Rush
A multi-part epic that travels to outer space, a tune inspired by a Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem, a permanent radio favorite, a band embracing art without limitations, and much more: Rush explores thrilling directions on A Farewell to Kings. Making good use of rare down time and favorable circumstances at Rockfield Studios in Wales, the Canadian trio advances the incorporation of electronic instrumentation into its work and expands its vocabulary on a landmark renowned for adventurousness, musicianship, songwriting, and sonics. Mastered at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's California studio from tape contained in boxes that show both "master" and "safety copy" on their labels, and housed in mini-LP-style packaging, MoFi's hybrid SACD presents the group's 1977 effort in definitive sound on disc. Transparency, dynamics, and presence have tremendous value on A Farewell to Kings, especially given how the album was produced. Its prolific detail extends to the colors, textures, and tones in songs and how they fueled Rush's ambitions, from recording outside in a courtyard to nailing the complex "Xanadu" in a single take. Hear the results like never before on an album Geddy Lee believes holds up as well as any in the Rush catalog. A Farewell to Kings is sound and fury, Rush barreling headlong into mystery and searching for something more.
