Wednesday with Glideascope tangles computers, intriguing samples, and orchestral composition to make music for this digital age. With sounds as lush as classical composer Pachelbel on one track and up tempo Jamaican Patois vocals driving the next, this is a true kaleidoscope of sound.

You will enjoy the versatility in his music ranging from Jamaican Patois, Downtempo, Electronica and so much more. It's an awesome fusion of culture and world music.

'The best person to define the work is Glideascope himself. He calls his music, “The soundtrack for a movie never created.” Hearing it brings to mind some visually stunning films like Blade Runner, The Last Samurai, and Cry Freedom.'

Please imagine for a moment the scene, feelings and impact of this event: Glideascope was riding on the underground train a few metres away from one that was blown up in a terrorist attack. With the horrific images from the London Bombings of July 7th 2005 seared in his mind, Glideascope retreated. He reflected and tried to find meaning. When he finally returned home to music, he was stunned to find over 4,000 messages from devoted fans on his My Space page. He started to think that maybe he was on the right path after all. Maybe his music did have a bigger purpose.

So, sit back relax have a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of wine. Enjoy some good conversation and music. It's Wednesday time to kick back and refresh for the week...
