People sometimes post in this forum asking for an album to be added for an artist that is already in the Archives.

However, you can add an album yourself, as explained below.

If you click on the 'Add albums' link on the artist's Discography page it will take you to a form on which you can enter the album's details and even upload a JPG file of the album cover. The 'Add albums' link is just beside the 'show covers' tick-box.

The form is self-explanatory and even specifies the file type (JPG), image size (width of 200 pixels) and file size (maximum of 100 kb) of the album cover image that you can upload (if you have it).

You can use a graphics program to manipulate an image file of the album cover into the required file type, image size and file size. There are many such programs, both commercial and freeware; I use IrfanView (Google it), which is my favourite freeware image viewer and manipulation utility.

If you add an album, please post in this thread to let us know. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hey, I added an album and it has a little mistake in the names of the band members. It's the new Mar De Robles CD "Indígena", it says "Lucho Tobar" and it must say "Julio Tobar".
And I can't submit a review, it throws me an error, look:

ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd'



Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.



/post_rateit.asp, line 14

The link to the album is http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=15437 - http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=15437

And my review was:

Four years after their debut album, Mar De Robles came out with an awesome release named "Indígena". Unlike "MdR", this album is purely instrumental except for little passages in "X_2000" and "Chileneos", and that means Lucho Tobar mostly played the sax and flute throughout it. The results are beautiful: 9 tracks of ethnic latin prog, chaotic at times and mellow at others, but this fulfills what we were expecting from the band.
Every band member knows how to make his instrument sound like his own soul, being it Rodrigo's guitar or Ignacio's djembé, and that's extremely appreciated when listening to progressive music.
I bought this and I can tell you that it is worth every cent and I give it four stars because I know Mar De Robles has much more to show and sooner or later will come out with a five-stars amazing records.

Recommended to: any fan of King Crimson, Focus and latin prog in general, specially fans of Akinetón Retard.

Be aware of this exquisite chilean band!!

And 4 stars :P

Well, when I loogged in I did it as "Guest", so I deleted the cookies and tried again. It's fixed now, thanks.

added the seond album by German group Rebekka. It was called "Labyrinth", from 1984. I don't have many details and was not able to find much on the web, but I posted the LP cover and the track listing. I will review it shortly.

I am trying to add the album Forecast: Tomorrow by the band WEATHER REPORT onto the site. Although I have included the songs and release information, I cannot add the musicians becuase they are so vast in number (4 Discs worth of material covering the band's entire existence). Is there a way to avoid this, or must I put every musician who has participated? I cannot find a list of all the musicians per track, either.

Prog... It's good.

If there is an overall list of musicians in the CD booklet or on the cover, just copy that.

On a side note - it's probably better to start a separate thread for such issues, instead of extending the 'How to ... ' thread.
