Prog-positive listening experiences with you!
I am 38 years old and when I was a teenager, Rush was the band that got me interested in prog.... Well, over the years Rush has gathered a little dust because I have been listening to so much of the great prog music out now. After seeing Mark's picks, I put Hemispheres in the CD player and gave it a good listen.
Geddy's awesome vocal-bass-keyboard work, Alex's fluid guitar playing, and the Professor's brilliant drumming still give me goose-bumps.
Not to mention the great music and lyrics (being a huge sci-fi and fantasy fan, Rush's lyrical content always appealed to me).
Thanks Mark for helping me to re-discover one of the bands that started it all for me. Peace everyone. JB
I was struck by how haunting this record is. With soon to be Bad Company's bassist Boz Burrell assuming lead vocals, when I first heard it, I liked it but didn't love it. It has grown on me over time and now I regard it as one of their finest achievements.
Here we have Sinfield's lyrical palette in full force for the last time on a KC record, and some nice orchestral parts. The title track is just plain eerie. A great record for a cold, rainy day...
The album cover is pretty cool also! Andre
No Mystery was the second album made with the killer lineup including Al Dimeola, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, and Chick Corea; the third in this series with the playing philosophy.
The high points on "No Mystery" ... are tracks 6 through 9. Celebration is a true epic.
