I don't know what anyone else thinks, but I would be wary of using microsoft icons. Here is why. http://www.microsoft.com/permission/copyrgt/cop-img.htm It certainly doesn't bother me I just don't want to see their vultures come after you. >> Stay informed about: Site Check please: Damaged Breaks

Be worth checking it through validator.w3 though just to make sure (I was looking at the front page) Aesthetically speaking I really don't like it The generic wind filter in photoshop The cheesy use of the wind filter as a mouse over (just annoys me) Colours are nice but need to be broken up more Too much white space IMHO, it just floats Discography page is broken and usabilty wise awful The icons on 'interact' are not in keeping with the rest of the site I was going to show you a website I did for a record label, but they've gone and butchered it LOL My biggest gripe is the colour and the amount of white space. It floats in an entire see of white space but the content is actually very cramped.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Site Check please: Damaged Breaks
