Rush ~ Overture/The Temples of Syrinx ~ Time Machine - Live in Cleveland [HD 1080p] [CC] 2011

Click on "CC" icon for Closed Captioning (Lyrics on Screen) "2112" (pronounced "twenty-one twelve") is the fourth studio album by Rush. Side one of the album is occupied by the 20-minute futuristic science fiction song "2112". "Overture/The Temples of Syrinx" are the first two parts presented in the seven part suite "2112". Since the album is named after the suite it is sometimes described as a concept album. Technically it is not, as the songs on the second side are completely unrelated to the plot of the suite. Rush repeated this arrangement on the 1978 album Hemispheres. The album was recorded at Toronto Sound Studios in February 1976 and released on April 1,1976 (or March 1976, according to some sources). Rush finished touring for its unsuccessful previous album Caress of Steel, in early 1976. The band was in financial hardship due to the album's disappointing sales, unfavorable critical reception, and a decline in attendance at its shows. The band's international label, Mercury Records, considered dropping Rush but granted the band one more album following negotiations with manager Ray Danniels. Though the label demanded more commercial material, the band decided to continue developing its progressive rock sound. 2112 was recorded in February 1976 in Toronto with longtime producer Terry Brown. Its centerpiece is the 20-minute title track, a futuristic science-fiction song that takes up the entire first side of the album. There are five individual tracks on side two. The atonal whirl of synthesizers opens the title track, bringing to mind the futuristic dystopia of "Megadon" , which is described in further detail in the album's liner notes. Before long, the epic piece begins with symphonically arranged power chords. This is proto-metal in the style of Tchaikovsky. Lee and Peart are as hyperactive as ever with the bass and drums performing frantic fills around Lifeson's huge sounding guitar. Lifeson's lead guitar is as driving and powerful as any contemporary rock band, but it has the signature excitably-high-strung style that is unique to Lifeson. As the opening section draws to its conclusions, among the sound of explosions, Lifeson plays a couple of licks of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, perhaps to destroy any ambiguity in the song's title. "Overture", the first section of this seven-part piece, draws to a close with its sole lyric - a line from a psalm: "and the meek shall inherit the earth." (Psalms 37:11 & Matthew 5:5) Part 2, "The Temples of Syrinx", is by far the heaviest piece the band had recorded thus far. A simple, straightforward heavy metal tune with a raucous and angry energy. The lyrics describe the rulers of Megadon - the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx. These leaders seem to be an amalgam of a communist council and religious pedagogues with their disdain of questioning and fanatical propaganda. It is interesting - particularly in the world that has become reality in the years since the song was written - that the Temples of Syrinx are filled with, of all things, "great computers". "2112" tells a story set in the city of Megadon in the year 2112, "where individualism and creativity are outlawed with the population controlled by a cabal of malevolent Priests who reside in the Temples of Syrinx". A galaxy-wide war resulted in the planets forcefully joining the Solar Federation (symbolized by the "Red Star"). By 2112, the world is controlled by the priests who take orders from giant banks of computers inside the temple. Music is unknown in this world absent of creativity and individuality, but in "Discovery", a nameless man finds a beaten guitar inside a cave and rediscovers the lost art of music. In "Presentation", the man takes the guitar to the priests at the temple, who say, "Yes, we know, it's nothing new; it's just a waste of time", and then proceed angrily to destroy it and banish him. Next, in "Oracle: The Dream", the man dreams of a new planet, established at the same time as the Solar Federation, where creative people live. He awakens, depressed that music is part of such a civilization and that he can never be part of it, and kills himself, in "Soliloquy". Another planetary war begins in "Grand Finale", resulting in the ambiguous spoken ending: "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation: We have assumed control". Peart described the ending as a "double surprise ... a real Hitchcock killer". Neil's voice as the "Elder Race" assumes control in this apocalyptic finale originally called "Denouement." Musically speaking, 2112 was the first album that Lifeson said "really sounded like Rush." Per Geddy: It's a gratifying album to play because I think it was the first album that our sound - the Rush sound - came together...It was our defining moment, to a certain degree.
