They used to say Music Today on it. I'll take a stab and say they are outsourcing now, which might be why they are arriving quicker than they did before.

Got my notification too. I have to say that this is pretty early for Music Today based on the last 10 years. They don't normally get here until three to four weeks out from the show.

I never even opened mine and I don't plan too. (But I am curious to hear how much better it sounds than the CD.)

QUOTE (Smegger68 @ Jul 4 2012, 07:31 AM) A hi-fi board I belong to doesn't allow member to trade until they have 100 posts. This prevents people from joining just to trade items. A simple disclaimer stating Caveat Emptor will remove any need for mods here to get involved in disputes. There is a locked feedback thread so people can post their experiences of trading with members,. This quickly builds up and then a quick search allows for a simple method of finding out if people are trustworthy. In this way, trading between members has been almost trouble free for 7 years now. And this is for much higher value items. Is it the Hoffman forum? You can also leave feedback detailing your experiences. I'd welcome a thread here too as I'm looking to cull my collection a little bit although I still have this habit of adding more than I subtract. Not much of an Ebay guy myself. Too expensive and too many "custom" items for my taste.

My friend (who's a Rush fan/skeptic) has said it's a lost Rush song and I'm inclined to agree! HOLY MOTHER OF GED! Could you imagine?! Never would happen, but it would be epic! I'm still holding out for a Geddy Lee solo tour. During the hiatus, my dream was the there would be a short Geddy and Alex live revue tour with songs from My Favorite Headache, Victor and whatever else they might want to do with a bunch of friends. Not really in that headspace now, but who knows what the future holds....

Was this MP3 sourced?

QUOTE (beherit @ May 28 2012, 12:52 PM) Does Rush food exist? Oh yeah, I forgot that I had gum that is shaped like a record that is wrapped in the album cover for Permanent Waves. I never opened it so who knows what it looks like in there. I got it in the mid-80s I think.

QUOTE (ytserush @ May 27 2012, 11:09 PM) Went on a CD safari this weekend and stumbled on the Headlong Flight edit/album version advance radio promo. Wasn't expecting to find one in the rest of the promo singles in the bin (I always hope) but maybe this one got by somebody. Anyone know if there have been any other new promotional singles released yet for Clockwork Angels?

R40 may happen. But it won't happen in 2014.

Best one that I've seen in person was easily by far Marillion. I would have loved to have seen Max Webster, Steve Morse, Primus and Eric Johnson though, but even then I'd have still liked Marillion more.

Marillion opened with Misplaced Childhood March 31, 1986 at the Meadowlands. Wish I'd seen those Radio City shows in mid-September 1983.

Son was 4 when we took him to his first Rush concert 10 years ago. The show in October will be Rush concert number 8 for him.

Nice!

Do I think there are some mix issues? Sure do. But it hasn't stopped kicking my ass since the second time I listened to it.

QUOTE (ak2112 @ Jun 15 2012, 06:19 PM) QUOTE (CygnusX-1Bk2 @ Jun 15 2012, 03:44 PM) As someone who earns a living as an audio person I can say that part of it is the way things are recorded, part of it is mixing less than stellar recordings and finally part is mastering for iPods. I have recently been a part of an audio engineering forum that has turned me around many degrees where recording is concerned. I have been working in the digital domain since the 90's and with music especially (sound effects are my main trade) I have struggled to come close digitally to even poorly recorded analog recordings I have done on cassette 4 track. The main culprit is the digital medium itself. We've had discussions like this in the MMM section (where I moderate for some of you who don't recognize me). Digital recording is inherently flawed because of how it works, especially when all of humanity is used to hearing analog recordings. This is a fundamental recording issue but it effects things that are frequency dependent like EQ and modulation effects (phase, flange, chorus etc; oh and drums and cymbals and guitars...) because not all frequencies are "created equal" due to fixed sample rates. Higher frequencies lose out the lower the sample rate while lower frequencies are always represented much more closely t their analog equivalent. So when you play back something that wasn't recorded as well as we are used to hearing, then mixing it with other "inferior" recorded material, then smashing it to be as loud as possible there is little wonder why we don't like what we're hearing. There will always be a new technological "advances" that will take us to the next tier. Neil Young is working on a new digital format that will allegedly deal with some of this, but I will believe when I hear it. Interesting perspective but Power Windows was a full digital album (DDD) from start to finish and the album sounds fantastic, especially the Japanese 32.8P version. Steve Hoffman is remastering tons of albums from the 70's and 80's and his stuff sounds smooth, silky and full of dynamic range. I assume he uses digital equipment during most if not all phases of his work, correct? What about Donald Fagens, the Nightfly? Thats another very early full digital recording that is just flat out fantastic. In fact, I'd go as far to say it may be the finest sounding album ever released and that was way back in 1982. Something is wrong in the culture in which you work IMO. You're dead on when you use the phrase "mastering for ipods". What I find really sad is the number of folks on here that listen to the 97 Rush remasters and say they're better than the orignals. They're certainly louder...but not better. Sadly to many, louder = better. Keep fighting the good fight Sir! Louder is most certainly not always better.

QUOTE (Jaminbenb @ Jun 7 2012, 02:42 PM) Ok...received the fan pack today...my only complaint is that the "digipack" CD case doesn't fit in my CD rack! It's TOO BIG I solved this problem by buying a copy that did fit and kept that CD with the Fanpack.

I'd put Vapor Trails (despite its sonic nightmare) Snakes and Arrows and Clockwork Angels up against any three studio album (four if you count Feedback) in Rush's history. I enjoy them that much. And I still love Test For Echo too.

Beginning sounds like the bass riff from a Stevie Ray Vaughan song and I've been knocking myself out trying to find out which one it is.

Where are the rest?

Corgan was one of the stars in the documentary in my opinion so I don't have a problem with it as long as the vibe is like that.

QUOTE (eshine @ Jun 1 2012, 03:36 PM) While it is VERY tempting, I have not listened to a single clip (or even opened that thread) and have not read a single review or story about Clockwork Angels. All I know of the album are the three officially released tracks. When I pop that puppy in on the 12th, it will be the first time in well over a decade that I haven't kind of spoiled the experience for myself - and I gotta tell ya, for me, it's a hell of a lot more fun this way. Anyone else with me on this? - I should also note that I could give two sh*ts what the haters have to say this time around - and this is coming from someone who has engaged in quite a few heated debates in defense of vitriol thrown at the band on the other boards through the years. It just doesn't matter. At all. Rush are releasing a brand new concept album and going on tour in the year 2012. Celebrate the moment. This is my plan. I'll pick it up this Friday night and enjoy it the whole weekend.... That is if the fan pack, which was supposedly shipped, doesn't get here on Friday.

One stop shop thread. Put them all here.

Son is 13 and loves Rush. He'll be going to his 7th show since 2002 in October. He's seen the Carl Palmer Band 4 times, King Crimson a few times.... Too expensive to go to everything we want to see though
