sonomu is motion's latest incarnation. I was weirded out when they asked me to login to read record reviews, but then I delved further: user reviews, comments on reviews...hey, maybe, finally, a web-based weird music community. Probably not - mailing lists are just easier places to have stupid arguments about albums - but if it takes off, imagine: new album comes out, you wait a week, then skim the community consensus on the latest batch of DSP fuckery and make your decision. The registration aspect is make-or-break, but I'm not sure which: either it'll drive too many people away, or it'll be essential in keeping the signal to noise ratio high. But why not let everyone read, and only registered members post?
