Traditionally, the best aspects of Gramophone for me have been those lists
of new releases and all the advertising devoted to new releases; I am a
sucker for those ads. I have found the Gramophone reviews worthy enough
to read but providing less insight than in ARG or Fanfare.

I haven't either. I think this is a case where Gramophone reserves the
right to follow up a mini-review with a bigger one. Overall, I don't care
for the mini-reviews - they pretty much tell me nothing. Also, it does
give the impression that those recordings afforded a mini-review just
didn't rate the big-time.
