I never got to see it live  Unfortunately I think Geddy's voice has degraded over the last 10 years to the point where if he tried singing it now, he wouldn't be able to do it justice.

Gompers Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 QUOTE (ReRushed @ Apr 29 2011, 10:06 PM) I like both songs. I think "Far Cry" is more melodic and it has a great chorus, one of Rush's best. So, I think you're wrong! OLV < FarCry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostworks Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 in a head-to-head 'battle', Far Cry is easily the better song I listen to Far Cry now and still get something out of it (includes one of their most addictive choruses) OLV was interesting and exciting for two months (March to May 2002) I listen to OLV now and get only a clunky, overwrought and annoying mish-mash the single was an important milestone at the time, but is an empty shell without the historical reference markers of 'when' it happened and 'what' it was ironically, in a head-to-head 'battle' VT is easily the better 'album' overall  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionDetector Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011  Yeah, you're right! Overall I will say, I think the remixes took alot of the 'punch' that should've stayed from the originals (as mentioned before, I think Earthshine got hurt the most from this). But yeah...I would like to see more punch, but still keep the clarity of the remixes. The first time I heard the remixes, I immediately noticed Ged's BASS! It was awesome to hear! That bass part from 0:31 to 0:34 is something I never could make out on the original recording. It sounds so awesome to me! I keep thinking of all the awesome "hidden" parts that could show up once the rest of the tracks are remixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Caravan > Far Cry > OLVÂ Far Cry and OLV are both awesome songs to rock out, too Far Cry is just a bit better... And just for the record, I like S&A, too. Just not Faithless The Larger Bowl is amazing Edited May 3, 2011 by Tommy Sawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the part I'm thinking of (during the intro of "One Little Victory"), I didn't even HEAR that bass on the original album! I was like, "Wait, did he ADD A BASS BIT to the recording, in addition to remastering it?" Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeamusWiles Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 while I'm not a big fan of the Earthshine remix, it does bring out the hidden ACOUSTIC guitar parts that no one would have ever known was there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebernreuter Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 QUOTE (SeamusWiles @ Apr 29 2011, 09:03 PM) One Little Victory is such a superior song it isn't even fair. It's like comparing Moving Pictures and Presto. Wrong. I hate "One Little Victory." The garbage mix doesn't help, especially the vocal production. Way better live. Still inferior to "Far Cry."

thebernreuter Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The remixes would be perfect without the change to the bass guitar sound. Sounds like pooh now. On the original record it had the overdriven intensity Geddy uses live. On the remixes it's extremely clean and the eq is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Enemy Without Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) I can't really compare seeing as I am just beginning to appreciate their newer stuff. Once I'm there, I'll come back to you. Edited May 5, 2011 by An Enemy Without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
