grasbo Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Geddy loved Chris Squire's playing and sound in the early 70s thats why he played the Rickenbacker bass.That thick clunking bass sound on Close to the Edge is the same on Hemispheres but best heard on the solos to Freewill and Red Barchetta.Oh by the way my avatar is a 59 pontiac.I had three of them.

savagegrace26 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hemispheres is a Yes wannabe album.Maybe, but it doesn't even remotely sound like anything Yes would do or had done by that time. Ok that came out wrong. Hemispheres is the closest they ever got to matching a Yes album with an epic. It doesn't sound like Yes but it almost matches Close To The Edge or Relayer in terms of quality. Wannabe was a stupid word. Not 'stupid'; just say it was too harsh, or something like that. I've never thought about how it is stylistically and structurally similar to Close to the Edge. I can definitely see that. But even still, the sound is completely, uniquely Rush. I was referring to the high standard of the album, nearly equally matching the Yes epics! I wasn't saying Hems sounds like Yes. It is all Cool Cheese! fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 As the Hemispheres Ambassador - Red Vinyl (HARV), I'd like to go on record as saying I did what I could to try to keep the discussion focused on Hemispheres: I even threw a little hissy fit. But all the other Hemispheres lovers seemed to be "elsewhere," so I was quite outnumbered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
