Did you say Best Buy?!?
With their limited selection these days very surprising.
Haven't been in a BB in probably a year. Shocking but way cool if true.
BTW... I'll be seeing Fates play live in less than a month (Denver show)
No Fucking Way!
Jim... in case you ever read any of this nonsense,
you are a compositional genius. Seriously.
I thought Monument was the shit.
I thought Still Remains was it on a stick.
And Yet It Moves, with its baroque counter point intro
and final counter point application is clearly nothing short of genius.
Also praying to the Music Gods that you & Kevin will give us another
O.S.I. recording & yes, Gavin needs to remain the drummer.
Lastly, as someone who championed Fates as really becoming Fates
when Ray & Mark joined the band (this will always be my favorite line up)
Arch / Matheos is as good as music gets.
Doubters do yourself the favor of really LISTENING to this stuff.
I think Sympathetic Resonance is Jim's tour de force writing-wise.
You can accuse John of being a bit over the top.
You can maybe be put off by the somewhat nasaly / Maideny tendencies.
But Arch is undoubtedly a technical virtuoso who still has all the range and then some.
I assume cigarettes are to blame, but the same can't be said for the great Ray Alder
(sorry Ray).
In this very forum I have also poo-pooed anyone other than Zonder,
That said, Jarzombek is upping it a notch. Very curious if all that shit can happen live ;)
Just glad to have heard Jim's music over the years. Easily my favorite composer.
How's about a 3rd solo record Jim? Pretty Please?
Long live Jim & Long Live Fates.
Felt like pontificating as I sit here buzzed & enjoying Darkness In a Different Light.

p.s. did I hear new Fates record in 2016?
Fuck Yeah.
