sounds interesting tom,
I only recently got into audiogalaxy and think it's brilliant. especially
the option to become a member of groups who have similar tastes. I found
tracks there which I couldn't find in recordstores or anywhere online,
especially a lot of old funk/soul/jazz tunes. I'm part of the gpww group who
sends out the whole gilles peterons radio 1 show to all mebers.
nick on audiogalaxy: Noodles_at_work
I saw a couple of (ex)aj-listees there I think:
pooley, alexees, tahira, anymore??
cheers,
Jeroen
