Ged Lent's sis Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Only half of the Fountain's parts are good. Didacts and Narpets, No One at the Bridge, and Bacchus Plateau.Anyone have a .cue sheet on where to divide the tracks on this song so I know where each bit starts? If Bacchus Palteu is the "Cask of 42" bit then I hate that section of the song. It starts ok, get kinda cool during the middle mellow Geddy vocals (Panacea) and ends pretty good but most of the middle bits sink the song for me. It just so happens that I have divided both TN and TFoL. The latter was way easier in that there is a distinctive silence between sections, whereas The Necromancer fades and blends all the way through.Here's the entire track list & lengths: Bastille Day - 4:41I Think I'm Going Bald - 3:41Lakeside Park - 4:11The Necromancer - I. Into the Darkness - 4:12The Necromancer - II. Under the Shadow - 4:27The Necromancer - III. Return of the Prince - 3:55 The Fountain of Lamneth - 4:18The Fountain of Lamneth - 1:01The Fountain of Lamneth - 4:19The Fountain of Lamneth - 3:17The Fountain of Lamneth - 3:15The Fountain of Lamneth - 3:50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eel Yddeg Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Lyrics aside, I Think I'm Going Bald is a pretty good song.In fact, all of Caress of Steel is great, especially the Necromancer. The only part I don't like is the Diadects and Narpets section of the Fountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rftag Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The transition from pre-chorus to chorus for Witch Hunt is literally a musical orgasm. I don't agree with the rest of your post but I strongly agree with this. Witch Hunt has great lyrics and a powerful chorus. I love the transition from the bitter sounding distorted guitar to bitter sweet synths. I think it's a great example of musical/lyrical synergy; the lyrics make the music more powerful and vice versa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rftag Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 An unpopular Rush opinion? I have several. -I think the debut album is awesome. -I think "Wreckers" and "Wish Them Well" are two of the strongest tracks on CW. -I don't think any of the stuff Rush put out after MP was quite as special as the stuff before. The last Rush songs that actually gave me goosebumps the first time I heard them were on PeW and MP. Then again no song has given me goosebumps since then; maybe you have to be a certain age to have that physical reaction to a song who knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd that no song moved you after Moving Pictures, since on the very next album Geddy actually sings "You Move Me, You Move Me...", yet you are not touched by it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the humor here but just to be clear, I'm not saying no songs after MP move me (many do, including Analog Kid;)); I'm just saying I think they had a certain special quality prior to MP that is absent thereafter.

rftag Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I have to confess I really have no idea whether they will put out another album or tour again in some way. I think a new album is far more likely than another tour. But I do not expect either and think both unlikely. However, I really couldn't say I'd be shocked if they did either or both. I would be very pleasantly surprised by either however. It would be an extra dessert in my opinion after an already fully satisfactory meal. I'd love to see it but don't expect it. I enjoyed the last tour more than any previous, and was lucky enough to see two shows (my only gripe is that both were set A). Periscope made it a new experience and so much fun whether you were there or not. I'm thoroughly grateful to the boys for what they've given us and so far as I'm concerned, as much as I'd love to see more, if there isn't any more they've already given us way more than enough. The fact that it's still a possibility, however slim, that in 2016, 40 years after 2112, that there may be any more is itself so incredibly awesome whether there is any more or not. I am so grateful for what they've given us. Edited February 3, 2016 by rftag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) This should've been a song released by Rush. Contains singing by Geddy's keyboard tech Jack Secret, and of course the guys. Skip plays bass. OK, it's pretty bad, but there's some interesting progressions here. Pretty sure few people really know about the two tracks they did with Jack. Though I'm sure eaglemoon will claim to have this on vinyl. I'm here to help educate ya'll--TM In the Signals tour book, Neil talks about some down time the band had while it was mixing its live album Exit . . . Stage Left. “There was really not much for us to do except say “it sounds good” or “it doesn’t sound good.” The result of that inactivity was “Tough Break,” a piece that Neil helped Tony Geranios (Jack Secret) and Skip Gildersleeve put together. Geranios was the band’s guitar and keyboard tech, and Gildersleeve was its stage left technician. Geddy and Alex jumped in on keyboards and rhythm guitar. Jack Secret was the frontman. Neil doesn’t say what Skip Gildersleeve’s part in all of it was. Maybe bass. (Update: In sad news, Skip passed away in Sept. 2013.)They called themselves the Fab Pros and the piece is about a roadie who learns his wife is fooling around while he’s on tour. He says he was ready to play the family man when he got back home, but his wife can forget that now! He then laments, “Every woman that I’ve ever known / Has been the same.”The piece appears as a bonus track on a bootleg CD of the band’s show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on April 16, 1986. In 2008, two blogs, Counterparts and Rush is a Band, linked to the piece and talked about its origins. Lyrics:Girl, I heard some people talkingOn the road the other dayIt was some of the boys from the other bandAnd they were saying your nameI just stood there listeningGrowing angry, feeling wrongedI couldn’t believe that you would deceive meCould I be that wrong?Am I a fool?Playing your gameEvery woman that I’ve ever knownHas been the sameHas been the sameBeen the same, yeahYour boys know of my life on the roadSomething I had to do with the bandAnd when I was through I would be home with youPlaying the family manBut now things are differentGirl, what was your plan?Why you lied to me when you could have been freeThis I don’t understandAm I a fool?Playing your gameEvery woman that I’ve ever knownHas been the sameHas been the sameBeen the same, yeahAm I a fool?Playing your gameEvery woman that I’ve ever knownHas been the sameHas been the sameBeen the same, yeahCausing me painCausing me painBeen the same, yeahBy the Fab ProsVocals: Tony Geranios (Jack Secret)Bass: Skip Gildersleeve [?]Rhythm guitar: Alex LifesonKeyboards: Geddy LeeDrums: Neil PeartRecording: Le Studio, Moran Heights, Quebec, 1981 Edited February 4, 2016 by Tombstone Mountain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
