oh my, did not know of this

I see quite a few people got Dramedy forwards, but no Epic percussion forwards.

Thank you for this, nice to see what is going on. Makes things more transparent

Oh, forgot to mention that the forwards page doesn't show dispatch forwards....

Yes its also a day behind (sometimes 2 or more over weekends). The only thing some of us wish is that the songs that are marked "public", should be links to the artist page ...and the private ones would stay black. This way we would get to hear some more of public forwards too. The way it is now, we need to wait for kind forumeers to post their forwards. Also TAXI doesn't seem to have a way to search for artist pages other than trying a blind taxi.com/artistname guess. Worked a couple times lol

Vagueness like this is why we need some basic musical training or at a minimum a standard vocabulary for the screeners to work with. Does "top line tones" mean a more prevalent melodic motif, or is the screener referring to the type or timbre of the lead patches themselves?

Does "sonically cohesive" refer to a mixing situation with overlapping frequencies, or is it an ask for melodic or pattern movement from a bass patch?

I actually emailed the head screener on this listing. NOT asking for a forward, but asking for a better understanding of my feedback, whether or not the A La or the listing text is more important, and whether or not the screener listened to the A La's. (some have admitted to not listening to A La's if they know the artist or genre). RED FLAG for me.

I hope to hear back, good feedback is so helpful. Vague feedback makes me want to stop submitting.

Whoah, that would explain a TON a feedback issues I've had. If this is true it's a huge deal. Do you know where they stated this?

I got four forwards for this listing. I don't remember if I posted them in the forwards section, but here they are in case anyone wants to hear what the screener was looking for.

And, David. I'm fairly certain I've posted Dispatch forwards in the forwards section. Did I misread, or are you saying those posts get deleted.

"An Eerie Uneasiness" is on my TAXI page:

No, what I meant is Dispatch forwards aren't listed on the blog here: http://ht.ly/YgYI30073xb

Ah, Ok, thanks for clarifying David.
Didn't know that blog existed.

But why wouldn't they post Dispatch forwards? It would seem to me that TAXI members who don't have Dispatch would be more inclined to get it if they saw forwards for listings they missed out on.

But my main gripe with Dispatch — why don't they have a "Submit to this listing" link on them, like regular listings do. I've called TAXI three times, and all I've gotten as a response is "I don't know, I'll look into it."
Dispatch is something we pay extra for. Put a friggin' link on it.
