I was actually going to put the moon icon beside The Body Electric, because it is put down so much! Granted, the drum/bass intro is probably one of the weakest song intros and does not fit with the overall tone of the song. Especially compared to the cool intros of so many of the synth album songs. But, if you can get through that 15s, it turns into a bombastic song. Especially the end- total bombast. And, until Clockwork Angels, The Body Electric was to be the last in the illustrious lineage of Rush SciFi/Fantasy story songs.

Snaked Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Let me see if I can do this... although I highly doubt it since P/g! and PoW are perfect like they are and Signals and HYF both have songs I'd want to put on it. Only 8? Hmmmm 1. The Analog Kid 2. The Enemy Within 3. Grand Designs 4. The Weapon 5. The Big Money 6. Open Secrets 7. Between The Wheels 8.

StellarJetman Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'd make one, but that would involve picking something from Hold Your Fire, and I'm not sure that I'd be able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarJetman Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Realized that there actually was a song on Hold Your Fire that I could shoehorn onto this. Side 1: "Force Ten" "The Analog Kid" "Territories" "Afterimage" Side 2: "Middletown Dreams" "Mystic Rhythms" "Between the Wheels" "Losing It" I don't like having two Power Windows tracks back-to-back like that, but I don't know what to do about it.
