Post by fakeconcern » Thu Mar 05, 2015 8:04 pm

Found this for sale on Amazon.

Hear it on Youtube

Is it compulsory to play it in my XM? If so my XM's for sale now!

Well I like it! Then again I regularly listen to Jean Michel Jarre.

Only if you drive with you head out the window licking the wind Labrador styley.

What utter drivel, the composing is fine, not my cup of tea but "and a car that reminds a woman of her first love"?? And the second half is influenced by hydraulic rams and nitrogen gas? Influenced by not having a career and being handed wedges of cash more like.

This I believe was available to buy in a presentation box as a cassette format only around launch time was it not? Is that the music I'm thinking of.

According to http://www.highway-music.com/hwm-author.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (in german) it was commissioned by Citroen for the 1989 launch of the XM. It was apparently released on CD in 2007.

No. That was just a crappy narration presentation of the XM. I got two of these cassettes with new XM's.
