[edit] Link to "Echoes" interviews

I am restoring the link to the free "Echoes" interview page. This is an important reliable third party resource by one of the leading ambient music radio shows on US public radio, and it provides insights on the subject of this article that are, to my knowledge, not available anywhere else. --Gene_poole 21:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

When the host of the show, Jdiliberto, mass adds links, it is WP:SPAM and WP:COI) IrishGuy ^talk 21:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm adding them, and I'm not the host. If you can find an alternative series of interviews from an alternative free, reliable third party source, then please add them. --Gene_poole 21:52, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

(to Irish Guy) Not necessarily. WP:BITE and WP:AGF are also important guidelines, perhaps even more important than either WP:SPAM or WP:COI. Are the links relevant for the articles? If the links were added by any other user, would there be a problem? And besides, five links hardly constitute "mass" adding links. Each of the links was to different content that was pertinent to article. older ≠ wiser 21:53, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pioneer

I'm curious as to why Roach is described as a "pioneer" of ambient music. Is there a purely American context for the claim? If so, then the claim needs to be written as such. If not, then such references are POV and not founded in fact, as releasing a debut album in 1979 obviously proves. Yankoz
