| What
To Improve |
Our
feedback (by Bart Jan van der Vorst, Bob Mulvey and Derk van Mourik) |
| For you guys to like my music!!!! |
We do like your music
Fred! |
| Go on, you're doing a great job! |
thank you |
| More cd revieuws |
we'll try. See also the main evaluation of the poll |
| Go on, you're doing a great job! |
thank you |
| Keep up the good work!!! |
thank you, we will |
| To focus more in the real progressive music. I think DPRP is
still stuck in all the neo-prog and pop prog related artists, and forgets
about the true progressive music around. It would be great if you could
increase your attention to the rock-in-opposition |
What is real, and what
is not? |
| This is a great site! I'd like the news to be updated more
often, but I realize its a huge job to get what we get! Thanks and keep up
the great work!!!!!!!! |
We try, but as you guessed it's a huge job. |
| More frequent news, as it happens, other than that just carry on
the excellent service. |
See above! |
| Even more Counting out time please! Thankyou for reading. Happy
new year to you all. |
Your wish is our command |
| Not really, go on as you do, I think you are the best site of
this kind! |
Thanks |
| More reviews about not-typical progressive bands like Sigur Ros
or Tool. |
Let us hope we meet up in 2003 |
| No. I hope you will continue this way for many years to come! |
thank you |
| You're making a great Job!!
Best wishes for the 2003 |
and to you |
| More frequent album reviews, but make 'em a bit shorter and more
to the point. |
Working on it |
| no I like it a lot the way it is now! |
thank you |
| Bring Back Ed:- |
Sorry, that is one thing we can't do. He chose to leave himself
and we respect his decision. He is still around to write the occasional
review though! |
| More timely reviews of new releases. |
As stated in the poll evaluation, that is one of the major
points we try to improve. |
| More Archive/Old Reviews.
Suggest a featured artist a month |
Nice idea. |
| more CD-Reviews |
We have some new team members for 2003 - so we hope to do more |
| doing very well in the growth you're experiencing. |
thank you |
| i do really like the contents but a smoother and faster
navigation and generally faster loading times would be desireable.
www.artrockcovers.com can help. :-) |
We're working on that. |
| Update in "The long songs" More reviews per week |
We will give it a go |
| No, you do a fantastic work |
Cheers |
| No, keep up the good work. In my humble opinion you are by far
the best prog rock site on the internet. You keep people like myself, in the
highlands of Scotland, in touch with what is happening in the quality music
scene. Well Done! |
Many thanks and nice to hear from Scotland |
| – Reviews: shorter and more to the point (it is not necessary to
describe every song on a reviewed album);
– It would be great if DPRP (i.e. its editors/writers) gave a list of
their current favourite Top Ten (or Top Five) of new albums on a regular
basis |
Some
of the reviews have become shorter, but some albums require more in depth
analysis. We are planning some changes for DPRP in 2003, so we will look at a
personal top 10 or 5 for the team members. |
| The Releases page could be maintained more properly... |
Please see the Poll evaluation. This job is vacant if anyone is
interested. |
| More reviews in CDelight, Congratulations to CD Reviews. I
didn't like Counting out time the past year. Smashing Pumpkins, ELO, U2 are
bands very goods, but I think that there are a lot of bands more close and
more important in the History of Progressive Rock |
Unfortunately Cdelight doesn't get updated anymore. As for CoT,
U2 was actually an original article of the 1999 run of CoT. And it's
importance and impact on all music, including prog, has been well-documented.
Dito for ELO and their use of orchestral arrangements. The Smashing Pumpkins
are included to prove that there is more to prog than just mellotron and
long-drawn guitar solos. I hope you liked the inclusions of ELP, Ayreon,
Genesis and King Crimson we did this year. |
| Please don't ! Stay true to yourself ! I really do think that , even if you are
not the best, Only the truth of feelings and sincerity is worthwhile.
Anything else is just showbiz crap. Well , in fact you may take this advice
into account. |
?? I'm not sure I completely follow you, but thanks anyway! |
| The reviews can be more critical! |
More critical? I bet a lot of Flower Kings or Marillion fans
won't agree with you. |
| Every band has their own page, so perhaps DPRP should forget
about band pages and give the news and updates of the official sites instead. |
It is likely the band pages will disappear when we move to
DPRP.net. As for updates on other band's websites, when they notify us of
significant changes, these will be included in our News updates. |
| More regular items in the "Forgotten Sons" section |
FS is
not a regular column like for instance the cd reviews. |
| Cd-reviews eerder maken na release nieuwe cd. |
As stated in the poll evaluation, that is one of the major
points we try to improve. |
| Not really. Hope you can maintain this high standard. |
Many thanks |
| More news over new releases, news about bands recording a new cd
in studios |
We're
dependent on the news we receive from bands, which we then try to
publish. |
| You continue in you political way... this is correct and good |
we try not to confuse politics with music. There are enough
political parties and musicians who do so. |
| Bring back Ed! Tell Ed thanks for the service all these years.
