Lin Halliday's first album was titled Delayed Exposure because the big-toned tenor saxophonist was 55 before given a chance to record as a leader. This fine release showed listeners outside of Chicago what Windy City residents had realized for many years – that he was a passionate, richly expressive hard bopper who never failed to swing. Heartfelt performances of "Woody'N You" and "Serpent's Tooth" leave no doubt that Sonny Rollins is Halliday's primary influence, but also demonstrate that he's very much his own man.

The second album by Toronto based progressive rock band, Bolus. Delayed Reaction combines the dynamic sounds of 70's progressive rock with the edge of modern progressive music.
