toymaker Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Post your most interesting idea for an 80 minute CD. I'll make these CDs for myself and call them "the Segue Mix" and "the Narpski mix" and "the Lorraine Mix" and the . . . you get the idea. And . . . I know this is hard, but . . . try to represent the whole career. Be surprising. I want to make real CDs, not just playlists, so we're limited to 80 minutes. I have a program that allows me to take sections from longer songs, as well, so I can include, say "No one at the Bridge" or "Armageddon." One restriction: I always skip the following songs: Roll the Bones, Neurotica, You Bet Your Life, Tai Shan, and Virtuality. However, I'm willing to listen to arguments for including those songs...and I'll try to keep an open mind. Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaghetti Lee Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) I did this a few years ago with minidisc as I am still a huge fan of the medium as far as recording without a computer and the ability to make perfect edits...not to mention they never seem to fail. Anyhoo, I tend to like the deeper cuts on albums at times, and after Hurricane Katrina for a time I was living in a little 13ft Scamp travel trailer and had a small setup in it with a Carver tube cd player and a Sony Type-R minidisc recorder. Making analog copies from the tube section of the Carver imparts a tape-like thickness and warmth...so the recorded minidiscs have the sound of the Carver. The only Rush cds I had on-hand at the time were Mo-Fi versions of 2112 and Moving Pictures, plus the original issue Fly By Night and Caress of Steel...and the newly released (at the time) R30 dvd. I purposely wanted the more moody lesser-played tracks. Not the best songs from those albums, but it's a different, unique mix. So, here's the minidisc I made. I love it!!! 1) No One at the Bridge2) The Twilight Zone3) Oracle: The Dream4) Circumstances (live from R30 dvd...GREAT live 70's version)5) Tears6) Red Barchetta7) Panacea8) A Passage to Bangkok9) I Think I'm Going Bald10) Making Memories11) Bacchus Plateau12) Best I Can13) Lessons14) Beneath, Between, and Behind15) The Camera Eye16) La Villa Strangiato (live from R30 dvd...talk about analog tape 70's goodness)17) Lakeside Park Here's a corny thing I just noticed...on minidisc, you can name the titles and the disc. The Carver tube cd player has a "Soft-eq" circuit that further thickens things up in addition to the tubes. I label (usually in the disc title) recordings I make off the Carver "SCAT" for "Soft-eq Carver Analog Tube" so that I remember how the minidisc was recorded. Anyhoo, i named the minidisc: Rush "Paula Abdul Featuring MC 'SCAT' Cat" I will probably be crushed in the gears of a combine for associating Rush with Paula Abdul, but I'm assuming (can't really remember lol) the link was because she once had a horrid song called "Rush" and screwed an animated cat. So, it kinda fit in a weird way... Edited July 16, 2014 by Spaghetti Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I only get 80 minutes. I don't think I will get anywhere near S&A with my mix..... Okay, but I think Malignant Narcissism (sp?) is a cool little track, and it might be useful to make up the last couple of minutes of a 77 minute track list.
