Peter the Lighthouse Keeper (Personal Home Page) Home page of Exposé: "Exploring The Boundaries of Rock" Exposé is America's premier quarterly publication specializing in the music the record and radio industries stubbornly choose to ignore. The focus is outside the mainstream, in the progressive and experimental hinterlands... Its philosophical approach to music is critical....Exposé is not a fanzine; both the readers and the artists covered are better served by an honest assessment of the progressive underground. With over a thousand releases coming out of this scene each year, it's important to have a tool to help sort out the good from the great, and the mediocre from the poor, and Exposé strives to be that tool. |

Styles and musical qualities:
Heavy Metal, New Age |
| Musical styles or qualities that I do not like:
Rap, hip-hop, trip-hop, shit-hop, or any of that related modern urban bullshit. Any overtly commercial rock/pop. Disco, most Techno, or any music with a steady triggered beat for dancing. Posers (includes most Metal-related/Goth-related Genres). Wannabes (includes most Neo-Progressive). Most Alternative Rock (especially the stuff with whiny loser vocals). Generally (with rare exceptions) don't like any music that uses drum machines or programs where real drums and percussion would be more appropriate. Also don't like synth tones that attempt to cheezily emulate real instruments. Fluffy New Age crap. Country music with twangy heartbreak singing (instrumental country is OK, though). |
