What Are You Listening To? Part 2

[bill]

They actually have someone competent doing the mixing this time, though to be fair, it's not quite a difficult job to better the production of Vapor Trails.


Full song in crappy quality is this. (Released by Rush.com, so 'tis legal.)

[edit]Better quality: linky[/edit]


Soundgarden - BadMotorFinger - Somewhere

[xHaZxMaTx]

Radiohead / OK Computer / Karma Police

The album that got me into Radiohead and one of my favourite tracks.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Queen / Greatest Hits, Volume 2 / One Vision

Gimme gimme gimme gimme fried chicken!

Rush - Snakes and Arrows - Far Cry  [from the link - gotta remember to look for it next time I hit town]

It's definitely Rush, but it's a lot like Vapor Trails in terms of style.  Too much guitar - needs more Oberheim.

Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow - 'Cause We've Ended as Lovers

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Barenaked Ladies - Stunt - She's On Time.

o/~ she's on time, (she's on time) she's on time, (she's on time)  she's on time, hallelujah, she's on time, and it's the greatest time of the month, they say, for love....

*grin*

Steeleye Span / Below The Salt / The Saucy Sailor
(Perfect way to end the album)

[Sunblink]

Ignorance is Bliss, by Jellyfish.

~Keaton the Black Jackal

Kick-ass.

Rush- Far Cry (Snakes and Arrows)

It's just the first song, and as far as I know, albums before 2112 was pretty much effects in terms of how synths were used. If they plan on going for that FTK-PW sound (like advertised by the producer, Nick Whatever-his-name-is), I agree that some synths would bring that nostalgia right back. Unless they are making a conscious decision to remove synths out of the mix and go for the power trio rock at it's core. Again.

In that case...

Alex! Play some solos goddangit!! Rhythm guitar, even with overdubbing and the like, can only get you so far...

Other than that, I'm liking this new Rush song and I WILL be going to at least TWO shows this year. Who knows? It might be another FIVE years before the next tour!

Personally, I want something like Permanent Waves (That is what you meant by 'PW', right?) or Moving Pictures.  Jacob's Ladder (DO NOT TYPE 'JAKOB') was my introduction to Rush, it wasn't until about 1997 that I was finally able to to an Altavista search for the lyrics to find out what song it was and buy it.  It's still my favourite, but I do like the Oberheim strings and brass sounds.

Talking of which, and to get back on topic, I'm listening to "My Wicked Life With The Hattifatteners" by me, which has that lovely string sound although it's a Cheetah MS6 rather than a proper OB-Xa or Matrix...

My brother has seen them live.  He was extremely impressed by their demented stage show which involved a lot of flamethrowers.  Apparently one of their songs - about the insane guy who killed and ate someone - had the keyboard guy inside a giant cauldron.

I am listening to a cover I've just done of 'Liberation' by George Fenton.
