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.

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

Many thanks to Marty McFly and J-Man for the great reviews.  Unfortunately for anyone else who wants to review it now, it'll have to be downloads only.  So far I have sent more CD's for review than I have actually sold!  In the short term I won't be available, as I have said, I'll be in Greece for about a week.  After that I shall be able to correspond again.  Many thanks to everybody involved.

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

Thanks guys. I was on the Four Star bandwagon to begin with, but the thing kept growing on me.

Cheers for the feedback!

Just to say I'm back from Greece, and I've got a nice little pile of orders as well as some interest from a couple of wholesalers. So it certainly looks like the reviews have done their bit. Cathy and me are now thinking of doing a duo album, which is already halfway there as we have accumulated quite a few tracks over the years.
Also (Strikes while the iron is hot), about 18 months ago we did a collaboration with Max Hunt, the keyboard player for Fragile, and Tantalus, under the name of Artorius. The project, which is Max,s idea first and foremost, is a kind of potted history of the life of Arthur the King of the Britons. (We have no plans however to do it on ice.Embarrassed)  At the time we were all too busy to give the album the time it deserved, (Particularily Max who has been touring pretty well non stop for the last year), so it pretty well sank without a trace, but it had some interesting stuff on it so you might like to give it a listen.
Anyway A really big thanks to all of you for the attention and kind words, makin music is not always that easy, but I am now all fired up to do some more. If I can find Archie (The Morrigan's drummer ) who can be a bit elusive, there might even be another Morrigan album before we all fall over!Stern Smile

Colin - this is great news - your albums are on the top of my list of albums to pick up once I've caught up on some of 2010's releases. I'm glad to hear that there's the possibility of quite a bit on the horizon! Big smile

Hi guys, I.ve had a busy month thanks to your help, and things are going much better on the abum front, I,m also expecting reviews to come in from other sources fairly soon.
I've updated my website, to include excerpts from all your reviews, plus quite a bit more, there is also the music from the Oblivion game plus a couple of videos that you might be interested in.
Smile