He will be missed. Eric |
Sorry, we can't bring Ed back, but he will be around to write
the occasional review though! |
| Keep on going ! |
thank you, we will |
| just keep on becoming better like you're doing!! Cheers! |
thank you, we will |
| I only discovered you a few months ago, but I think you are the
best prog music site on the Web! Bravo! |
Welcome |
| No, keep up the good work! |
we will! |
| Shorter CD reviews. Reviews often contain comments per song,
which make them a bit too long for my taste. |
Some
of the reviews have become shorter, but some albums require more in depth
analysis. We are planning some changes for DPRP in 2003, so we will look at a
personal top 10 or 5 for the team members. |
| More comprehensive CDE reviews |
See above |
| I'd
like to see new records of well-known bands in favour of all those unknown
CDs that don't get a decent rating (and there are many of these reviews!),
for example: Symphony X's The Odyssey has not been reviewed yet and that's a
shame. I know that DPRP |
We
can only review the CD's we receive, however I agree with your comments - let
us hope that more of the bands read your comments and send us their new
releases. We must not, however forget some of the excellent new bands that
emerge each year. |
| No. Just keep up the good work! |
We intend to! |
| CD Reviews sometimes are too long. |
Read above please |
| DPRP
is definitely one of the very best prog-related sites out there ! A possible improvement I can think of
(although then again not that big a flaw currently): less time elapsed
between official release and the CD-review, in partiuclar for the
marquee |
Two
points here. From our point at DPRP, we hope to improve the time taken from
release to it appearing on the site. It should be noted that sometimes the
bands don't send us their material straight away. |
| nothing in particular but keep on going as strong as last year Thank you very much |
we intend to make it even better! Thanks for your commends. |
| Too little has happened with DPRP in 2002. Far less updates than
previous years. |
Quite
a lot happened within DPRP in 2002 - hence less updates. We hope to improve
during 2003 |
| More Off-the-map reviews... progressive expresses itself in
different ways every year. So grow with new artists. |
We are trying to balance the old and the new |
| If possible, much earlier cd-reviews |
As stated in the poll evaluation, that is one of the major
points we try to improve. |
| NLgigs equivalent in the UK! |
Great idea - now we just need a volunteer? |
| Update of the Jadis-pages. |
See above regarding the band pages |
| more exclusive interviews would be cool! |
That is in the planning. |
| Maybe it should be better if you included a jazz-RIO friendly
reviewer among your team of reviewers, so every avant-garde prog CD is better
received and more accurately appreciated in the reviews. |
We are constantly looking to improve and your point is noted.
This year we have taken on two new prog rock reviewers - so point noted |
| Perhaps make the concert and CD reviews more concise. They are v
useful ... but time is tight. Great
news page Thank you and keep up the
great work Dave |
Thanks Dave - but if you've read some of the other comments then
you can see the problem. Make it longer - make it shorter, in depth - more
concise. But we try. |
| I like it just the way it is!!
Thanks. |
and so do we - well most of the time |
| It would be nice to have a prog gig calendar, by european
country, where prog bands can post their gig dates. e.g. IQ could post in the
UK calendar that they were performing at the Mean Fiddler Dec 14th. This
would also allow lesser know bands to post gig |
Good idea. We'll keep it in mind! |
| somewhat faster reviews (of, for example, symphony x) |
Let's
see if we have improved in the 2003 Poll |
| Band pages are not up to date. |
The band pages are being phased out. |
| Ver good job! Keep on going! |
Thank you - we will |
| just keep up the good work!!! |
Thank you - we will |
| Get a content management system man! |
A management system that is workable for a huge site like ours,
would cost us a lot of money, and since we don't make any money off DPRP… |
| Best prog website around.
Keep up the good work. |
Thank you |
| Keep it the way it is.
Keep up the good work. |
Thanks |
| Nope! :) |
Sure? |
| Thanks for this wonderful web!!! |
You're welcome |
| You are the best in the net. Maybe some more reviews of either
non-new releases or re.releases.
