I know - and the saddest bit is that they are showing the "circuit diagram" for the nanotech online.
Which is you look at it is the wiring diagram for a guitar waa-waa pedal ... 
The stupid bit is that if we had that kind of tech (tracking devices that needed no recharge, were so cheap you could randomly implant them in anything, trackable from significant range) everything we own would be already tagged by insurance companies, supermarkets, and police forces; and crime would be solved almost before it happened ... Which kinda proves it's a load of bollocks, even if the laws of physics didn't!

I actually had to explain this to someone at work who isn't totally crazy, but susceptible to believe anything she sees on the internet/Facebook.
I told her we're a bunch of bunglers who can't even write decent software on a desktop computer, let alone on nano devices.
The constant internet connection and sheer amount of data such a device would generate would quickly crash the bugger and render it useless, let alone the automated updates (which obviously can't be delayed) 
Luckily, she's just as quick to believe me as the internet...
Although apparently it is possible, just not on such scale, but hospitals are already experimenting with it (I didn't tell her that though).
I've had to debunk some other crazy stuff as well.
She's recently cleared her cookies and now she doesn't get such nonsense on her timeline anymore

My new album was released today. TDIS "Bound To Be" Available at
Spotify, Amazon, Bandcamp[^]
and Apple Music, iTunes, Instagram/Facebook, TikTok/Resso, Google Play/YouTube (look for TOPIC: TDIS"), Soundtrack by Twitch, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, iHeartRadio, ClaroMusica, Saavn, Anghami, KKBox, NetEase, Tencent, Triller, MediaNet
EDIT: I removed the direct links to all but Bandcamp (since I know you can listen for free). I've always been under the impression that if you have a subscription to the other services, you don't have to pay extra beyond your monthly subscription. Not true?

I don't think this is the place to sell your song - if you were a "new account" the post would have been removed as SPAM.
It's one thing when you put it up as just an announcement - but you also gave where it could be purchased - really, I'll have to think a bit longer before (at least I) pull the SPAM trigger.

People: *Share something that they've put a lot of effort into and are proud of*
Other people: SPAM!!!!
I mean, the Bandcamp link is free as is a Spotify account.

Because a "new account" would have nothing else to offer, but their (self) promotion.
GenJerDan offered a bit more than that and now shares with us the fruits of his labor.
I can applaude his ventures into the ambient music space and wish him the best of luck with future endeavors and hope to see more of it right here on CP!

The AMAZON link isn't free - I clicked it first and don't say any logic for clicking all three if they (presumably) point to the same content.
Showing his efforts would be "bandcamp" . . . hawking his wares, as in SPAM, is Amazon.

I agree that the links to sell places should be removed.
Spotify wanted to force me to register, which I didn't
Amazon was giving only 30 sec pre-listen and the selling option
But the third one is letting me listen the full tracks just like that for free, (has the option for sell, but only an option) in my opinion that one could remain.

Well - I happened to click Amazon first - and based upon your post he should edit (and delete) the others: certainly the amazon link.

Thanks - I knew it was worth the wait rather than giving it the screw (not that I'm important enough around here to have much impact). Probably the excitement of the moment for you - which I can understand.
Now I'll click the bandcamp link and give a few a listen.
[EDIT]
So, I ran a few (working - can't be that thorough) and found them to reminiscent/suggestive of one my/Mrs Wife's favorite background albums (Latitude 40℃ North). Will come back to this when I can let a few run full length. Also, changing my thumbs-down now that it's been fixed.

Can't win. I said I had an app in the store ... I was told that without a link it was "B.S.".
I didn't post a link initially simply because I anticipated this "B.S.".

Well done.
I'm into Ambient music, more into heavy drones, so this is on the quiet side of it.
I'd rather be phishing!

Awesome!
I still have The Vineyard in my favorites on Bandcamp somewhere.
Back then it was your only release I think.
Going to listen to this more often, especially before going to sleep!

Also sharing this with a friend.
Keep up the great work
I'll have to compensate this with some furious black or death metal though

I've got a metal song percolating in the back of my mind, but...it hasn't boiled over yet.

What I have checked is nice. Thanks. I'll listen a bit more later.
I partially agree with Balboos though.
Spotify forces to register if you don't have an account yet.
Amazon only gives a 30 sec segment and then the sell link
I would say those two links should be removed.
The third one could stay in my opinion, they have the "buy track" option, but at least let you hear the full songs.

I'm not registered - which may be odd since my Son-in-law works out of their NYC Office.

You do a lot of name dropping. But no songs...

You do a lot of complaining - but no grounds to stand on.

That's not my kind of music, but congrats about the achievement !

Yes, true (in reference to that question about the meaning of "paid").
As I see it, if I go to the public library and take out a tape/cd/record of tunes that I already purchased at some point in time, then burn music off them, I am operating within my legal rights as a paid listener.
So, Lars baby, this is where we stand.

Wow, rough crowd. If you'd written a book on C# and shared, say, the Amazon link here, I doubt you would have been dinged like this.
I do have a Spotify account and like ambient music. I'd appreciate getting the direct link, by email if that will keep us from the wrath of other members here. I searched for "Bound to be" but can't seem to find your music - maybe it's region locked, so the direct link would help.
Cheers,
