RushFanForever Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) I've been listening to Ben Mink's 1980 solo album Foreign Exchange. The first song on the album is titled '1995 Plus Tax' and when I hear it, it's like a variation of 'Freeway Jam' by Jeff Beck and 'Natural Science' by RUSH combined together. At the 2:17 mark on '1995 Plus Tax', is where I hear the 'Natural Science' related bit of what I'm describing that occurs at the 7:17 mark. The rhythm and tempo are slightly similar on each song section as mentioned above. http://youtu.be/__WWAF8IkXg http://youtu.be/JXeb5jpdMds Edited September 6, 2020 by 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Replaced first vid with different version 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 I forgot to mention that Martin Deller of FM plays drums on Foreign Exchange. I'm sure everyone is aware of the connection with Martin Deller and Neil Peart here and here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreign Exchange is his one and only solo album. He also was a member of FM and has done soundtrack work for movies. He's also known for collaborating with k.d. lang (he co-wrote the hit 'Constant Craving') and produced two of Heart's recent albums.
