JARG Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Here's a fun little project I just uploaded. Description from the page:"A compressed look at Rush's original studio output. Each album is compressed at 1 second per minute (example, 45 seconds for COS because COS is 45 minutes long). Total album time is then divided by the number of songs to get the duration of each song clip. Songs that take up an entire album side are treated as one song, even if that song is broken up into smaller pieces. The duration of the gaps between the albums corresponds to the years (or fraction thereof) between the release of one album to the next. 1 second per year. I find it interesting to hear how much their sound evolved over the decades. I was inspired to do this from a fellow Rush fan, James Gibbon, who did something very similar. Thanks Slim!" http://youtu.be/13FSc_-1wxc Edited July 14, 2019 by JARG 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 You could have taken the easy route and picked the clips where the title of the song was sung, but you instead went for clips that sounded good going from one to the next. Nicely done. Big jump in sound and style from Hemispheres to P Waves, no surprise there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 You could have taken the easy route and picked the clips where the title of the song was sung, but you instead went for clips that sounded good going from one to the next. Nicely done. Thanks. My main goal in selecting the clips was to capture what I felt was a decent representation of the song itself and/or a decent representation of the band's sound (sometimes focusing on particular band members). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Errrr...Power Windows and HYF really stand out, and not in a good way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemistry1973 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Errrr...Power Windows and HYF really stand out, and not in a good way. For some reason Power Windows has aged much better than Hold Your Fire. I would love to hear a HYF remix. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
