...their melodic lines.Similar restrictions on the early 8-bit composers led to similar innovations. The usage of the multi-metered composition keeps the audience from tiring quickly of what is by technical necessity a short tune (most non-medley tracks on the Advantage album are under two minutes in length). The Advantage cover of the "Egypt" theme from Double Dragon III is a typical result; as it elaborates on its pentatonic sensibility with meandering guitar lines, the song brings a fresh sound to a well-worn tonal range. While this music shares a parallel creation to that of the Baroque...
Just before the opening of the Torino Games, the two top officials of the Canadian Olympic Committee (C.O.C.), Chris Rudge and Michael Chambers, each talked at some length about efforts to boost their nation's medal totals. With that out of the way, the assembled media then homed in on the real story of the moment: Wayne Gretzky and his possible connection to an alleged North American sports-gambling ring.

Fifth in a line of upscale comic books that the co-publishers hope will fill the gap between more cheaply produced pamphlets and pricey full-length books, the other authors in this "Ignatz" series have all been Europeans until now. Huizenga hails from Illinois and creates the most suburban comix to be found in the alternative market. His regular series Or Else has been reviewed by TIME.comix, and he specializes in small-scale narratives of riding bikes...
...claiming they have the measles, Nanny McPhee actually gives the children measles for the day. Lesson learned—with Nanny McPhee, get up or get ill. After each lesson taught, one of Nanny McPhee’s physical flaws disappears. To enlarge the slim plot into a full-length movie, Thompson—who also wrote the script—throws in a half-baked storyline involving Mr. Brown’s financial and marital problems. When wealthy Great Aunt Adelaide (Angela Lansbury) tells the broke Mr. Brown he must marry or will lose her financial assistance, he settles...
