I find this quite disappointing - the music is amazing and it should be getting out there Confused. Let's hope sales pick up!


I really do as well. This is great stuff... hopefully the PA community will notice all the praising reviews coming out and shell out a few bucks towards the album. Wink

Hey Colin, Marty is reporting back. Here's the review. Lovely album:

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Yes !! Listened to the track, I like it !!!

I forwarded the information on the French Tubular Mailing List (it's the mailing list of french Mike Oldfield's fans). I think you'll have some visits on your website next days Wink

Your post is of the kind that makes me very glad that I am still making music, I think it is true to say that it is not that different from the Isle of eight in style, if you want to hear a track as a taster you can follow this link,
http://www.myspace.com/colinmasson
The track entitled "Tilting at Windmills" is the second one on the album,
If you would like to buy the album, it is available here, as either a CD or a download
http://www.colinmasson.co.uk
Also if you have not looked before, this is a link to the band I play in,
http://www.themorrigan.co.uk
thanks again, also if you keep an eye on the first link, I will be putting up some freebies related to computer games that I have done, (as they are already in the public domain).
Many thanks again.

Hi everybody,

I'm new on this forum. I live in France and i'm 43 years old.

I bought the Isle of Eight album in 2002. Not easy to find in France, I had to wait 3 week till it arrived at home !!

It's a great album !! One of my ten favorites albums, just after the best Mike Oldfield's albums !

Very happy to know that you did a new one. Is it the same style than Isle of Eight ?

I think I'll buy it soon

I am listening to my copy now. I hope to have a review up soon.......... but due to my new job and retraining (from a camel to a jumbo jet pilot), I am having problems finding time.

A good start. It's a bit flattering to see my review on the front page Big smile. I didn't know you also did music for video games, I'll have to check them out!
