Data consistency

I'm still playing with data and metadata - I like using last.fm ever since I discovered they knew nothing about the rock album I brought back from Greenland with me. So I've inserted the needed data into the musicbrainz database a few weeks ago, and as the band is knew I tend to listen to it's tunes a bit more than the other artists I usually listen to.
So my funny founding of the day are :
* search for "Unnuaq Band" in music or group - and no result pop up.
* there is a page for the artist which contains a picture and a bio of the band.
* the page contains a 'Top Albums' item, If you look in the album tab of that group it's empty.

I find it very funny that last.fm knows about the band - but searches fails. One album seems to be known but not completely. I think last.fm did not synch with musicbrainz yet. Or that the data I've added to musicbrainz is not available to last.fm, anyhow I find it funny that the data shown is not consitant at all from one page to another.
