I noticed that XLT isnt done. Perhaps we the members can help? I figured since we all listen to various type of music and such we could provide sound samples for images or maybe help in webpage stuff. I figured it would help phobs since i am sure he is very very busy. What do you guys think? I mean once the site is done then the mystery of the black dot is unvieled! |

i want to help. |

|
the planned discography could certainly need some help- |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
simple - does change the discography link to discogs.com. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what black dot? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
scroll down as far as it will go and look in the bottom left hand corner ....it's wise to us |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep. that would do it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I agree, to be fair, XLT has lost a bit of ground to the chaps at Discogs.com and unless Phoboid is planning something extra sexy I wouldn't bother too much developing the discography. I think the messageboard covers it really, I don't know what else is needed on this site that can't be found easily elsewhere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow. that must mean something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no way... the xlt discography has a much better interface, content and no ads - it's much better than discogs.com |
||||||||
|

i jsut snet phobiazero the moneys to extend my premium membership, hope it goes to the cause |

Phob has said before that he's willing to accept offers of scans for records that aren't in the discog. He just won't let us add them ourselves which I suppose is fair enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? I like discogs more. to me it's a cleaner lay-out. and I really hate how tiny the scroll-windows are on the xlt-discog interface thingy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i think the white, black and blue is too "i used an html template-wizard to make this"... i also don't see any soundclips... the xlt one has better and larger scans, including the back covers and extra stuff like that. not to mention the advertisements in the middle of the album's information. that's really annoying. i think once xlt's discog is finished, it will be the best one around. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
xltronic may have better and larger scans, but how many does it actually have? discogs simply wins on the amount of records they have. xltronic's discog only has a very small part of the records I own. (it'll be 2020 before any Hafler Trio record besides the ae-h3o-record will appear, for example.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The fact that sound clips are there is great! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can help. not with the dscography section tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only about 25% of the records i own are in the xltdiscogs, whereas 95% can be found at discogs.com ....phoby is really limiting himself if he intends to do a discog for *only* records on certain labels, or for *only* music he deems to be idm, whatever his current system is. the only advantage the xltdiscog seems to have is that we can discuss releases after we're done reading about them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but it's only electronic music. That's the point of the site.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
85% of the music i own is electronic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
List some of what's missing then... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You're good with percentages. |

He's the best! |

Only as good as our Lord and saviour Fidel Castro would allow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh lets see...lemon jelly, avalanches, mr oizo, a lot of stuff on skint records, stuff on ninja tune, lots of compilations (does xlt even have any compilations?) and thats not including records that i wouldnt consider 'electronic', such as dj yoda... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i havent heard about 80% of the artists on xlt, im not as 'deeply' into idm as many of the people here, i just know the big labels like warp, planet mu and rephlex... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the xlt discog has releases by artists for some labels, but not if they've released on a different label not listed, giving a somewhat limited discography of individual artists |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
phoby should either stick to those big labels, or else cover *everything* like discogs.com does |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aside from the big names liek Aphex and Squarepusher etc he's staying away from the commercial stuff and with good reason. There's many a discography that covers those artists and for some of them their labels site does a good job of it but for many of the ones here there's no discographies present for them and phob is filling that hole. Maybe in the future when the discog is closer to completion he'll consider adding the ones you've mentioned but for now he's sticking to the "unknowns" and providing a service for them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well im not expecting phoby to cover them, but there are still some idm artists/releases that arent covered..perhaps they are just small gaps that will be filled in later... |
