Every album has to be the perfect Rush album.”“The first record,” Alex Lifeson says about 2112, “where we sounded like Rush.”“2112 is, more than anything, a record about being Rush: loving music, moving it forward and taking it to the world, whatever the price. And it is perfect.” – David FrickeOriginally released in 1976, Rush’s epic, landmark release 2112 was their creative and commercial breakthrough as well as one of the band’s most highly regarded releases among both fans and critics alike. With lyrics written by Neil Peart, and influenced by author Ayn Rand, 2112 kicks off with the ambitious seven-suite title track (side one), set in a futuristic world run by the “Priests of the Temples of Syrinx” who regulate “every single facet of every life,” which includes books, music, work and play. “2112” conveys the story of humanity’s instinctual, inner need for one’s free will.After the mythological journey through “2112,” side two brings you back to the present and continues with five stand-alone tracks. From hard-rocking tracks such as “A Passage to Bangkok,” “Lessons,” and a trip to into the fourth dimension with “The Twilight Zone,” to the album’s soaring conclusion, “Something For Nothing,” 2112 is the album that ushered in the next stage in their continuing evolution as artists.

Merely Space Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Nice bonus features. I wasn't interested. Now I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm_donuts Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Pass on this. I'm getting kind of weary of the rehashed merch. It just puts more money in Ray Daniels pockets. I would be interested in a cleaned-up version of Vapor Trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus 2112 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'm going for the special edition of it. When is the release date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested in a cleaned-up version of Vapor Trails.I'm with you,can't really see the appeal of Passage to Bangkok or Something for Nothing in surround sound.Would rather hear Hemispheres,Signals or Power Windows given some treatment as there is a hidden dynamic to these albums.

gudbuytjane Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 CD – Digitally remastered plus 3 unreleased bonus live tracks:- Overture (Northland Coliseum, Edmonton, AB – June 25, 1981)- The Temples of Syrinx (Northland Coliseum, Edmonton, AB – June 25, 1981)- A Passage To Bangkok (Manchester Apollo, Manchester, England – June 17, 1980) Interesting. I wonder if this means we might get full concerts from either of these dates some day. Is this version of A Passage to Bangkok the same as ESL? -Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The bonus tracks are a godsend, but they are such a tease. They did a great job with the Taurus pedals in the mix. It sounds so sweet! Would not surprise me if those tracks were once under consideration for Exit...Stage Left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
