March 2004 - We've moved. Yay for us. Actually, it was more forced than by choice due to the unreliability, slowness and general crappiness of geocities who already nearly lost the site once, then it was always down again, then I couldn't view my own site (or any other geocities site) so that was the final straw really. So here we are. Maybe one day we'll find a real home of our own. In the meantime, the site wanders from one web host provider to the next, looking for a place to settle, sometimes sticking around for a while only to end up moving on again. *sings theme music to Littlest Hobo*

Ahem... OK so not much to add, have combined some pages for ease of loading, also altered the layout yet again. Am going for the more minimal look and aiming to look somehow organic and industrial at the same time, inspired perhaps by Imminent Starvation's album artwork and Iszoloscope's official website (incidentally, both with artwork done by the same person)... All the Electric Metal artwork is my own creation however. I didn't steal nothing. :-)

Have pulled the music reviews section. This is probably temporary until I get it sorted out properly. Or it could be permanant, I don't really know. Also have got rid of the new music page, with most of the bands on there now moved to the artist page. Made more sense that way methinks. Also dropped the other music (i.e. non industrial, electronic, etc). Sorry, but it had to be done. I just had too many pages to maintain and they didn't fit with the rest of the site. The artists themselves now generally don't have pages. I've put their profiles on the artists page instead. That way if I ever have to move the site again, it won't be such a goddamned pain in the arse to do it.

By the way this should have all happened months ago. But a lot of factors prevented the big move, including total hard drive failure of the only computer in my vicinity with internet access. Plus other distractions. I still love my little website, honest.
