CyberNoise Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's this site all about?

A. It's a web site for music fans, collectors and/or musicians themselves. In our databases we archive all sorts of information about the musicians, the music, music releases and live performances from digital pop to obscure unreleased acetates. This particular web site is dedicated to all styles of electronic music. We have dedicated information pages if you are:

• a music listener
• a music fan
• a music/record collector
• an artist/band
• an individual involved in the music industry
• involved with a record label
• involved in PR
• involved with a record shop/store
• a record fair organiser/seller
• involved with a live music venue
• involved with a music festival

Why should I use this site?

A. If you're a music fan you'll be able to look up your favourite artists and find out what they've released, what they're releasing in the future (all with links to legally purchase the music digitally and on physical formats), what videos they've produced, where they've played live with setlists and where they are going to play live in the future with links to buy tickets. If you're a collector you'll be able to dig down into individual releases and obtain information on rare and obscure items like limited editions, promos, mispressings, foreign releases, etc. If you are an artist or part of a band you'll be able to put up biographical information for your fans and provide them with information on your music, releases, gigs and link to your official presences on the internet such as a web site, social networks (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) along with contact details if desired. If you work or are a business in the music industry you'll be able to create a bio and provide us with company information and/or services offered.

Why develop this web site?

A. We developed this web site because there is no other site on the internet that does everything that we do. There are sites that do parts of it, but we don't think as well as ours as we bring everything together in one place. We will continue to innovate and improve all the time so please do keep checking back to see how we're progressing. It doesn't matter whether you are simply a fan of one artist, a whole style of music, a rabid collector or the artist yourself - we offer something for everyone. We have developed this site as part of a larger network known as the World Wide Release DataBase (WWRDB).

There's a lot of music/information missing. Why is that?

A. We have only just launched and we're filling our databases as fast as we can. We want the information to be accurate so we're not going to just scrape other web sites (that's usually not legal so we don't do it) or copy dubious information from Wikipedia. We want this site to be as accurate as possible so we will try to ensure that the information going on it is accurate. We'll also be working directly with artists and record labels to enhance the quality of the information.

Can I contribute missing information/help out?

A. Yes. If you notice that some information on the site is incorrect contact us and, where possible, please include a link to the page where the information is missing from (there's usually a "Link to this page" URL at the bottom of each page). If you want to add something new to the site see the "What can I add/upload to the site?" question/answer below.
