So Kayo Dot got moved to the Rio section! Any opinions? I say:  Now they'll probably get the right type of listeners...I'm really proud of our admins. It could've taken a lot longer for some to understand what we're dealing with here. ------------- "Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent" - Victor Hugo |

No, they were moved to the Avant side of RIO/Avant.  Kiddin'  Yeah that's been discussed by the Collabs in the last months and with Coyote coming to confirm the trend it all went smooth. |

Yeah, I had been thinking of Kayo as RIO for a long time... I didn't even notice it wasn't there already. maudlin i guess you can fit into a metal genre, but i don't think you really can say the same for KD ------------- Godspeed, You Bolero Enthusiasts  'Prog is all about leaving home...' - Moshkito

Even at their most metallic (Choirs) they were still an avant band at heart. Definitely where they belong -------------

I hope they belong here. I've not heard complete discography and even despite this support (for which I'm glad), I still was fearing that somebody will object, because it wasn't sanctioned by admins.

| I noticed this to, and I feel it's an appropriate and also a necessary move, given the direction the band is heading. |

No, it was sanctioned by the PMT and ZART, people who should know the ins and outs of their respective genres (well, in theory, but that means listening to a lot of music), something that means a lot more than the admins say so (no offense intended to our knowledgable admins).
To be honest its been a long time comeing, I remember discussing about this after the release of BLD when I was on the PMT nearly 2 years ago. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Yeah. It has been moved. Their later works sound more like some chamber rock. But I'm not that familiar with Kayo Dot, I hope we made the right decision 
Apparently, we did. ------------- Les mains, les pieds balancés Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers, Un marin mort, Il dormira - Paul Éluard |

Yes, both teams sanctioned it, but because of what Evolutionary Sleeper (hehe, Sleeper :-) ) said in team thread, I thought that you need admins, not teams to sanction it. Nevermind it now, everyone's happy, so things got moved and this is the important thing. ------------- There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless," -Andyman1125 on Lulu Even my |

I mean, I knew both the teams needed to give the ok on it, obviously, but I though that we then needed Admin approval afterwards, my bad. I didn't mean to scare you, honest. But anyhow, they're in their proper place now, so all is well.  -------------
