Rush Archives

It’s nice to see that some industry folks are taking notice of the “loudness” issue in today’s music. To keep it Rush-relevant, the production of Moving Pictures highlights everything that is good about keeping some space/layers in your music. Who knows what Vapor Trails could have sounded like if it were produced/mastered using the same techniques?

Busy days at the office over the last month have left me wiped out and trying to minimize my time online while at home. Ironically, here I am after a week abroad on business – the evening before I fly home, feeling rather crappy (must have caught a bug) and having skipped dinner (at a great restaurant) with my colleagues – writing down my thoughts on Snakes & Arrows. That’s what you get when there’s nothing on TV that’s in English. (more…)

Today’s the day… Can’t wait to get my hands on Snakes & Arrows and give it it’s first full listen. Sucky thing is that I’ll have to wait until later tonight when everyone is asleep. That’s the only way I’ll be able to listen to it uninterrupted. It’ll be interesting to read the various forums out there… to see what the general consensus is.

Also received notification that my Musictoday tickets have shipped.

Life is good!

Yeeesh. An enthusiastic review would be a shock after all these years of recycled crap like this.
