I too hope the list does not die out- I find Facebook annoying and painful to use. I lament the end of roxyrama! Does anyone have any news on the release of the 5.1 albums? It's been a very frustrating wait especially as the first albums mix was finished some time ago apparently. In the meantime I've been archiving my live recordings- into flax format, so if anyone is interested in doing some trading let me know.
