About

WE REVIEW ONLY PHYSICAL RELEASES (CDs or LPs), and understand that this represents more of a financial commitment on the part of the artist/record label, but we put a great deal of time into listening to the music and writing the reviews.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND LINKS TO DIGITAL DOWNLOAD FILES FOR REVIEW, WE WILL NOT REVIEW THEM, AND WILL NOT REPLY TO YOUR E-MAIL FOR A REVIEW REQUEST.

If you would like to send a review or promotional copy of your music, please contact us at: wajobu [at] hotmail [dot] com with more information on your release and we will let you know if we’re able to prepare a review to meet your schedule.  If we write a solicited review, the artist/record label will have a chance to preview it for factual content and respond with comments before it is published here.  You can also contact at my Facebook page.

We enjoy sharing our thoughts on all sorts of music and like to learn about new music and artists.  Unless noted otherwise, music reviewed is unsolicited.  Recordings have been purchased by us through legal channels, to support artists (direct from record label, artist, retail or online shop), and if a review is solicited, and involves auditioning an advance or promotional copy of a recording, this will be noted.  We receive no financial compensation from artists or their PR representatives of any kind.  This is also an archive of our music reviews from various locations around the internets and related topics.  We have published reviews at HiFi Zine and the now defunct publication, Affordable Audio.

Listening Equipment: Manley Amps, Preamp, Phono Preamp, Garrard 401 w/ custom aluminum block plinth (wajobu design) with Thomas Schick Arm w/ Benz Ace S Cartridge, Bel Canto CD2 with onboard DAC and vintage 1978 ADS L-910 Studio Monitors.

Funding: We’re a self-funded operation, and we also pay an additional fee to keep commercial advertisements off our site (so our readers don’t have to deal with them and possible nefarious phishing links or viruses).  We receive no money from sponsors, equipment manufacturers or record labels.
