No, it’s intentionally not track-level performing credits. For an example of track-level performing credits from the same label, see
VICL-60905
: https://vgmdb.net/db/covers.php?do=view&cover=55654

It’s extremely common in anime soundtracks that each track has a different mix of live instruments (anywhere from 0% to 100%) and programmed/synthesized instruments, and so release-level performing credits should not be attached to MB Recordings by default.

Also, this booklet explicitly excludes the short tracks 4 and 10 from any recording and mixing engineer credits at all. Presumably, these tracks have no live instruments either, since live instruments require a recording and mixing engineer.

I had a quick look at the Cowboy Bebop edits but TBH I saw a lack of good edit notes/sources from @Pianca82, as well as on the removals by @TheFanCon, and I didn’t have time to check scans on ~11 releases… so I had to move on. Edit notes please, if you want support from other editors on your edits :slight_smile:

I’m having the same issue/question as Requests for Votes Thread - #1145 by ernstlx & posted this in the Discord aswell to have a few voters/editors their attention.

Amon Tobin has a track called “Untitled” on a few releases called “Verbal & Collaborations”. This track has a title on all the cover art it appears on with it’s name “Untitled”. The work also has registered ISWC’s.
The recording is Recording “Untitled” by Amon Tobin & Kid Koala - MusicBrainz and the work is Work “Untitled” - MusicBrainz

In the edit Edit #129517896 - MusicBrainz I’m changing this to “Untitled” instead of the special purpose track title, because that’s the name on the release & it seems clear it’s Mr. Tobin’s intent to call this track “Untitled”. Unfortunately I can’t confirm this officially :stuck_out_tongue:

An older set of edits (like Edit #32198114 - MusicBrainz ) was voted down by the same voter, with the note that the special purpose track title is correct since they think it’s not artist intent, while ignoring this track is called “Untitled” in 5+ different releases of this album, being registered by that name at CISAC ánd the article mentions the track should nog have a title on the coverart.

It’s not my intention to “be right on this” and get Yes votes. But if my thoughts are wrong on this, I’d love to hear this from more editors/voters and will change all “Untitled” tracks, recordings and works by Amon Tobin to “[untitled]” to be consistent.

Thanks for your attention!

Could use some eyes on these two as the voter has stopped responding and they close in 2 days:

Could I get some votes on these please? <3

I thought I could be cool adding my username to the search but I did it wrong somehow :frowning:

Thank you :heart_hands:

Hello

I (heavily) modified this release to correspond to other MB releases and the metadata of the files.
https://musicbrainz.org/release/35f0cb95-1dad-4564-84bb-84db7f70b336/open_edits
I am also skeptical with the label Platypus, I can’t find where it’s coming from.

Thanks

If you go to Stellaris: Complete Soundtrack on Steam it says toward the bottom “Label: Platypus Records”. Earlier on the page it also says “Developer: Paradox Development Studio”, and “Publisher: Paradox Interactive”.

When is “use lower case” artist intent and when is it not?

https://musicbrainz.org/edit/129851503

This band make a point of not just using lower case on the album cover and track list, but also on Bandcamp, and seems to be a clear choice. I see Asian bands often using specific styling, does this also apply to UK artists? I thought it did?

This record company / label group merge could use some more opinions:
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/129818451

The key point is that it’s normally not considered a release label. It was legally an “Inc.” before 2014, and became a “division” after. All staff are the same, all imprints are the same, all artist rosters are the same.

As noted in my first reply, we don’t automatically create new MB Labels for new legal entities in Musicbrainz.

As noted in my second reply, you can see how there are 8 divisions in 2014 with the exact same names as the 8 companies that existed in 2013 (with the dropping of “(株)” which is the Japanese shortcut for “Inc.”)

I’d appreciate help getting this track listing update accepted: Edit #130007877 - MusicBrainz

It completes the previously-incomplete listing after having found and added cover art, and I’d like to add composing credits to some of the new tracks.

Thinking this might need additional evaluation

Should “SQUARE ENIX MUSIC” be used for that particular collection?

I voted no on these two points as I mentioned in my reply:

・Differences between company and division

・Sony Music Records Inc. changed its name to Sony Music Labels Inc. and if you want to merge, you should merge there I voted against the merge, but the reply from the editor stopped. I would appreciate it if you could check the discussion again, and vote or re-vote.

Merges: Edit #130152944 - MusicBrainz | Edit #130074248 - MusicBrainz

Open Edits for Asthénie - MusicBrainz - renamed artist, would be nice to have this go through so I can fix their newer album being attributed to the wrong artist.

Are pre-release singles available on all streaming sites promotional? Pretty much every KPop EP and Album does this.

I merged these groups together but now I’m not sure as the albums were re-recorded, could use some eyes on them.

I think Taylor Swift is a place to look. She re-recorded her albums and they are all separate RGs.
