more appropriate. 'The Follies of Rupert Treacle' is tagged on RYM as Progressive Rock, Proggnosis have him (as Prog Uncategorized), and listening now, to me the album does sound as though it belongs here (again, ideally in Crossover Prog). For what it's worth the album is included on our page for Nektar's 'Book of Days' as the bonus disc from the 2020 deluxe edition. Previous Crossover team comments included things like: "A tough call indeed. My vote is UNSURE, tend to NO", "NO (I could be convinced to move to Prog Related - not sure it meets qualifications)" and: "I tend to go "no" as well", so although it looks like an out and out rejection with all three team members voting 'no', they weren't strong 'no' votes, and if all else fails I'd be tempted to throw this back to the Crossover team for a reconsideration (though all three Crossover team members would need to vote 'yes' if that were to happen). I'd be surprised if Roye Albrighton would be considered by our admins to meet the criteria for inclusion in Prog Related, and in any case it would need a Special Collaborator to step up to the plate, put together a convincing case in support of his inclusion, and then present it to the admins in order for the proposal to be even considered.

Are there any updates on this addition?

I'll have the team give him a listen, but personally speaking, I think he would have been a better fit for crossover.

I looked it up on Google and it said PSIKE is in Istanbul, although I'm sure that can't be right.  It's the collab team that evaluates the psych, krautrock, electronic, and raga suggestions for the site. But hey, maybe the name came from the place in Istanbul

Thanks for the updates. Please let me know if you require any further information concerning Roye Albrighton. 

Yes, and I think you'll find that my first post above answered that inquiry for you - giving you a copy of the votes that the PSIKE team cast (which were all 'move' to another subgenre) and the link to that team's chart history on AwesomeProg (where the PSIKE team is still referred to as psych). I suggested that this 'move' decision by the PSIKE team would most likely have been to Crossover, to which Cristi responded that they'd already been rejected there. I therefore posted the details of the Crossover evaluation here as well to show that the evaluation by them was only carried out a few months earlier than the one by the PSIKE team, and that the rejection in Crossover was a pretty strong one.

Yes, and there haven't been any new albums as far as I know, so that's going to be the end of it for now.