Thank you for everything |
We will make a note of all of the comments and see how many we
can incorporate during 2003 |
| Nope...just keep up the same guality work. Thank you for all
that hard work. |
Nice to be appreciated |
| I think DPRP is one of the best prog web sites out there. I really enjoy it just the way it is. |
Cheers |
| Keep up the good work in 2003! |
We plan too - thank you |
| No, excellent web page |
Thanks |
| It would be nice if DPRP could be more of a community like
"Progressive Ears". But to be that you should really need new a
good WORKING forum. And perhaps the
design is a bit out of date :) |
We're working on a new forum. It would be nice if people would
actually use it then though :-) |
| Some reviews take too long since the album is available. Perhaps
is not your fault but... |
Perhaps sometimes it is |
| nope, just keep up the good work! |
OK we will - thanks |
| add more counting of time and forgotten son |
Working on it |
| More news update´s please,and reviews from bands i know,i missed
the new Clepsydra review!! the best cd of the year Alone,( |
So did we !!!!! |
| Well- I would like to know more about the Forum or the Gig Guide
to other countries. I've never seen or heard anything about them. |
When we move to the new
site |
| more (dutch) concert reviews |
Wel… you know what to do I suppose? |
| more reviews of 1967-1990 as a reference |
Like Counting Out Time you mean? |
| Not really. |
That's good - thanks |
| Pages are slow to load |
The pages are being looked at for quicker downloading |
| MORE FREQUENT NEWS |
As stated in the poll evaluation, that is one of the major
points we try to improve. |
| Some revieuws are not objective and are the opinion of the
author. Like I don't like jazz influenses so the cd is not good. I would like more objective revieuws |
Sorry, as we try to explain in the FAQ, an objective review
doesn't exist. It is always the opinion of the reviewer after all. We try to
distribute the albums we receive according to the taste among our reviewers,
but sometimes one slips through. For releases by larger bands we aim for duo
or roundtable reviews to get a more nuanced review. |
| I just discovered DPRP this year and find it to be a great
resource. But I feel the new releases
section needs to be updated every month to keep it current and relevent. |
You are right and this is one area for improvement in 2003 |
| my only complaint is that i miss CD reviews from italian prog
bands. besides that you guys are the
best. keep the good work. happy 2003 ! |
We miss them too |
| MANY CONGRATULATIONS, IS A EXCELENT LINK, GO¡ |
THANK YOU |
| I like the additional reviews from the usa. I'd like to see
more....but I know it's hard to depend on the yanks for all the input :^) |
Gig reviews you mean? Write them and we'll publish them! |
| As I already told you your gig calendar for US is almost
useless, because you don't provide state along with city name! |
The
gig guides are something for us to look at in 2003 - but to undertake a USA
Guide we might need someone from there to help? |
| you are the best online site for progrock fans. |
Thanks |
| I think you're doing great. |
Thanks |
| No, just keep up the good work! |
We will |
| more frequient updates, more participation from readers, make it
a more living site!! |
We are working on this |
| A better "Upcomming Releases" page |
Again we are working on this |
| None - you're just about perfect !!!!! |
That's nice. |
| This is the first time I've been here. I received some e-mails
from you-I don't know how you got my e-mail address-but all is cool.I'll be
checking out your site more.This is the reason why I've left so many areas
blank as I am only being honest.So-I hope |
We hope you keep
coming back too. |
| More reviews! |
Working on it |
| Keep it up! |
We will |
| NO |
THANX |
| no, don't change what is already terrific. |
Thank you |
| Please include a one-line explanation about the kind of news at
each band mentioned in an Update List e-mail. |
If we did that, we might as well put the whole news update in
the mail, and that is clearly not our intention. :) |
| Keep up the good work!!! Thanks a lot!!! |
We will and thank you |
| Hi guys, excellent work, but you should make Couting Out time
more interactive, to see what people think, you know like Progfreaks.com hall
of fame :) Also if visitors could rate the reviewed cd's would be nice too |
The new forum could take the role of Counting out Time feedback
platform. To include a rating system we would really need to give up our
dayjobs. We'd love to have a more interactive system and database, but
currently we are lacking resources (both human, financial and time). |
| more CD reviews |
See above |
| Keep up the good work! |
Thanks |
| The layout of the website looks old and outdated and patchy. Not
attarctive to the eye. Otherwise it is right now the best source of musical
information around. |
A
comment often made about Progressive Music itself - but still a worthy point
and we will give it some thought. |
| I'm
very glad with your site and all the information it offers. The only
improving change you could make (in my opinion) is to enlarge the number of
CD-reviews and keep them shorter. I know (from experience)that it takes a lot
of time to write reviews so |
It
certainly does take time to write the reviews. We also have to be fair not
only to our readers, but also the the bands and musicians who have put a
great amount of time, effort and their own money into their release. |
| No "TOOL" is a major gap in your great collection of
pages. Keep up the good work. |
Perhaps TOOL might read your comment and get in touch - let's
hope so |
| the only thing this page misses is a good forum like the spock's
beard or flower kings message board. The current dprp forum is in my opinion
not worthwhile visiting |
As covered above - but an interesting point |
| Seriously, I think you guys do a good enough job already -- well
done! One enhancement I can think of
though is to let visitors attach their own comments somehow to reviews of
albums and DVDs (and gigs I guess) -- just to get a balanced view. Something |
When we get the forum of the ground, that will be the primary
discussion/feedback platform. |
| I would like to see some reviews sooner after (maybee even
before) it's actual release. But I realise it's allot of work. Do not change
to much. Love your site! |
Sometimes the bands and record labels send their material in
advance of it's release - we have managed this a few times in 2003 |
| keep up the good work |
Thanks |
| Any change you could lead the way in getting free samplers off
labels. |
We received 25 Inside Out samplers for the poll last year. Let's
hope they do something like that again soon! |
| I don't have much to complain about really. DPRP is a good site
but of course, things can always be better... 1.
