Box Set
A box set or (its original name) boxed set is a set of items (for example, a compilation of books, musical recordings, films or television programs) traditionally packaged in a box and offered for sale as a single unit. Music Artists and bands with an extremely long and successful career often have anthology or "essential" collections of their boxes of music released as box sets. These often include rare and never-before-released tracks. Some box sets collect previously released boxes of singles or albums by a music artist, and often collect the complete discography of an artist such as Pink Floyd's ''Oh, by the Way'' and ''Discovery'' sets. Sometimes bands release expanded versions of their most successful albums such as Pink Floyd's ''Immersion'' box set versions of their ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' (1973), ''Wish You Were Here'' (1975) and ''The Wall'' (1979) albums. Pink Floyd have also released ''The Early Years 1965–1972'' box set which features mostly unreleased mate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tom Sawyer (song)
"Tom Sawyer" is a song by Canadian rock band Rush, originally released on their 1981 album '' Moving Pictures'' as its opener. The band's lead singer, bassist, and keyboardist, Geddy Lee, has referred to the track as the band's "defining piece ... from the early '80s". It is one of Rush's best-known songs and a staple of both classic rock radio and Rush's live performances, having been played on every concert tour since its release. Background and recording The song was written by Geddy Lee, drummer Neil Peart, and guitarist Alex Lifeson in collaboration with lyricist Pye Dubois of the band Max Webster, who also co-wrote the Rush songs " Force Ten", "Between Sun and Moon", and "Test for Echo". According to the US radio show ''In the Studio with Redbeard'' (which devoted an episode to the making of ''Moving Pictures''), "Tom Sawyer" came about during a summer rehearsal vacation that Rush spent at Ronnie Hawkins' farm outside Toronto.

Temples Of Syrinx"
A temple (from the Latin ) is a building reserved for spiritual rituals and activities such as prayer and sacrifice. Religions which erect temples include Christianity (whose temples are typically called churches), Hinduism (whose temples are called Mandir), Buddhism, Sikhism (whose temples are called gurudwara), Jainism (whose temples are sometimes called derasar), Islam (whose temples are called mosques), Judaism (whose temples are called synagogues), Zoroastrianism (whose temples are sometimes called Agiary), the Baha'i Faith (which are often simply referred to as Baha'i House of Worship), Taoism (which are sometimes called Daoguan), Shinto (which are sometimes called Jinja), Confucianism (which are sometimes called the Temple of Confucius), and ancient religions such as the Ancient Egyptian religion and the Ancient Greek religion. The form and function of temples are thus very variable, though they are often considered by believers to be, in some sense, the "house" of ...

Red Sector A
"Red Sector A" is a song by Rush that provides a first-person account of a nameless protagonist living in an unspecified prison camp setting. "Red Sector A" first appeared on the band's 1984 album '' Grace Under Pressure''. Lyricist Neil Peart has stated that the detailed imagery in the song intentionally evokes concentration camps of the Holocaust, although he left the lyrics ambiguous enough that they could deal with any similar prison camp scenario. The song was inspired in part by Geddy Lee's mother's accounts of the Holocaust. In a rare instance for Rush's music, the track features no bass guitar, with Lee instead completely focusing on synthesizers and vocals. Background Geddy Lee explained the genesis of the song in an interview: In a 1984 interview Neil Peart describes writing "Red Sector A": Song title The song's title "Red Sector A" comes from the name of a NASA launch area at Kennedy Space Center, where the band watched the first launch of Space Shuttle ...

New World Man
"New World Man" is a hit single from the 1982 album ''Signals'' by Canadian rock band Rush. The song was the last and most quickly composed song on the album, stemming from a suggestion by then-Rush producer Terry Brown to even out the lengths of the two sides of the cassette version. It went to #1 (on the ''RPM'' national singles chart) in Canada, where it remained for two weeks in October 1982. It was the only single by a Canadian act to top the ''RPM'' chart that year. Less successful in the United States, it nonetheless remains Rush's only American Top 40 hit, peaking at No. 21 on the ''Billboard'' singles chart in October and November 1982. On the '' Cashbox'' Top 100, it peaked at No. 35. It also hit No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' Top Tracks chart (the first Rush single to do so). "New World Man" reached No. 42 in the United Kingdom.

The Spirit Of Radio
"The Spirit of Radio" is a song by Canadian rock band Rush, released from their 1980 album ''Permanent Waves''. The song's name was inspired by Toronto-based radio station CFNY-FM's slogan. It was significant in the growing popularity of the band, becoming their first top 30 single in Canada and reaching number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It remains one of their best-known songs and was a concert staple. Background The introduction of the song was composed in a mixolydian mode scale built on E; most of the rest, barring repetitions of the introductory guitar riff, is in conventional E major. Guitarist Alex Lifeson explained the song's opening riff as "I just wanted to give it something that gave it a sense of static – radio waves bouncing around, very electric. We had that sequence going underneath, and it was just really to try and get something that was sitting on top of it, that gave it that movement." "The Spirit of Radio" features the band experimenting with a regg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
YYZ (instrumental)
"YYZ" is an instrumental rock composition by the band Rush from their 1981 album '' Moving Pictures''. It is one of the band's most popular pieces and was a staple of the band's live performances.

Stage Left'' (1981) and the concert video recording ''A Show of Hands'' (1989) both include versions in which Neil Peart incorporates a drum soloas an interlude on the former, and as a segue out of the piece on the latter. Title and composition YYZ is the IATA airport identification code of Toronto Pearson International Airport, near Rush's hometown. The band was introduced to the rhythm as Alex Lifeson flew them into the airport. A VHF omnidirectional range system at the airport broadcasts the YYZ identifier code in Morse code. Peart said in interviews later that the rhythm stuck with them. Peart and Geddy Lee have both said "It's always a happy day when ''YYZ'' appears on our luggage tags."

Freewill (Rush Song)
"Freewill" is the second track on the 1980 album ''Permanent Waves'' by Canadian progressive rock band Rush. The song's music was composed by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, and its lyrics written by Neil Peart. In a 2016 review of Rush discography for Ultimate Classic Rock, Eduardo Rivadavia described "Freewill" as a "cerebral but remarkably radio-friendly" song. Lee has stated that the final verse of "Freewill" is at the highest part of his vocal range. The song is included in several of the band's compilation albums, including '' Retrospective I'', '' The Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974–1987'', ''Gold'', and ''Time Stand Still: The Collection''. It is now a staple of album-oriented rock stations. It was one of six songs in Rush's set for the Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto (colloquially referred to as "SARStock").
