Fellow customers - there may be one tonight. I had a word to the Gods and decreed something must now be done, so... well, you never know.

Just thinking about ma.com, if and when LP5 comes out and an overhaul of the site occurs, I hope that the site will not be entirely Flash based as it is now. Flash looked cool 5/6 years ago but now I'm beginning to really dislike sites made entirely out of Flash - they lack usability, but I suppose usability isn't the main factor to the designers of the site, or most other official band/film sites - just the coolness factor.

It used to be shockwave originally... remember shockwave, that used to the coolest thing back then...
I'm not saying it's a model, but I sort of like the way the Martina site encourages a sort of community thing, with people able to set up their own profiles n shit

The site should be a lot more functional definitely... itd be kind of silly if ma.com were to be the LEAST informative and friendly of the MA sites...

looks really good.sound samples sound good too. Just keeps crashing on me in both IE and Firefox. Does anyone have the same problem? Also, I'm happy they're using social bookmarking links and an RSS new ticker and feed - same things as my own site.

The audio isn't THAT slick, it jerks a bit, not wishing to be overly a nitpick or anything...

Man, I cant wait now to get my site up now and into the internets!
Seems like a good job on the official site. Hopefully it will be more easily updateable by whoever the machine is. Just got the newsletter in the inbox to about the new site.

That thing with the phpBB database errors, I'm guessing that occurs when EMI's webspace runs out, just before they go get some more