Sometimes it takes too long from an albums release to the point where
it gets reviewed on the site. I guess that most albums that gets rev |
Covered above |
| I WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT CAMEL! |
Noted - but it may be worth joining the Camel mailing list as
this is kept regularly up-dated from the CP Team |
| Maybe a few more reviews |
Sure |
| In the newsletter I'd like to see a direct link to the updated
section of the DPRP. |
So do we, but unfortunately our majordomo program doesn't
support html, so we can't include an e-mail link. However, the updated
section is always the first one on the main, so the update is never more than
two clicks away. |
| Keep up the good work! |
Thank you |
| I'd like the link to the new CD reviews to go directly to that
specific new page, instead of the index.
And perhaps a bit more information on releases of of older, major
bands like King Crimson and Yes. |
Good points. |
| More MP3-samples. f.ex. together with the reviews. Gig guides, other countries more up to
date. I get my info forg the danish prog mailinglist, so I'm OK, but still
you should either keep it updated or drop it (there's almost never anything
on the scan |
Points taken on board |
| CD Releases page updated more frequently |
Covered above |
| No! Please go on in the same way! |
Cheers |
| Just go on this way! Try to review all major new releases. |
Thanks and we will try |
| I'd like the reviews to focus more on the overall impression and
the feelings of the author while listening to the CD, than on such details as
which solo reminds of which band... |
It is for the author to decide how she writes a CD review. We
cannot and will not enforce such style strictures. |
| more live reviews with pix
more cd reviews just more
really! It's very good quality information and has introduced me to several
new bands - i like the cd reviews layout with direct links to band websites
with tracks to download if you want to listen to |
Working on it all the time |
| Hopenlijk blijft de kwaliteit van DPRP zo goed, ook al hebben we
helaas afscheid moeten nemen van Ed Sander. Succes met deze overgang! |
We blijven positief! |
| No, it's one of the best Prog-rock sites I know. |
Thank you for your comments |
| Not really. |
That's good - thanks |
| Just to wish you all a very great New Year and keep the Prog
news rolling thru the web waves for 2003 and more years to come! (Good luck
Ed Z.!) |
Many thanks |
| Keep the reviews short(er)! |
That's possible |
| Maybe they can review more non-Europe and non-US bands. There
are lots of people in other places doing great music. Other than that,
they're doing great! |
There
is much good prog to be found around the world - we just need it to find
us |
| I think that it is important to try to elevate newer bands, and
by giving them Roundtable or Duo reviews, when appropriate, would help in
that regard. |
The
only problem with Round Table reviews of newer bands, as I see it, would be
if all the reviewers disliked the album, it could set the band back years.
More established bands can ride the criticisms. |
| Forme it's a shame that there's still no milestone in Counting
Out Time for Gentle Giant !!! ABout time to write it down ! |
Totally agree |
| Things only improved a bit b/c they were excellent already. |
Many thanks for that |
| The CD releases page is almost always unreadable. It would be
nice if it had another background anf thus would open once, and not twice per
second (at least that is how it looks to me...) |
Is the new layout any better? Perhaps orange is not the best
colour. |
| As Ed stated in his farewell speech, there is a lot of emphasis
on mellotron prog. There should be more prog metal. On a personal note, I
should have emailed you guys and gals my interest as a prog metal reviewer.
Keep up the great job!!! |
We have started to include more prog metal releases and
hopefully this will increase during the coming months and years. |
| I'm very curious about the popularity of the new releases. Maybe
it's an idea to arrange a chartlist of progressive rockmusic. But... i'm very
impressed with what you're doing for our favourite music, so go on and good
luck. |
Interesting idea - what did you have in mind - Bob |
| no, i think i like it the way it is. but i would love it if you could send some
bands on tour to scandinavia. we want goood music up here too, you
know With hopes for a good music
year. ken carlsson |
Hi Ken - we hope that more of the bands will tour in Scandinavia
(well all over really). Let's hope they read this. |
| What about including french concerts in the gigs list ?? There
are the english ones but the french ones seem to have been forgotten !!!! |
It's
not just France, sadly as is most of the world. |
| THE CD RELEASES AREA NEED TO BE ALWAYS UPDATED AND MORE PRECISE
THANK YOU. |
Covered above |
| since some months the pages doesn´t actualize themselves - it
shows that there are some news (e.g.), but the click on the news shows some
old news - it took me some to realise i had to use the "F5" button
each time |
That is not a problem of the pages, but of your browser
settings. |
| More news :) |
Wouldn't we all want more news? :) |
| more information about 9 or 10/10 old albums |
For the future of Counting Out Time |
| More Pan-Eurpoean tour dates, e.g. for Germany. |
See DPRP evaluation and points above |
| More round table reviews |
Not so easy with the international team members - but we will
give it a go |
| Search options in databse could be better Less frequent DPRP-emails, more content |
Possibly - one to talk about, anyway |
