Ok first things first. A fellow musician said he would be working on music under a new project name. He claimed there were samples on the internet, but wouldn't release the name.instead he gave a time-consuming puzzle with the promise of an abundance of free tunes upon solving it.
His riddle: "I have a new instrumental endevor. As a bit of a riddle, here is an image." *insert random image that looks like it could mean anything* "If you know what that is, add a the word that describes the series: 1 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19... And google it."
This was just the beginning of the age-old "carrot on a stick" method of publicity. I tried for a few hours and couldn't solve the full puzzle, only part of it, or so I thought! I was fed up with trying to solve this garbage so I figured I'd wait a day or two and let some other sucker figure it out while I just reaped the rewards after the fact.
This musician TRIED to give the easy way out by saying we could ask for the answer, but deep down I knew it was another sick ploy, and I probably wouldn't gain the ultimate reward... Free tunes! Oh hell no, I was going to wait till someone else figured it out.
But wouldn't you guess, ANOTHER fellow musician made claims of grandeur about solving this intense riddle... AND DIDN'T SPILL THE BEANS! Instead he added more riddle, how lame!"I think I know the answer to this one... It's really obvious if you do some mild googling and look at the cover art for the Dark Sonus compilation." Also, notice how he put some condescension in his words! I tried again for a few minutes, then decided it wasn't worth it.
There was this nagging in my brain about the puzzle I couldn't put out of my head. D*NIT!
Well, another day went by and I stumbled across the answer. The riddle was actually pretty simple, but I read the original riddle wrong so I had no chance of getting it. I won't say what I thought because it would make me look like an idiot.
Back to the point. I located this site and... IT WAS SOME SORT OF RIDDLE! I was promised time and time again of endless tunes, and I get endless riddles instead!
Staring at the puzzle i saw the solution, but it wasn't the end! I had to decode this, delete that, copy here, paste here... AAAAAHHHH! Never in my life! Finally I received three tunes, ONLY THREE?! Wtf?! I wanted endless!
Biggest ripoff? Oh yeah! One song was available on the darksonus compilation 2! I already had one of them and i didn't even know it!
Endless riddles, and only two new tunes... That is such a RIP!
But the songs are really good, so I definitely recommend giving them a download and listen!
