Moving Pictures

Description

This re-release features 20-bit digital remastering from
the original master tapes and deluxe packaging faithful to the original album
release. Track listing: “Tom Sawyer,” “Red Barchetta,” “YYZ,” “Limelight,”
“The Camera Eye,” “Witch Hunt” and “Vital Signs.” With Moving
Pictures, Rush’s complex songwriting and musical virtuosity reached new
heights. It’s that rarest of creatures, a highly listenable progressive-rock
album; even the all-instrumental “YYZ” is of interest to listeners besides
musicians. The highlight of the album is “Limelight”; like many progressive-
rock bands, Rush writes songs about the experience of being on-stage. The
result is impressive, with almost orchestral arrangements that never overwhelm
the actual music. “Tom Sawyer,” another classic, is on this album, as well as
the science-fiction-meets-road-movie “Red Barchetta,” the epic “The Camera
Eye,” the cautionary “Witch Hunt,” and “Vital Signs,” which takes advantage of
the budding digital sound technology available at the time the album was
recorded. This is probably Rush’s best album; it’s definitely their most
accessible. –Genevieve Williams