| Please keep adding reviews. |
OK we will |
| Concert Gigs for Prog groups in the US. |
Dealt with above |
| Not, just keep up the good work. |
Thanks |
| quite happy with DPRP |
and so are we - almost |
| No, not particulary. I quite often disagree with reviews but
that's just a matter of taste and perspective. You're just way the best prog
site around. Keep it up! |
Good to see that disagree with some of the reviews. It makes it
worthwhile if it stirs people up - little use if we all liked the same
things. Thanks for the feedback. |
| maybe a new look? |
Working on it |
| A comprehensive USA concert guide would be great. But I realize
this is an unrealistic task for contributors outside the USA. RE: Above 1. IQ doesn't seem too have any other
presence on the internet. 2. Only
because the focus seems to have become sl |
Well
this is mentioned above - but your point is correct, it would probably need
someone from the USA to make it viable. |
| Faster reviews on the pages and less Anglo-American
oriented....more Italian and French |
That would be nice - calling France and Italy? |
| Nothing. Keep up the good work! |
Cheers |
| More reviews |
as above |
| I Would Like To See CD-reviews Page More Operative.For Example,
About New Sylvan's Masterpiece. I Heard It Two Month Ago... |
That review has been online for months, I'm not sure I can
follow you… |
| More reviews of dvbd concerts, Like Kansas, Spocks Yes etc |
The latest Yes and Spocks DVDs are online! As for Kansas, well,
we never received a copy, so we're just waiting for one of our team to buy it
himself! |
| I would like to see the rating for a review put against its
listing in the index page (by all means keep the recommendation tag as well). |
We
are looking at the CD Reviews Page to make the older archives more relevent -
point noted |
| i am very pleased with the service and information. CD-reviews
from obscure bands from all over the world is the least interesting section. |
I would only comment that if we ommit releases from around the
world, we and you might one day miss a truly great band. |
| Nop, keep doing the good work! |
Thanks |
| The long songs list back! |
covered above |
| Keep up the good work! :) |
OK we will |
| No :o) |
Alright - but we might keep working on it |
| unfortunately no updates to band pages and CDelight, that's why
the rating above is low |
Covered above |
| Not really, the pages still look good, are easy to use and load
quickly on a modem. |
Thanks |
| The Global Graphic ... it is a bit too kitsch ... |
?? On the Links page you mean? Got any better suggestions for
links on the World Wide Web?? :-) |
| more reviews and also more updates on releases would be nice |
Covered above |
| More reviews, update of links more times. |
Covered above |
| No |
Thanks |
| Get the concertguide for Scandinavia working again! |
A volunteer might be nice - perhaps from Scandinavia? |
| I know it is difficult, but there are a lot of new releases to which no attention is paid |
Point taken |
| It's great - keep up the great work! |
Thankyou |
| you're doing fine. ;) |
are we - thanks |
| Samples on new albums. |
under discussion |
| I would like to see polls for all-time prog album / track. (I
will even volunteer to count the votes)
Also I would like to win a dprp competition - I keep trying but have
no luck. |
Well if we do more competitions you will stand a better chance |
| Just keep up the good work!!!! |
OK we will |
| Keep following your way and pay more attention to analyzing
music from the former USSR |
We just need more bands from those countries to get in contact |
| You don't put US states in the address of the venue in the Gig
Guide, which often make the Guide useless.
Do you know hom many Milfords, Hollices, Concords, St. Petesburgs,
etc. in the US? Tens! Add states,
please! Or, stop publishing US Guide and wast |
We've covered this above - but more food for thought |
| more DVD Reviews more
oldies Reviews |
OK we will |
| CD
reviews should be in line with CDs available in shops : sometimes, the CD has
been released for quite a long time before the review (e.g Symphony X's the
Odyssey), sometimes, the review is written but the CD not available before
long (e.g Lana Lane) |
As stated in the poll evaluation, that is one of the major
points we try to improve. |
| More CD reviews! In 2002 there were fewer than back in
2001! More Prog News! But both services are already excellent!!! |
This is covered in the Poll itself - but it's in hand |
| Nothing
really. You could add year of release to the entries in the index of CD
reviews. Actually, indexing the reviews is getting hard because you have so
many of them now. Sometimes I read a review, and then want to go back to it a
few weeks later, but |
We are looking at this - so hopefully |
| More of cdelight |
Alas not - me thinks |
| Great website! However a
mp3 section with more special versions/bands would be great (ie Genesis
Musicbox live 1972) as well as video (liveexcerpts) would be great! |
Perhaps on the new site? |
| Less about the Netherlands concerts it makes me feel jealous in
the UK. |
I know what you mean (Bob in the UK) |
| More reviews !! i'm surprised that a dutch band named Like Wendy
(4 albums !!) has never been reviewed. Keep up the good work ! |
Perhaps Like Wendy will read your comment and send us some
material? |
| MORE CD REVIEWS OF SOUTH AMERICAN GROUPS |
If we receive more review material from South American groups,
we will review them! |
| Don't know. Never visit this page. |
Are you sure |
| More progressive metal information |
In hand |
