2003 - An updated About Us
After a gap of something like 18 months here we are again.
This site originally began in the autumn/fall of 2001 as a
side project for members of a group called Powerpop!!
on the Audio Galaxy MP3 music download service.
We were/are a group of likeminded fans who in addition to
discussing our favourites and recommendations with each other,
extended this passion for the benefit of anyone else who might
care to listen via this web site.
Although contributions died off at the same time as the old
Audio Galaxy site itself voluntarily changed out of all recognition,
both of us have been through changes and are still around
in one form or another today.
