Sub Optimal Credits

The intent of this page is to keep track of releases and tracks and artists which are AR'ed in a non-optimal way (ie. with less information than what is available or with presumed information). If an instrument is listed repeatedly below, please do not hesitate to add it to InstrumentAdditionDiscussion!

Per artist

• Bjørslev, Henrik & Sunesen, Jakob
  • Beyond Boundaries
    • Tracks 1-5, 9, 10, 12-16, and 18 should have "transverse flute" replaced by "Wooden flute" (I'm fairly convinced that it's a transverse wooden flute though... -- FrederikSOlesen 13:45, 13 May 2007 (UTC))
    • Track 6 has a "Boehm flute" for the "transverse flute". (Use Google.)
    • The "harpsichord" credited throughout is actually a "spinet".

    • Ciaran MacGillivray's "Strat" is credited as "electric guitar"

• Croft no. Five
  • Attention All Personnel
    • Somhairle MacDonald and Paul Jennings should be credited with "samples", not "sampler".

    • Ellery Klein sings "bkg" vocals, translated to background in current AR.
    • Ryan Lacey plays straight out "percussion", not arbitrarily "percussion instruments".

• Islanders, The
  • On the Rocks
    • All tracks are attributed to "Trad.". This needs to be researched, as they seem to have been 'large' in using that term. (The first track has lyrics by Robert Burns, for example.)
    • Sleeve design by Lars Rud Fyhn.

• • Day is Dawning
    • Track 4 has Niklas Roswall on "moraharpa", not nyckelharpa.

• Trabjerg, Anders
  • Boxed
    • Anders Trabjerg plays a "melodion" (credited as "diatonic accordion"), a "button accordion" (should probably be credited as a diatonic accordion), and a "continental accordion" (credited as and is probably 'just' a button accordion).
    • "design/illustration by" Filippa von Essen should be "Cover Design"
