hia, i'm trying to add the missing albums for an artist called "Crashing Atlas" (link: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/447b34ab-d639-4242… ), but i just wanted to check since i'm new to music brainz: if an artist releases a single track (outside of an album), is that both a release group AND a release, or just a release?

HewloThere: there is no such thing as a release with no enclosing release group. there *is* a such thing as a "standalone recording" which is a recording without a release. however in most cases, if an artist is releasing a single track outside of an album, it's just a release/release group with type "single"

Sorry guys but I need a little bit of consulting. I'm trying to insert this release (https://www.discogs.com/release/3422358) by Florian Fricke. It is already present in the DB here: https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/7d31c330-37…, but it is credited to Popol Vuh only and not also to Fricke (this is actually a complete solo album by him published as a Popol Vuh product for obvious reasons). I
2021-01-24 02409, 2021

was going to insert a new release (the original German one) but I'm struggling on how to tag track artists. Release artist should be "Popol Vuh / Florian Fricke" as on the CD cover, right? But what about track artists? Is this considered a classical release and therefore should I put Mozart as a track artist and Fricke as a recording artist? Should I put Popol Vuh as recording artist too?
My confusion is also due to if this is considered or not as a classical release, since Fricke is not strictly a classical artist
2021-01-24 02448, 2021
reosarevok
I would consider it classical since it's shown as very classicalish in the cover and whatnot
2021-01-24 02405, 2021
samovar
'Modern Classical'?
2021-01-24 02434, 2021
reosarevok
Looking at what we have, I'd be tempted to change the artist on that one to "Mozart; Popol Vuh, Florian Fricke" or even to "Mozart; Popol Vuh Florian Fricke" where "Popol Vuh Florian Fricke" only links to the "Florian Fricke" artist
Plus the original release and the late recording are title as Spielt Mozart, so the release group title should be changed too, right?

Because Picard never seemed to be writing many genre tags.

if you have checked "only use my genres" this would trigger the authentication. but it also means you only get any genres if you have tagged the releases with genres yourself on musicbrainz.org
<lorenzuru "As I mentioned in following reco"> Should the release corresponding to this reprint be credited to "Mozart; Florian Fricke" or to the one you picked?

I dunno. Credits are less important than relationships IMO, pick whatever seems best
