Rolinda Bonz Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 That's great, Tmrpro!!! I can't wait to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I voted "It's allright." They gave you mostly radio-friendly songs. "Tom Sawyer" doesn't seem like a piano song (the verses, mainly), but if there's a way to adapt it, you will! "New World Man" is another iffy piano track, IMO (too riff oriented?). The rest are cool..."Fly By Night," "Red Barchetta" and "Freewill" will sound awesome. After hearing how well you handled Geddy's bass lines in "The Trees," you'll have some fun with "Big Money." And I can't wait to hear the beginning to "Spirit of Radio." Please keep us posted on this project! We're all psyched for you! Other songs I thought would translate well to piano were "Bravado," "Distant Early Warning" and "Different Strings." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushGuru Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Wow! Congratulations! I love the list. Closer to the Heart will sound awesome. So will Red Barchetta and the others 1001001 mentioned. I think New World Man will be a great piano song. that bass line in the beginning will sound really cool. I think Limelight will sound great too. Congrats again; I can't wait to hear every thing!

madra sneachta Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'm with 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 on this. It seems to me that the record company have gone for radio hits in a bid to appeal to casual fans. I would question whether or not casual fans would buy this. I'd have liked to hear Overture/Temples of Syrinx, Xanadu and YYZ. I loved your version of The Trees, but what would be nice would be reinterpretations of the tunes - In The Mood as a Chopin nocturne, Red Sector A as a Beethoven sonata or Analog Kid in the style of Debussy. One thing I am sure of tmpro - you'll do a fine job. Looking forward to hearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afansince74 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 That's awesome tmrpro! Congrats. Love the setlist. I semi-agree with the comments about the use of some of the more "pop" tunes, but it'll sound great... I mean, you're doing it after all... how else COULD it turn out!

Some great ideas here madra! Plant those seeds for the follow-up cd....... BTW, hope you can include the harpsichord in there somewhere, like the Broon's Bane you suggested as a Trees intro That's my only request (like that matters)! Keep us posted on progress and throw us any audio clips you can from time to time! Thanks for all your hard work... You ROCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sark Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I think resist would make a good piano song. Since the boys made the acoustic version sound so good, I think the piano would only compliment this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave G Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Some of the selections do seem a little odd for piano, don't they? Several years ago I got my arm twisted into playing piano for a friend's wedding, and during the lengthy period while guests were showing up, I was basically just improvising stuff off the top of my head..."Time Stand Still," "Bravado," "Resist," etc, things that were kind of melodic and lent themselves well to piano. "Tom Sawyer" with nothing but piano should be interesting indeed...can't wait to hear what you do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