| more prog-metal |
In hand |
| I would like if the reviewrs of the cd's had a bio 1) list their all time favorite cd 2) what they like now 3) their favorite band 4) their age and when they start listening
to prog This way we can have more of
an understanding of where the review is |
Some of this information can be found on the Contacts and
Credits Page - however it is an area we are looking at for 2003 |
| No. It is a surveyable site. |
Thank you |
| More interviews, less irrelevant CD-reviews. More focus on the "Big Ones"
(bands, gigs, releases).... |
More interviews - soon. |
| More and more CD Reviews :-) |
more and more time to write them - please |
| thanks for life |
|
| DPRP is really good value... |
Thanks |
| I'd like to see the CD Release page updated more a more regular
basis. Other than that, I really enjoy the site! |
Covered above and thanks |
| I like it the way it is, but related genres like psych/space and
fusion could perhaps be covered too... but as I said, I like DPRP the way it
is... |
Good points and food for thought |
| Maybe more contests, more articles, ephemerides section, a rare
or hard-to-find album lyrics section, masterpieces's in-deep analysis. |
Some good ideas here - thankyou |
| I'd just like to wish everybody at DPRP a happy new year. I would like to see in the Specials page
some kind of interview with Frank Bornemann or round table review of any (or
all) eloy albums. thank you very much! |
Nice suggestion about Eloy |
| I miss information about progmetal and that kind of bands. I´m
very, very surprised that band issues like Dark Moor, Divercia, Ensiferum,
Moonsorrow, Paragon etc ain´t mentioned.
I do miss demo-reviews, local concert-arrangements and more about the new |
Well we have two new prog metal reviewers for 2003 - so
hopefully! |
| Maybe more prog metal. And access to all cd reviews (also from
the past!!!) |
as above perhaps |
| Hi folks thanks a
zillion times for the wonderful work you do - it's always a big pleasure
readig your page Happy 2003! Andrea |
thanks Andrea |
| Could you sell CD's cheaply????! |
No - sorry |
| Give the possibility to read it in Dutch |
No, sorry. We have always focused on being international (i.e.
English language) plus that 60% of our team doesn't even speak Dutch
themselves. The excellent Prog-nose is available in Dutch though (god knows
where they find their time to translate all :-) |
| Make
Cd-reviews more up to date. "Big" cd's in the prog-scene are often
reviewed weeks after they've been released. Personally I find that more and
more cd-reviews are about uninteresting bands (See: how do you think DPRP
changed). Idea: organise a poll |
Well most of this is covered above - but another Poll (you never
know) |
| I like it the way it is , Superb !! |
Thanks |
| There are many reviews of "never-heard-of" bands
(which is not bad:) but in the same time you're missing some (IMHO) key
reviews, like Peter Hammill's "Clutch" or Opeth's
"Deliverance"... |
And we are looking at this - thanks |
| If it's possible (probably hard but who knows) to have dates for
concerts in North America (Porcupine Tree did come in Montreal and their were
no advertisinng !!! and I mist it!). By the way it is by the informations
presented that I found that Flower Kin |
Covered above |
| More Counting out time please |
Covered above |
| More roundtable reviews of CD's (if possible...)or duo
reviews More about Prog History More material for specials |
Covered above - but we agree |
| No -please change nothing ; at my humble ? opinion DPRP are the
best/most complete progwebpages(surely for news and gigs). Although I'm a
member of Prog-Nose (Belgium-you know)I spend less time on DPRP-pages than
other years (and more on Prog-Nose because |
Because ? Let us know |
| Make more reviews! :) |
covered above |
| Interviews |
Yes |
| More about Kaipa |
We will, if opportunity arises. |
| More Updates from Forgotten Sons!!! |
covered |
| Keep it this way en good luck for the future |
Thanks |
| Concerning the CD Review, it would be better to have one page by
artist, with all albums already released and the new ones... |
Possibly, but some bands only have one album - one to talk
about, anyway |
| Please update"CD Reviews"more frequently and timely. |
covered above |
| more good links to websites of bands |
it's happening |
| I think you are the best site out there espcially how current
you are.I am vrey interested in progressive music,so I have my hand on the
pulse so to speak and I do go to alot of sites related to this andyou guys
are my favorits and I can find little fault |
Thanks
for comments - it makes it all seem worthwhile |
| I would like to see in the DPRPoll a sector fr best instrumental
album and best instrumental piece, and a section for best ballad song. Also.
it would be interesting to know among how many titles he owns a voter wahes
its selection. The site could tabulat |
The
Poll takes many hours/days to compile - but a nice suggestion |
| Just keep up the good work ! |
Thanks |
| Carry on like you all do now!! |
Thanks |
| Fantastic service already - really appreciated! Any improvements would be icing on the
cake. |
Well we could a cherry on the top |
| More news on a regular basis |
It's been hard to keep the weekly schedule so far this year, and
the frequency will certainly not be increased. |
| Hopelijk houden jull= ie het prog & symfo genre in top
tussen alle andere commerci=EBle bul= lshit. |
That is *exactly* what we are here for! |
| No I am quite happy with the way it is right now |
Let us know if that changes |
| I want Ed Sander back!
