Album Notes Rush: Geddy Lee (vocals, synthesizer, bass); Alex Lifeson (guitar); Neal Peart (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Ben Mink (violin). Recorded at Le Studio, Quebec, Canada between April & July 1982. Rush: Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neal Peart. Additional personnel: Ben Mink (violin). Making the transition from the heavy-rocking '70s to the synthesizer-driven '80s, the power trio Rush embraced the new technology with open arms. After the 1981 smash album MOVING PICTURES, Rush decided to lead their cult of loyal fans down a slightly different musical route while continuing to maintain their high level of expertise. The result, SIGNALS, was a very unique album for the group and ushered in an era that focused their sound toward keyboard-centered orchestrations and tight, stylized arrangements. The driving opener "Subdivisions" is a powerful depiction of the sometimes bleak outlook of suburban life. The special effects of "Chemistry" and the shuffling "Digital Man" take on a futuristic slant befitting the group's new synthesizer-based sound. The most creative use of the technology comes with the mysterious "The Weapon," one of the group's darkest compositions. A more typical song is the up-beat "New World Man" which showcases the trio's strengths on top of a sequenced computer track. The grand finally comes with a very realistic description of the launch of NASA's space shuttle on the programmatic "Countdown."

Reviews  Signals MFSL CD - Great sound, great collectibleReview created: 06/29/08(updated 06/29/08) by:  All of Rush's studio albums sound really good (except Vapor Trails), and this is no exception, but the MFSL version is particularly great sounding. It has that warm sound MFSL is known for, plus there are a couple of variations unique to this release. On the song The Weapon, there is one line of lyrics missing, and The Analog Kid lasts a little bit longer. Although this release is out of print, it can still be bought at a reasonable price. Great album and great songs. This is the album that marks the beginning of my favorite era of Rush (through Hold Your Fire). Review ID: 10000000007739613 Was this review helpful?

Report this review MoFi Gold DiscsHave been searching high and low for the three Rush gold MoFi releases. Gold CDs really do make a difference in audio tone. Crisp is the best word to use. Signals never sounded so good. Review ID: 10000000005309624 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
