If so, then stop stealing it from its rightful place in the Nordic countries

thanks :)

I was partly waiting and hoping to hear from him, to understand better what situation he’s thinking about.

hawke_, I'd think symphonick's worried about things like cadenzas (in classical). Or maybe things that are huge solo-fests, but aren't credited that way (like, I dunno, jazz or a Joe Satriani album).

I don’t really see those as something to worry about.

If the soloist is known, it’s OK to record that fact.

often there is no need to just because there is only one of any given instrument

but other than that…

I dunno, if MB were only about capturing what’s specifically credited on a release I could see that.

But as I understand it, it’s only that the liner notes and such are usually the only evidence we have.

(playing devil's advocate) saying something is a "solo" is kind of like determining genre. Is a twenty minute noodle-a-thon a "solo"?
2011-11-09 31300, 2011
hawke_
yes. :-)

is a caprice a solo?

reosarevok is starting to feel this is like rap vocals

I have no idea.

(that are only credited as "rap vocals" in things where you'd not usually expect to find rap vocals, and uncredited in the normal places, so you'd have to be like "is this rapping, or singing, or half rapping, or half singing"?

bah, rap too

CallerNo6: After reading the WP article: probably not, unless I misunderstand

solo doesn’t necessarily mean free-form or improvised.
2011-11-09 31333, 2011
nikki wants to credit stuff in the liner properly ;_;
2011-11-09 31348, 2011
hawke_
but it might have a solo part, certainly.

nikki, go ask for free form vocal fields :p

It’s strange that MB seems to have more credit info than discogs does, given that

hawke_, I guess what I meant was, there are short single-instrument "caprices" that are probably the equivalent of a "solo", but making that determination seems more "cultural" than "factual". And /that/ is what I suspect symphonick was talking about.

I take it they’re part of a larger work?

Useage has shifted. Sometimes they're just short technique-driven pieces meant to wow the audience.