(ok-occasionally then...) |
and so he will be (for occasional reviews etc) |
| More Contests To Win Premier Seats To Prog Band Gigs! |
Will this be open to the DPRP Team - please? |
| nothing actually, for cd reviews are always a bit of personal
taste. I don't care about that to much
(altough I don't always agree with the writers) for the reviews are
informative enough to me |
Covered above - thanks for the feedback |
| Not really, but since it's a dutch site0 it would be nice to
have a dutch version (like prog-nose) it's easier to read, though my english
is very good |
see above |
| -More Italian CD reviews
-More update on the Release page (include cd to come) |
OK |
| More input from readers. More old stuff. Prog band of the month.
Let readers say which is the best and why. |
Interesting |
| CD releasespage should be updated far more often. |
covered above |
| DPRP update list, soms krijg je 3 mailtjes per dag, is deze
info niet te bundelen. voor de rest niets dan lof voor jullie page. Ik hoop dat we een mooi en gezond 2003
krijgen bon de succes Wim van Lonkhuijsen |
A short translation: Wim says at times he receives three update
mails a day, if we can't bundle these updates. Oddly enough, for more than
two years we are trying not to send out more than one update mail a day. Only
at *very* rare occassions do we send out two, but never three!?! Perhaps you
receive our update mails on a business account and on Monday-morning you
receive the mails for the Friday-Saturday-Sunday updates? Otherwise, I can't
see how you can be receiving three update mails a day. |
| more concert reviews |
That was the biggest area of growth in 2002 |
| If possible more cd reviews,probably briefer. |
covered |
| You're doing a great job! Keep up the good work. |
Thanks |
| Maybe you will need more reviewers in the near future to
garantee your current quality level. |
We have taken more on - thanks |
| More and more frequent CD reviews; |
covered |
| More competitions ! Keep
on the good work ! Bertrand |
OK |
| yes please. the releases are not very updated. nothing called
nuovo metal was ever released. john petrucci has not yet released the solo
album. and we can't see all the upcoming cds. please pay more attention to
what is expected. |
Well this is the opportunity to tell us - no doubt we will talk
about this in the coming months. |
| CONGRATULATIONS! GO AHEAD |
CHEERS |
| No. You do an amazing job, love this site!! |
Many thanks |
| Free liquor and whores to all visitors!!! (Just kidding, don't
change a thing!) |
And what do we offer the Lady prog fans! |
| please broaden the reviews to the music/bands under subgenre
which is popular as RIO and/or Avant Progressive. |
Point taken |
| only one DPRP Update List advise per week . |
The majority of the subscribers of our update mailinglist is
happy with the current situation: no more than one update per day. Only a
very few times do we have more than one update mail per day, for example if
there is a breaking news item or if we screwed up ourselves. But we try to
streamline all our updates and have not more than one per day. Alternatively,
you can visit our website once a week and see all the updates we did on the
mainpage. |
| Keep up the great job! |
Thanks |
| I think "neo-prog" blows and there seems to be a
general taste for it on this site. |
define "neo"… and while you're at it, read Martin
Orford's post in The Vision Pit. |
| nope. think its great for prog starved fans 'down-under' |
G'day! Matey(s) |
| Only if you had the power,to send more bands to Denmark.I think
its one of the greatest site on the web. |
Thanks
- All prog bands, go to Denmark, please. I doubt it will work though. |
| Not much. I am very
pleased with the website. |
Cheers |
| you are doing a great job... thanks for that |
Thanks to you |
| Restart CD Delight. I thought it was a great way of presenting
CD's |
Covered above |
| Please recommend some good sources to obtain CDS in the
Netherlands. For instance, the Magenta "Revolutions" was hard to
find for me. |
Almost impossible to do that. In general we always recommend the
more or less independent chains, like Plato. They carry a good stock of prog.
Otherwise, there's always the good ol' Internet! |
| No, I think you all are doing a wonderfull job for us Prog-fans
and I do not have any complaints.
Greetings, Ruud Hegger |
Many thanks Ruud |
| cd reviews are to me the most important aspect, as it is one of
the few ways I can get to know about any of the great albums that are being
released. Your reviews are great, and
wihout wanting to put more pressure on, as I am sure it must take up a lot o |
I gather the bit that is missing was going to say something
about more reviews - see what we can do. |
| You're doing fine. Considering the amount of work everybody puts
into these pages I'd say: Hats off! |
Much appreciated |
| No - Excellent site for prog news - it's my premier source of
band information |
That's good news |
| Don't change anything : you're already the best progressive site
worldwide ,:-) |
Kind of you to say so |
| It is very very good!!!
