Today I recieved this in my private messenger. Did anyone recieve this as well?

Hi there,

 

Thought you might be interested in the album CERULEAN BLUE by Rain:

 “A compelling freshness and originality and a fantastic voice.
The best thing I’ve heard for years.”
PHIL COLLINS

“I love this album – I’ve never heard anything like it.”
TONY SMITH
(Manager – Genesis/Phil Collins)

There's a great extended musical "quote" from Watcher of the Skies on track 5 and lyrics references to Supper's Ready on track 6.

Samples and online ordering at www.telosmusic.net

Thanks

Tom

 

P.S....I am sending one to everyone except Tuxon because he's not important enough.

None for me (so far) but that's not great guys. You didn't even get spamed about something good.

I deleted mine right away, as I do with thrash mail in my mailbox.

Thanks for the warning Sigod.

It's actually the name of a Bruford/levin track on the Upper Extremities album.  I can image Bill and Tony in floppy trousers and bolero jackets.

 

I downloaded it and I think it's pretty good. The vocals are a bit Bono-ish. Themusic, ambient and smooth.

The spamming is a bad idea though.

Don't know why the guy just didn't put the advert in the Announcements forum, which is intended for such things and would not have annoyed people.

Also received it, and it even mentions Phil Collins as if his recomendation was valid for me

I wouldn't ever buy any item product of spamming, don't care how good it is, the simple act of giving me unrequested propaganda is enough to disqualify it.

Peace.

I got this PM also. This guy is probably a loser who just wants to sell a few CDs. What a weirdo. I hope an admin deletes his @$$.
