This guy was absolutely brilliant -- as a prog rock musician, and as a film score composer. Probably his most known works were the soundtracks to Chariots Of Fire, and Blanderunner. He was also one of the founders of fairly well...
Saturday will be legendary hockey broadcaster Bob Coles final broadcast; a career that has spanned about 50 years.
Let me preface this with the obligatory -- he should have retired ~15 years ago. My honest opinion is that it's more like 10 years ago but let's not nitpick here. To me at least...
...but didn't necessarily like when you first heard it.
I'll start...
For years I just couldn't get into this one (20+ minutes might have been one reason); however, years later, I just love this piece. It doesn't feature the classic Metheny solos/improv/melodies, but it's really evocative...
Absolutely amazing how they managed to get that HUGE sound on just 16 tracks. If there's a seven wonders of the recording world, this tune should make the list, easily.

Some of you might remember a fire that happened in our building a couple of years ago caused by the contractor? Well, now one of the owners of our complex is suing the strata council (which I was part of) for $60, 000.
The litigants are claiming that we were grossly negligent in hiring an...
Sunday might my uncle dies of a heart attack, then at 12am tonight, the police inform us that my brother died in his sleep. He was only 49.
I don't know if I'd normally be on here this at this time of night, but having been told at midnight about my brother, I can't find in me to sleep as of...
