Special Announcement

Music on the Web (UK), one of the largest Internet Music Resources and a major CD review site for Classical and Film music has recorded 1.2 million page hits from 58,000 visitors during February. A reciprocal agreement has been made between International Record Review and the site to exchange at least one review each month.

Music on the Web (UK) is owned by Webmaster, Len Mullenger. There are two main editors: Rob Barnett for the Classical Music reviews and Ian Lace who edits the very successful and Yahoo preferred Film Music on the Web. Both sites provide news, in-depth articles, composer profiles, book and video reviews. 175-200 CDs are reviewed each month by some 30 regular reviewers and the site is produced with the help of over 90 contributors. Classical CD reviews are posted around the middle of the month and Film Music CD reviews at the end of the month. A shared daily review section, 'Today's Review' highlights one major CD release from either the Classical or Film Music sectors, or an occasional book or concert review.
