I was wondering how many people know of this great site? It seems it hasn't been updated since 2009. Does anyone know who runs the site? I love and hate the site, as It has tons of releases that I don't know about. And I want to have them all, well or at least most. Jeff(bigtikidude) |

Wow, he did a pretty thorough job at least in our case. Even has all the comps we were on, some I don't even remember being a part of. interesting indeed. |

Yeah, this is definitely one of the most comprehensive AND best instro references on the net. I use it all the time. Last mention of it here seemed to focus on the 2009 update/maintenance. —Insect Surfers |

That site is a godsend and I can't believe it exists. I'd help update it myself if I could — |

I'm just wondering who runs it, and why they stopped updating. Jeff(bigtikidude) |

ya think? "Instromania est un site d'information. Ce n'est pas un site de vente, n'a aucun but commercial et ne propose pas de musique en ligne." —Jeff(bigtikidude) |

It has been a great resource for many years, but I have not known of anyone who has been able to contact the author, and he hasn't shown any interest (that I know of) in any of the surf music mailing lists for SG101. Perhaps the language barrier is the problem here. Obviously he put a ton of research and love into that site. At one point we were going to have a wiki here at SG101, but he kind of made that unnecessary. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Since 2009, I sent several e-mails and didn't get any reply nor my suggestions added to the site. Before that I sent stuffs that did enter the site but the guy never answered tough. Monkey Ju |

His name is definitely Olivier Vincent. I did communicate with him off and on a while back, in 2008 and early 2009. I think he just wore out, or maybe other issues drown out this one with him at the moment. It happens. His English was better than my French. Last edited: Nov 01, 2012 16:23:47 |

Wow. How unfortunate. I suppose there is a chance he forgot to renew it and will rectify that in a few days. It is also a coincidence that I will be rolling out the SG101 wiki shortly. It will take years (?) to match the knowledge on instromania.net however. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

That's a HUGE loss, if it doesn't come back. I've used that resource many, MANY times.

I wonder if there's anything that can be done about this. Seems like it ought to be a permanent reference site, even if the author is no longer active. Last edited: Nov 13, 2012 14:52:19 |
