Hi Stuart I love all eras of Rush, especially their more synth based albums like Signals, Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows. If you like Moving Pictures then you should like these. Permanent Waves is well worth a listen too. Hold Your Fire, Presto and Roll the Bones are great and Counterparts, Test For Echo and Vapor Trails are much more heavier in sound. Snakes and Arrows is pure class and a real return to form. Ginnie what year did you stop listening to them? I'm not sure. Could have been a budget issue or I started listening to someone else. For some reason in the eighties I bought a bunch of albums from new artists which turned out to be mediocre instead of getting new albums by people I listened to in the seventies. Except for Bowie. I bought everything of his till 1986. And Neil Young - though I could've done without Trans, Old Ways, Landing on Water, LIFE....he got back on track with Freedom.

I think my favorite synth/keyboard centered recording of all time is Spartacus by Triumvirat. Incredible concept album that chronicles the slave revolt against Rome headed by the Gladiator Spartacus. It's got a bit of an ELP-esque vibe in places, but it's a little more mainstream and accessible. I HIGHLY recommend it!!! Vic turned me on to Triumvirat a few months ago (Illusions on a Double Dimple). Really good stuff - I like them even more than ELP because they have more vocals and guitar. Yeah, Spartacus is really good too.

Right at this point, then — the verge of the Eighties — ____ should be ready for a major new move, or a major synthesis. He ought to be ready to confirm himself as he's never really done before. The momentum is there. _____ might have been an event, if only as a record we would someday look back on as work that mapped the territory between past and future. Instead, it's just another LP, and one of his weakest at that: scattered, a footnote to "______", an act of marking time.
"___________" begins the set. It's anything but ______, and that's the point, because it's a song about the coming depression, general entropy, rampant criminality and vague resistance. It's singularly ill-written and musically empty; the horrors it means to summon up never coalesce into a threat
Artist and album
