This may be the end (hopefully not there was a miracle last minute save last time--sadly this one feels to be final), but Gideon has created something that truly lived up to it's name: "Artist Server" this site more than any before it or any since it's inception has never failed to keep the Artist first. It never has bent to commercialism or to exploit the artist here.... it has only "served" them in every way--both in internet distribution and ability to serve has a media focal point for said Artists. Consequently, there has been a gathering here over the decade plus life of this site of some of the finest "true" talent in music today. I have been honored to be a part of this gathering. Wintermut3 would not be what it is today without this community that Gideon built. Gideon built something that was an initial creative rival to mp3.com when that site has decayed into greed and corruption by "the industry" and this site has long outlived the death of mp3.com--sure mp3.com is still there now, but only in name. Again no matter the hardship, this site never gave into that corruption. So thank you Gideon and family for giving a great and respectable place for Wintermut3 to grow, I was and still glad to call this site the "Flagship" of Wintermut3 music... it's home....
