Profile

UPDATE: 14 February 2024

I've moved on to other projects. It has been quite a while since I have been on these pages.

I principally use Discogs to document my current collection of music. When I find that I have in my hand an artifact (vinyl or cd) that does not clearly conform with a known release submitted to Discogs, including appropriate artwork, I will make my own submission. On occasion I will add digital scans of the release artwork from my physical copy to a submission I find inadequate in this regard.

I then leave the submission to all the trolls in the Discogs community, their claim to responsibility for assessing if my submission brings value to the marketplace.

If you send a message to me, I will respond, however, it may take several months. If you really need to reach me, send a PM.

I do vote on my own submissions and releases that I have in my collection.

An outstanding collection of ambient music. I found this compilation in the public library in Stockholm. Intrigued by the architecture shown on the cover, I checked it out and took it home to listen. So soothing . . .
