Crimsonmistymemory Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Wow, have I been digging hemispheres as of late. I put it in my rotation a week or so ago and have not been able to let it go. Even when I am not driving it is playing in my head. What a wonderful body of work. I have to admit this collection is the one that took some time to warm up to. Especially some parts or Cygnus X-1 Book II. But as it stands now every piece (& every song) is tied together and exquisitely crafted. I feel as an old romance has been rekindled, an excitement of a child on Christmas morning. Yesterday I didn't even take the disk out or put the radio on. 3 hours on the road singing and playing my steering drum kit, nothing else needed. It's still in the slot today. If the R-40 concert was today and the band played the whole album note for note, I think I would be the happiest person in the arena. This is not the 1st time I have had this sensation of the ear & thought candy Rush has provided over the decades, and it won't be the last. However today Hemispheres Rules!!Precious gifts beyond compareWe can build a world of wonderI can make you all aware "Every soul a battlefield" Edited April 14, 2015 by Crimsonmistymemory 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I have memory and awareness,But I have no shape or formAs a disembodied spirit,I am dead and yet unbornI have passed into OlympusAs was told in tales of old,To the city of Immortals,Marble white and purest gold . . . There are rare moments during certain songs that, no matter what you are doing or where you are, these moments will transport you to some other place .. This is one And Hemispheres is, for me, what RUSH is 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
