Question 3:

Let's make it a bit harder:

What does the slow synthesizer break after the guitar solo in YYZ represent/convey (accordning to Neil Peart)?

At a guess, winding down after a long tour having arrived home

WOW! Good guess! Sure you haven't heard it before? It represents "the tremendous emotional impact of coming home" as he once put it.

 

The "winding down after a long tour" bit was never mentioned, but I consider that one additional aspect that is often true in their case. One point!

Look back at the discussion following Question 1. And remember, you won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes - Pay attention, buddy! wink.gif

I'm aware of this, and it's been my plan to post around the clock, very irregularly, to make it fair for all continents.

 

I'm in Sweden, and as I'm writing this it's about 20 to 5 PM.

I knew that YYZ itself is bassed on Toronto Airport's call sign, and while I've not seen the quote you've mentioned, but I have seen a quote along the lines of "It's always a happy day when those letters appear on our bags, because it means we're going home".

 

It seemed logical that if the intro is the thrill of the flight and landing, the slow bit is the relaxation that hasppens afterwards.

A Passage to Bangkok was omitted from the initial cd release because of space limitations...it is included on the vinyl....it was later released on the Chronicles CD

I think you've got it T4VS tongue.gif

 

It's been reinstated onto the remastered ESL CD as well (which is the one I have).

Question 5:

How was the Tidal Pools water sound on Natural Science (studio version) created?

Neil and Alex went out onto a lake close to Le Studio and and splashed the water gently with their hands.

Actually it was done with oars but I'm sure u should score the point, madra.
