Introduction

So, this is my first try at my own review site. I listen to a lot of music, and generally I end up holding something of a soliloquy to myself afterwards with my thoughts and opinions of the music. I've always thought that it would be worthwhile to write some of this down, in case my thoughts are of interest to someone else, or even if just to get them out of my own head! I do have some experience writing reviews, and I suspect most of the people reading this post are at least somewhat familiar with my reviews of German music, from http://www.deutschemusik.net/. This site is separate from DM.net, and is going to be primarily devoted to music from the rest of the world. That said, I may repost some of my favourite reviews of German music here as well.
Currently, my musical collection contains music from all around the world, ranging in language from Russian to Tuareg, and I'm always trying to expand.
I will also be looking for anyone who would like to write any reviews of their own, for me to post up here. No limits on genre or language, although if you send me a German music review I will likely post it up on DM.net rather than here, though I will provide a link here. Please send any submissions to reviews[at]deutschemusik[dot]net.
I would also like to take a moment to thank an acquaintance, Greg (known to most as flammenstrahl) who runs an absolutely fabulous German news blog located at http://www.germaniac.com/blog/index.php. Originally, this was just going to be a thread in a forum we both frequent, but he suggested I might consider using a blog instead. If this works out at all, it'll be at the very least in part thanks to his suggestion. Thanks for the help Greg, and keep up the great work!
