How it works

Track titles are only listed when 'Tron is used on one or two tracks (except when the album has been reviewed, when they aren't listed here at all). '[tracks not known]' is self-explanatory. Singles are only listed separately when they weren't included on the artist's current LP (e.g. 'Strawberry Fields Forever'). Compilations including the single may be listed in the 'notes' field, but it will have a separate entry (usually). However, I reserve the right to make the rules up as I go along.

• Highlighted album titles are completely verified. Allegedly.
• Unhighlighted album titles are unverified, but I've seen a direct reference somewhere
• Italicised album titles seem to be unverifiable (unless you know better...)

If you have any extra information, please mail me. Thanks!

Filing: I've made every effort to file artist names correctly, cross-language, although there are discrepancies. Any band name starting with the local equivalent of the definite or indefinite article (Il Balletto di Bronzo, I Dik Dik, Le Orme) will file under the first 'proper' word. I've ignored the occasional local rule for simplicity's sake; Apparently Änglagård should file at the end of the alphabet, as in Swedish, but I refuse to go that far in my attempts at authenticity. Talking of which, I've tried to use all the correct accents where relevant, including the ones outside the normal HTML rules; please let me know if you see anything with accents missing. Solo artists are, of course, filed under surname (did I really need to say that?).

REVIEWS. This is very much an ongoing project, so expect new entries every time I update the site. There will be a small yellow REVIEW note at the end of the entry - just click on this to jump directly to the review, or go to the REVIEWS page. Upon request, I've instigated entering the album's rating on this page, after the review note.

A brand new feature (for 2003) is some commentary on some of the bands I can't actually review yet, but know something about, indicated by a small yellow MORE... note after the artist name, rather than after specific albums. Some entries will have a symbol after the artist's name instead. Hold your mouse pointer over the symbol, and the 'alt' box will appear for a few seconds, containing information too brief to be worth mentioning on the MORE... page.

I used to have a section at the end of this page entitled 'Non-'Tron', including both cases of mistaken identity (studio 'Stairway to Heaven', Amon Düül II) and the modern Mellotronic scourge of 'Tron samples (too many to count). These two categories have now been separated, and can be found at Mistaken ID and Sampledelica. Reviews of some of these are at Mistaken ID reviews and Sampledelica reviews.

I've actually had a few requests for the reinstatement of the list additions page. Contents will stay until the next list update. Another new feature for 2003 is the genres annotation, although it's very incomplete and a little haphazard.

A quick couple of caveats before we proceed:

1. This is not, I repeat NOT a list of my own collection. I'm always willing to do trades, but please don't assume that just because the album is listed, I own, or have even heard a copy. If you're interested in trades, please mail me.

2. Some of the 'confirmed' entries have been 'confirmed' by someone else. Sometimes they get it wrong. Occasionally, so do I. As soon as any entry has been found not to contain 'Tron, it goes.
