Better than SW "notify me when you feel like it" :lol

Quite interesting! I'm into yet another revival of their albums - one of the bands that defined the 70's, which could not be said about that brief but foul smelling fart in the history of "music"...

All in on Beato as of now... The Ear Training course has really been of good regarding recognising intervals and chords as well as Prima Vista playing.
That age of 15-16 applies to me for sure! I started buying LPs, some old like Yessongs, Trilogy and Aqualung (which I loved) as well as Acquiring the Taste, Bundles and Foxtrot (which I dismissed -...
On the subject of pianos and live - I toured briefly with a progressive band in the early 80s and we had this wonderful keyboard guy that we came to hate more and more. The reason was his Yamaha...
Until the first good truly multisampled piano came (GigaPiano, remember? Needed a PC and a good soundcard) I relied first on the piano samples in an EMU Emax and later the Roland U-series pianos...
In Stockholm there happened a mosh at a Plini concert :lol Probably as he's a big influence for metal guitarists... They had moshed to a Holdsworth show, had he still be around...
""We must be crucified
A harder way than Jesus", the genius made a speech to say

I agree with the above! More mature sound and improved production and skills! They are still in their niche and are developing it! The "sugar prog" reference is a bit amusing sometimes but a bit...
I really loved the gated drum sounds when it happened in the 80s, and it still fits in its intended place, but also quite overused subsequently. Still prefer it to that zero-dynamic artillery-style...
Agreed! I noticed it first when I was exploring Dream Theater around Images and Words. Not only the jackhammer bass drum but a total lack of dynamics in MPs playing. Hated that it became the general...
Haha I tick most of your boxes when it comes to what I like and do myself! :D Like Musique Concrete or a soundtrack without the film, mixing - I am a fan of ambient music btw...
Example: Steps of...
Wonderful! Nice arrangements, good musicianship and professional production!
Good balance between pop n weirdness in their original lineup. Then the two paradigms separated, one half going only pop and the other only weird! Still DB is maybe my favourite and then BT a quick...
Maybe for me too, but this thread is also for the unobtainum synths ;)
Modular... in a way! Interesting at least!

One thing that is intriguing about Rush were their ability to develop and be influenced by the general musical trends of the eras but still do their own thing and never loose the Rushiness... And...
Bit-99 is often a bargain but you have to cope with a DX-7-style interface.
The oscillators in it are dual DCOs, similar to Roland JX-8P, Juno 6/60/106 (though they are 1 osc) and even Elka...

Really nice and very entertaining piece! I love the seemingly laidback but still complex rythm of the drums n also the other instruments. The keys really shine and I get some Keith Emerson vibes -...
...and now two not very dissimilar "epic" guitarists! I admire both and sincerely hope that it will not feel like that one brownie too much...
Another excellent piece! Interesting, inventive and whimsical (in a positive sense), just like some those early Yes arrangements! Nice playing and great vocal work! I could discuss production details...
...every enjoyable as always!
Not so fast... ;)
I've got a special relation to the Prophet 5 since I heard it first time in a show in 1979! I've got most of the emulations, including the Arturia and Repro-5 but they are all...

Beautiful music and intriguing landscapes... I'll check out the rest of the BC catalogue for sure!
This is excellent... Great song, arrangement and performance!

Most of the ppl I know that already got the Osmose are quite satisfied. The complaint being that due to the key pressure solution the keys lack a distinct "bottom out" feel...
My first ELP when I was randomly probing the already abandoned prog genre in the second half of the 70's (got CTTE at the same time) and the sound blew me away - best ELP or not, it defined my love...

Some really cool Hammond playing there!
Ouch... What did I just listen to? A few times every decade or so I'm truly stunned by a piece of music previously unknown to me at the first listen... Now it just happened again!
I find this...

Quite some first post there! :up Welcome to PE and it's an excellent piece of epic music you posted there! An 19-minute modal piece is quite a daring feat but you did it well with a good catching...

The pattern on CDs and even on DVDs are moulded and the plastic disc is then metallized and coated/printed (I have worked at Toolex Alpha, later acquired by Pheenix Alpha - whcih was one of the...
Not for CDRs though but maybe some business in some years for cleaning and re-metallisation... The "grooves" are in the plastic!
The transformers were used (and still are in some cases) every time the signal should go between unbalanced and balanced and vice versa. For the simplest signal path, say, Microphone to mixer (2),...
Another way to warm up the sound is by using signal transformers. Though no analogue components will ever "clean up" things (by the laws of nature), they can add distortion that are perceived an...
No disrespect intended, but I found this actually quite funny...

1977 if Queen counts (No they don't!) or 1978 if ELO counts (No way!) or 1979 if Rush counts (Definitely, as it was the Hemispheres Tour)
Good to hear! I'll be holding my Prime horses until a few further reliable positive reviews drops in - having the Great Foundation Failure in mind...
I'd bet :D
Most wise things have been said in the thread already, a couple of things though - with a jazz background I love good creative melodic improvisation that are not just added/extended stacks of licks...

I guess you refer to aliasing, but anyway - yes the problem as always, is within the analogue domain!
Under no legitimate circumstances will the dynamic range of vinyl ever exceed the dynamic range of CD, under any frequency, given the wide performance gap and the physical limitations of vinyl...
To beat a dead analogue horse... ;)

Is there a similar list (or other ranking) from Alex? Did he feel getting pushed back in the 80's returning with a vengeance in the 90s?

Well nobody works in isolation and of course Rush had their influences... But from my experience, listening to the aforementioned "they did it before Rush" bands like Trettioåriga Kriget, UFO and...
"Hemispheres" is their pinnacle IMHO, starting with "A Farewell..." and a significant progress (!!) from the crude sound of "2112" and their earlier albums that signature large epic guitar-driven...
