EagleMoon Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLSMWSt47UU I could hear a difference when they changed. The black normal vinyl didn't sound as clear in the highs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnEggplant Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The Trees is an amazing song Agreed. So are Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres, Circumstances, and La Villa Strangiato! Hemispheres is a perfect album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemispheres is a perfect album. I wrote that as I was listening to that red vinyl Toymaker posted Of course we know the songs so well, but sometimes they strike you like "Holy ****, what a great song" . .

Blue J Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think I may be listening to it over my lunch break today. I haven't for at least a couple of months now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Listening to it now...something I've never noted to talk about before, but there just seems to be such a brightness to the recording...with the exception of maybe Circumstances, the whole album sounds as fresh and modern (and just flat-out awesome) to me as it did the first time I ever heard it. And I didn't single out Circumstances because I don't like it, or anything. That isn't the case at all. I just meant that it doesn't sound quite as bright as the others, and the vocals are buried a bit more than the other two compositions with vocals on that album. But I love, love, love the tune. It's a great, terse little rock and roll tune. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMan Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 This is how I feel about Hemisperes. I can recall the first time I heard La Villa Strangiato....a friend played it for me and I went out and bought the album as fast as possible. Arguably the band's most ambitious piece and really the culmination of the most progressive period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 I have always liked Circumstances, and since Hemispheres has been on heavy rotation lately, I am loving it more now than ever . . . The instrumental interlude with Geddy on keys and Neil playing the glockenspiel or crotales - I love it Any drummers out there - what is Neil playing in that section ?

Good question - I'd like to know what crotales are and an example from one of their tunes. I always thought it was that sort of bell-like swishy sound that you hear in Witch Hunt, but I think I'm wrong about that. Edit: I think that noise is a "bell tree."

I think it is here - to Neil's left I would say a mini xylophone, but I am sure there is a proper name http://andrewolson.com/Neil_Peart/drums/images/farewell_files/r30-tb_2.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) What I see in the above photo, clockwise from left, are temple blocks, tubular bells, wind chimes (barely visible), the bell tree, and . . . glockenspiel? The crotales are mounted on top of the tubular bell rack in this photo (below), I just don't know what song(s) they're used in? http://andrewolson.com/Neil_Peart/images/neil_d9.jpg Edited November 4, 2015 by toymaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a hard time thinking of a lot of uses in Rush songs, but I know they get a fair amount of use in Anagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 To answer the initial question, about what Neil is playing during the midsection of Circumstances- orchestra bells and wind chimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'll have to search down the Holder of the Sporks and see if I can't find him. And write a memo to LIX making sure he picks up a carton of Corn Dogs for Narps on his way over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
