daveyt Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 i'd love to ask alex how on earth he came up with the intro for THE SPIRIT OF RADIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyt Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 the only connection i see is the fast acoustic into to LA VILLA because the first few notes use the B and E strings in an interesting way as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 QUOTE (circumstantial tree @ Dec 4 2004, 02:26 AM) Proggy and I had this same conversation once over at CP. I like Permanent Waves, but I always thought PeW was the rough sketch of the upcoming masterpiece Moving Pictures. That is partially the point I was trying to make. Without the transitional leap they made with Permanent Waves, there would have been no Moving Pictures and, as that is my favourite album of all time - period, the world would have been a lesser place.

faultline Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I was 17 years old when PeW came out. I must admit I had mixed emotion at the time. New Wave music was emerging. I wasnt embracing it.Led Zepplin was dying. The B-52's were played in my music appreciation class after I shared PeW with them. ...I really did not want them to be associated with the mainstream, and the epic songs of the past kept that distance. SOR was a hit!!! the music world seemed upside down, and I just did not know what to think!!...This album was the death knell of the epic song playing band I loved , and I knew it. Yet I was charmed by this album anyway . SOR had an irresistable opening riff. Freewill had the awsome interlude. Natural Science, and Jacobs ladder weened me from the epic.And, I really liked Entre Nous. The concert was great, and was introduced with such fanfare by the friendly new radio staion friends.

madra sneachta Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I agree PeW is the most important album from a transitional point of view. And the best album period!"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicago Tribune or some newspaper made the infamous overzealous prediction that Dewey would defeat Truman. Rush used it, and got a threat, if you will, from them. Even when they changed it to 'Dewei' they didn't like it. They had to get rid of it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hap Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I agree with proggy,the strenght of PW is in its variety. Jacob's ladder and especially Natural science are two complex and awesome songs.However I prefer NS in Different Stages. The spirit of Radio is a catchy song,very enjoyable. Freewill is partially strange,partially FM-oriented. Entre nous and different strings imo are good,but slightly below the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstar86 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 QUOTE This morning, just before leaving for work, I decided to have Permanent Waves in my walkman as its been a while since I've given it a listen. As I was walking along, listening and loving every minute of it, I was struck by how transtional a release PeW was. To me, this release, more than any other Rush album, marked the biggest change in direction and approach than any other. I agree. The synthesizers account for this transitional change that you speak of, IMO. All of the songs have the (awesome) synth pads in the background that really tie the rest of the instruments together. According to the Permanent Waves tourbook, Geddy was able to reproduce these synths live because he interfaced his Moog Taurus pedals with his Oberheim Polyphonic. This album may also be seen as the beginning of the end, for those of us who don't like Rush with synths, but nevertheless, it's a great album. I love Natural Science.

between sun and moon Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 i've been listening to that album a ton lately, i got it for christmas yay! i love natural science, spirit of radio and freewill are also good...different strings and entre nous are great, so is the camera eye...its all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPeartFan2112 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Permanent Waves was around the 5th or 6th Rush album I got, and it is amazing. Seems to be around that period of 2112, AFTK, Hemispheres and Permanent Waves where Rush really has a lot of their best songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
