The problems are not unique to AMG, as you have proven.

Doesn't a .bin file need to be burned or expanded with a virtual drive? If you try to run a .bin file or install it on a PC, you get nothing but errors unless you mounted it somewhere? Maybe I'm just dumb.

From a web designer's point of view they did actually get things right, but most of them, because of laziness or back engine restrictions, they definitely got wrong: a) They removed some of the heavy table structures they used to have (good). b) They use some tables that are completely unnecessary and take away the speed they gained by removing tables in a) (bad) c) On sub pages (discography) we suddenly have table monsters again. Those are enough to give you the shivers. No idea why they did that. Loading times skyrocket because of that. (very bad) c) Their CMS, whatever they are using (too lazy to check) is just too slow, or the server(s) they host their SQL databases on just can't handle the tremendous amount of traffic they seem to be having. (confusing and stupid) d) They only did cosmetic work. Nothing was done in regard to fact checking, etc. (sucks). good + bad + very bad + confusing/stupid + sucks = waste of time I haven't used the site more than once a month, perhaps, and am reducing even that. Maybe that's what they wanted all along ... reducing the page hit count? Who knows. These sites (= the management) work in mysterious ways.

I have the brochure! I want the SAMPLER!

I saw it for around 100 - 115 Euro. List price is slightly higher, I think.

Count me in.

Finished with dinner. Who's up next? Who wants to hit that jangly "Buy Me Now" button? Huh? HUH?

I knew there must be one advantage to being French. Otherwise there wouldn't be soooooooooo many of you. Was that one available in Paris, from Universal France directly, ...?

I hate you.

"We would really like to hire you, but ..."

The whole lady, plus long hair? That must be quite an arse ...

In every reincarnation as well.

Received the Sacha Distel "Jazz Guitarist" double-CD today. And that completes my set. I now have each and every one of the JiP CDs. Do I win something now?

Thank you! P.S.: Let me know what you think of it when you've had a chance to give it a thorough spin.

Please let me know when you hit that purchase button. Then I can stop posting here ... I need food.

I didn't think you did. One drummer - when he throws down the brushes and has a go at it - who reminds me of Jones is Jeff Hamilton. He has an uncanny command of the set and likes to do stuff with it that Jones did (hands, cymbals, shells). He's just too smooth at times. Thigpen comes to mind as well.

Aren't they prohibited from doing further print runs?

Herlin Riley? Is that the one that played with, err, Ahmad and Wynton? Yeah, the guy is not bad at all. Can't hold a candle to Jo Jones though. With me it's this historic thing ... Jones just influenced so much. I can't imagine where jazz drumming would be without him. He got a bit, err, outspoken later on in life, very opinionated, but you can hear Jones' influence everywhere, throughout the 50s and 60s, for example.

Err, I forgot, FWIW, four stars .... ****
