Cool site for instrumental and ambient music reviews and resources:
- The Instrumental Weekly was started in 1997 as a way to expose little-known artists in the contemporary instrumental and ambient music genres. The original site was doing well until late 1999, when a server crash caused the loss of over 200 reviews.
After a brief hiatus, the Instrumental Weekly returned in December of 2001, with a renewed focus on contemporary instrumental, ambient, and electronic-based music. Since its return, the Instrumental Weekly has quickly become a relied upon waypoint for reviews and resources for music fans across the globe.
Founded by yours truly, James “JimmyD” Dlugosinski (doo-go-sin-ski), the Instrumental Weekly continues to grow almost daily. And with your support, it is my hope that this site becomes one you visit often, and hopefully contribute to.
The Instrumental Weekly is also proud to announce the addition of second reviewer into the ranks…TJ Norris of Portland, Oregon will be contributing reviews on a variety of electronic and ambient music. I really think you’ll enjoy TJ’s writing style, and I’m very excited to have him on board.