Maybe some interviews with bands. |
Yes! |
| No... keep up the good work and it is good to see Counting Out
Time again! |
We think so too - more this year |
| My second favourite Website! |
and the first is? |
| No. I think it's very good as it is. My only suggestion wou= ld
be to put out more CD reviews. Keep up
the excellent work!! |
Thanks - topic covered |
| Continue the good work |
we will - thanks |
| Het zal flink wat ruimte innemen maar soms ben ik erg benieuwd
naar recensies van relatief oude cd's (niet jaren 70 hoor maar wel jaren 90).
Dit omdat ik zo'n typ ben die niet altijd direct een CD koopt en/of groepen
laat ontdek. Zo'n pagina zou wel aardi |
Interesting point, but highly unlikely. We have toyed with the
idea of including more backcatalogue reviews (like we did for Fish, Pendragon
or Radiohead) but seeing that it is already hard to cope with the current
stream of review material, this one might be a difficult one. We intend to
write more backcatalogue reviews though - somewhere in the future. |
| An increased amount of everything, especially articles would be
extremly nice. Also more competitions! In summary: more of everything
;-) Keep up the good work. |
Even
more? I hope you understand that for competitions we are completely dependent
on bands and labels. But 2001 and 2002 were pretty good for competitions, so
who knows. |
| Really, I have no idea at all! I don't think DPRP needs a real
improvements... but please, more new pieces of history (I mean Counting Out
Time) here! |
and so there shall be |
| more updates of the cd releases page, and list the releases
(also) in chronological order |
it's happening |
| It's quite good as it is. Just adding musician's pages if
possible (MIDI, TABS, Lyrics, Chords, ...). |
Not likely, sorry. There are however other excellent pages for
these. |
| Many informations are available on DPRP, I like to visit this
for my update. A new group born here in Quebec city ERE-G "Au-dela des
Ombres" on Ipso Facto rec. Ref: Harmonium, Gensis with a little italian
taste. Happy New Year Richard |
Thanks Richard |
| More frequent updates on the CD-Releases page. it's for me almost the only guide to new
releases. |
Noted |
| Overall I cannot but be very please with your website. It is by
far the best I've seen so far. Reviews
are good but sometime too long - I would realy like to see more concise down
to the point reviews. |
OK (well that was short) |
| More to read about the wonderful band Camel, please:-) |
Covered above - but we agree |
| CD reviews could be reviewed quicker, but that is a minor
criticism |
and shared by a few others |
| Nothing is wrong with the current system. Get Ed Sander back
would be nice. |
Thanks - nice thought |
| mp3 samples |
Maybe? |
| No not at all, don't change anything. It is good the way it is.
Keep going on with the good work.
Bravo!You do a great job! |
Many thanks |
| spruce up the artwork a little
format the text on the concert review pages to fit the width of the
screen |
Done |
| Nee, ik ben erg tevreden. Via jullie blijf ik op de hoogte, veel
beter dan in welk muziekblad ook. Een
gezond 2003!! |
A translation: No comments, very satisfied. Thanks to you guys I
stay updated. Much better than any music mag. A healthy 2003!!! -- Now that's
the type of feedback we like :-) |
| It probably becomes a bit cliché, but for me, more cd/dvd- and
concert reviews. |
Thanks - your opions are shared by many |
| More interviews! |
Soon |
| No, you're the best! |
Thanks |
| Reviews of back catalogue of important or classic bands. |
Good idea. We'll keep it in mind! |
| Just keep the same quality. It's excellent! |
OK |
| Restore the Artcorner section. |
Possibly |
| More Progressive metal reviews would be nice. |
Even more? |
| Still the best progressive rock page on the web. |
Thank you |
| Not really, no. I've been checking your site for nearly 3 years
now, and it's a great source of information. Hope you'll keep going! |
We will! |
| Discography in reviews |
Interesting point, yet unfeasable I'm afraid. We have over 1000
reviews by some 800 bands in the archive. To work out the discographies of
all these (and keep them up to date) would just be too much. |
| More pictures, visitor's trade-wanted and sell adds. MP3's I don't know, keep on doin' the good
thing.... |
Err…
thanks. As for ads on DPRP - no way, we pride ourselves for not having any
banners or other advertisement on the site, and we intend to keep it that
way. We are looking into the possibility of sponsored links on the new links
page on DPRP.net through. |
| Marks of the new links |
Now being done - but we have a better idea - look out soon |
| Quicker reviews of CD's |
covered |
| Hope you keep on this extraordinary work! And please continue with the
CDelight-Section! |
covered |
| Perhaps
to not mention that a CD is going to be reviewed in an upcoming review, then
have it take quite some time for it to show up. Otherwise, everything is great! NB When I was completing the form, I
inadvertently pressed return twice so I'm hoping |
Good point |
| More Fusion and jazz-rock news and reviews |
Nice |
| (Much)More news!!!!! (Much)More Cd reviews!!!!!! |
(Much)More hours in the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| No, go ahead with it.
The best Dutch progsite we have! |
Thanks |
