Review:
I like this site. It is different in terms of typography and imagery, the flash animations are really nice and the overall feel is kind of lo-tech but with organic colors. The semantics could be improved in some places, list-item DIVs could be replaced with real list-items and some graphic text images could benefit from being converted to html. But in terms of design, CSS and web standards this site is quite unique and pleasing to browse.

The animation is great, but the transparency between boxes looks almost unrefined, with nothing to unite the different content areas. Also, the tabs on mouseOver are hard to read, perhaps white text on red would be more legible. But I love the section animations, gets a 6 from me.
The contact elephant is my new best friend.
I have been a fan of this site for some time. I love the color palette and whimsical style. Can't get enough of it. Great work
nice site, 1 prob i do have is with the 3rd level of navigation, ie. click on 'artists', then 'pluxus' where did the other artists go? i can't go from one aritst to another? y not keep artists where it is and introduce a new navigation?
Very nice colors but the tiny text is hard to read especially in Courier/typewriter font.
I agree the red rollover tabs are hard to read but also I don't like the color. A less saturated color would be better I think. The red looks nice as a rollover on the dark brown home tab though.
The header is very nice but I would not have used the flash animation (I don't know how to do it either). I don't think it adds alot to the site and it took over a minute to load with my dialup.
It's quirky and interesting and I generally like it. However, I found the font too small and difficult to read. I didn't have any trouble with the rollovers and the flash animation is excellent.
I don't know much anything about the record label's music so I don't know if the branding hits the mark or not.
The Flash animation is nice enough, but takes up a lot of the page and bandwidth for something that doesn't serve any purpose, and auto-starting music is infuriating, especially when I have my own music already playing. I noticed eventually that there was a 'sound off' link, cunningly using green text on an identical green background for much of the animation. Hmm - well, at least it doesn't loop.
Aside from my Flash gripes though, I found the website itself to be simple and attractive.
I love this look! Does this type of design have a name, by the way? The whole colour scheme and the shapes and fonts used have this retro feel about them, but I can't quite put my finger on what time period or what style.
Hey, we've improved the site a lot since this review was written, and listened to your comments. Please check out the site again!
ciao!
Martin, I actually can't remember what it looked like before you made the changes but currently it looks super nice. My website could use some of those animated mastheads.
Rock on!
