toymaker Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I only relatively recently noticed that there is tambourine in The Necromancer - during the heaviest part of the song, too. I guess I've always been so focused on Lifeson's astonishing guitar playing that I never paid much attention to the nuances of the percussion. What are some eye-opening ear-opening moments for you? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Great topic There is something odd happening under the vocals at the beginning of the second verse during In The Mood It sounds intentional, as in subliminal ... Of course, it could be an unused track bleeding thru or ghosting ... Geddy double tracked his vocals on certain parts of the song, and perhaps this was just a mistake .... But it sounds intentional to me .. Press you ear to the speaker at about the 55 second point .. It goes by fast .. And it is more noticeable on the left side ( right side if you are facing the speakers ) Edited February 17, 2016 by Lucas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil1972 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The heartbeat at the end of Cygnus X-1. Only noticed it after reading about it and then putting on some headphones to listen more closely. On the vinyl version of FbN, the chimes at the end of By-Tor don't end, they continue into the run-out groove. And the tonality of the chimes is different on vinyl than on CD. There is a slight ghosted vocal at the end of Didacts and Narpets on CoS, when the vocals shout "Listen!", you can hear it almost as a ghosted echo after the track ends. The remastered VT revealed a lot of things that I never noticed before, little sounds here and there in various songs. It was like hearing it again brand new. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 There are quite a few things I never noticed until the nth listen, but of course I can't think of them now. What's amazing is when I hear something new in a song I've heard 100 times. Often listening on a different system does that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I hope no one has been back spinning their vinyl and finding hidden messages that the God squad can jump on.We don't want see another Judas Priest,Ozzy or Led Zep scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly accurate transcript of the Countdown dialogue follows. As a 12 year old I recorded the audio of that launch by holding my tape recorder up to the TV speaker. http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=207518 And video/audio of the launch. I get goose bumps remembering how I felt that morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I am not sure when mine was printed but based on the Mercury label it was probably early 80s. It doesnt have the skyline label like the 70s copies. I found it in a flea market. Along with AFTK and CoS. Someone was dumping some old Rush and I gladly grabbed them up! But yes it does run into the inner groove on mine. Sorry yours does not, it is an interesting effect when you are not paying attention at first. My turntable has an automatic return so I missed it at first, and had to stop and play it again. I suppose if it was not automatic return, it would play perpetually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
