There is a thread on this site that has totally gone out of control slamming a prominent company I work with and it's owners, and it's really become a nuisance. Since I've been defending them and am already logged in, one of admins at Minoan Music asked if I could pass this on to you for deletion of the thread. It's all totally legit, no scamming, they represent major artists like Iggy Pop, and work with everyone from Atlantic Records to Paramount Pictures, and all of their info is online and below. Please consider deleted the thread, as it really lowers the credibility of your site with so many amateurs making immature comments, and frankly, it's pissing everyone off as they've had to explain to new clients what all this is about! Here is Katerina from Minoan Music:

Hi Tom. Our company Minoan Music has been around for over 10 years, and has built up a credible reputation across the board in all facets of the industry. This thread has moved into the absurd, and I would appreciate it if you would delete it. The guy who started the board was never a client. In fact, we spent a lot of extra time with him explaining details, and even offered him a discount for our work to help him out. We do that a lot for Indie artists that could use a hand. We sent him paperwork, he agreed that he wanted to do it and was excited, and then posted this thread. Unfortunately it does happen, but once immature amateurs get into the mix, it becomes a free for all, and it's inappropriate that something like this should be on public display worrying clients. We've never had a complaint, we work with Indies and Majors, and you can get a taste of our clientele and catalogue of music from these links:

Our owner Eric is a prominent musician and industry person, writing articles for publications such as Recording Magazine, and is a member of supergroup Electrons with Roger O'Donnell of The Cure, Warren Cuccurullo of Duran Duran, Steve Ferrone of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and multi-platinum producer Anthony Resta (Collective Soul, Blondie, Scissor Sisters, Perr Farrell, etc.). Unfortunately their camps have also been irritated by this thread, so everyone would appreciate it if you could kindly remove. I've added some more bits on them below. You can see some photos from a recent recording session as well:

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at krhodou@minoanmusic.com, and please let me know when the thread has been deleted so that I can let everyone know.
Thanks again, and have a great week.
Best regards,

ELECTRONS are:
STEVE FERRONE [composer, producer, drummer and percussionist]: Mick Jagger, George Harrison, Duran Duran, Aretha Franklin, Bee Gees, Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson, B52's and Average White Band are just some of the names on an endless list of musicians Ferrone has played with. Currently a member of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, he remains as one of the most in-demand, and talented, studio drummers in the world today.
WARREN CUCCURULLO [composer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and multi-instrumentalist]: Having first joined Frank Zappa's band at age 21, Cuccurullo is a musical prodigy. He is a founding member of the New Wave group Missing Persons, having written such classics as "Destination Unknown," "Walking In L.A,” and "Words.” Warren was also a member of Duran Duran for 15 years, performing and writing on several albums, and co-writing such hits as "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone.”
ANTHONY J. RESTA [composer, producer, songwriter, mixer, and multi-instrumentalist]: Situated in his Studio Bopnique Musique "musical laboratory", Resta is well-known for his outstanding ability in the art of producing and songwriting. Having worked magic with artists such as Collective Soul, Elton John, Duran Duran, Blondie, Sarah McLachlan, Guster, Megadeth, Extreme, and more, he is always cultivating both fresh talent and breathing new life
into established acts.
ROGER O'DONNELL [composer, producer, synthesist]: Having been born into a musical family, and best known for his stand-out contributions to legendary group The Cure, O'Donnell's unparalleled approach to Electronic composition and collaboration with artists such as David Hockney to The Psychedelic Furs has yielded an incredibly diverse and unique body of work. O'Donnell has managed to carve out a niche for himself within the Electronic and Classical genres, not only making waves at U.S. college radio, but also resulting in live orchestral performances of his work.
ERIC ALEXANDRAKIS [composer, vocalist, producer and multi-instrumentalist]: Classically trained since the age of 6, and discovered by Duran Duran's John Taylor, Alexandrakis is a successful composer whose original songs have been actively licensed to all forms of media. A pioneer in digital copyright protection [Alexandrakis produced the first digitally watermarked CD while in graduate school (technology developed by bluespike.com)], he is also an acclaimed Indie artist, entering the top 40 radio charts in the Adult Contemporary genre several times in his career.
