10,000 Days is the eighteenth studio album by Canadian band Saga. It was recorded after Michael Sadler had explained that he would leave the band for family reasons. The title therefore alludes to the thirty years Sadler had been part of Saga (which equates roughly 10,000 days). Sadler left after the tour but would return to the fold four years later.
"Corkentellis" is the first full-band instrumental Saga ever recorded ("Conversations" had some lines sung through a vocoder, whereas "Voila!" and "Watching the Clock" were solo piano interludes by Jim Gilmour). The track's unusual title is an amalgam of the names of three former Saga managers - Clive Corcoran, Geoff Kent and Michael Ellis. Along with "Book of Lies", it has become a live favourite.
