Listening to it right now (not for the first time though), and yeah, the difference is quite stark. It's a whole new album.G Martin 87 said:
It's night and day. The original mix had so much clipping that all the detail was lost. The songs come alive on the remixed album. It has some of Alex's best playing.

This is a great find!!!
I'm adding to my playlist because it sounds like old rush meets Grace under pressure

I love that track actually.
I posted another one in this thread that has all of the Rush guys on it, but isn't sung by Geddy either (well he sings half of it I guess). It appears to have been deleted for some reason (I'm guessing because I replied to a guy who complained about Geddy's singing voice).

Love this song live especially indoors.
Power Windows is an underrated album.

For me, Power Windows was the last great Rush album. I love it and everything that came before it, but not so much a lot that came after.
I strongly suggest listening to Clockwork Angels a few times, it is outstanding and IMO their best since Moving Pictures.WestGalvestonAggie said:Rocagnante said:

Counterparts was released about a week before I had to drive up to Fort Knox, KY to attend the Armor School. I wore that tape out on the drive and while I was in Kentucky.maroon barchetta said:
I wasn't as big on Hold Your Fire or Presto but Counterparts really resonated with me at the time.
Thanks for the heads up! So not only do we share first names but we also shared a love of silver sports cars!Echoes97 said:
Great stuff from everyone in the thread!
Everyone get their Rush newsletter? Can't wait to see these cars and read Neil's stories in this one.
Neil Peart's Final Book Silver Surfers
For Neil Peart, cars were a lifelong passion, and in his final literary creation, he writes about his beloved Silver Surfers collection; the joy of collecting these exquisite, rare, and important sports cars, and the myriad ways that they brought him great joy. Silver Surfers is an homage to these cars that meant so much to him, and to the passion of the road that fueled his life.
He first traces the roots of his auto obsession, taking us back to where it all began, with a 1969 Lotus Europa; through the cars he bought when the band first made it big, and even his first "family car," before taking us on a tour of the Silver Surfers themselvesa rare collection of some of the most iconic sports cars from the 1960s. From a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 to a classic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, each is a gorgeous silver (with the exception of one: a black 1964 Shelby Cobra whose patina Neil loved so much that he wrote, "I am not going to paint it").
"The title Silver Surfers for my collection of cars occurred to me while driving my DB5 up and down the Pacific Coast Highway. Because it felt right to me, I guess the idea that I was just one of the wave riders…
In search of natural peace, I often drove out that way and up in to the Santa Monica Mountains. Out past Malibu to Ventura County, I'd weave along barren ridges of rock and vegetation, the ocean always on one big side…
The waves were slow and gentle, or churned out a powerful, rolling rhythm…" - Neil Peart

I didn't get an email from Rush yet. Kind of surprising.
This looks good.

Listened to Roll the Bones late today while finishing up updates and paperwork. Such a solid album from start to end. I know lots of people including some close friends hate the title track, and I remember how shocked I was when I first heard it...but is seems pretty benign now.
From "I Think I'm Going Bald"Quote:
Once we loved the flowers
Now we ask the price of the land
Once we would take water
But now it must be wine
Now we've been
And now we've seen
What price peace of mind
Take a piece of my mind
Time and Motion is a great underrated suggestion. It reminds me of Double Agent, which also has a complex song structure and deserves more attention, too. Alex really shines in both.BCSWguru said:
Time and Motion is still one of my favorite Rush tracks. Face Up is another.

My first one was in either 80 or 81 at the Sam Houston Coliseum. I think. I know I saw them there but that place was very very smoky.
I could have sworn April Wine opened but the tour website says otherwise.
The Garden does that to me. Clockwork Angels was released just after my mom passed. I must have listened to the whole album close to a hundred times over the next few months. The Garden connected with me immediately and helped me through that time of grief.Big Cat `93 said:
OK, I'll mention another one: "Halo Effect." That album came out about a year after my divorce. When I heard the lyrics of that song for the first time, I just busted out crying. It was like Neil wrote them from my perspective. Plus, it's proof that they didn't have to show off their chops to create a good song.
"Time Stand Still" was always a standout to me, but it became my all-time favorite Rush song after my dad died. I wish some of those moments with him had been frozen a little bit longer.
