I can give or take rush nowadays but today I'm listening to everything from 2112 to Perment Waves.Hopefully this could rekindle my love for them.I'll be back with a verdict.

Rush still gets regular spins from me. S&A was a great album. Clap

Yep, Snakes and Arrows by far has the most listens of any album that I own, since it came out.  I gave it another listen just last week.  There are benefits to being a fanboy.  You can generate much more enjoyment from certain albums than others are able to generate. LOL

S&A was damn good indeed.  Rush's 2007 gig in Glasgow was probably one of the best gigs I've ever been to (kinda hard to decide between that and Jeff Waynes War Of The Worlds that I went to this year)

I don't know if any of your are into hi definition music (SACD, DVD-A, DTS 96/24).  The MVI version of S&A was awsome for the 5.1 uncompressed sound.  I have the regular CD as well and I would repurchase all of their albums again if they would re-master them and release hi-def surround versions of them.  (But in all honesty I would prefer a DVD-Audio to the MVI. The extras were nice but I think the resolution of a DVD-A is better). 

My favourite album though will always be the one that introduced me to them which was A Farewell to Kings.  and the S&A was a very nice and refreshing return to a modern version of that energy, style and composition.

In any case I digress.  I would be interested to know how many people (Rush and Progressive Rock fans especially!!) are into or own the equipment for hi-def surround music?

Progressive Rock and Sci-Fi are the staples of life. (At least of mine anyways.)

I wish I had the funds for it. A buddy of mine keeps going on and on about how spectacular the Genesis 5.1 discs sound.

For now (at least), I'm rollin' old school, yo.

I still firmly believe that Snakes & Arrows was Rush's best disc since Power Windows.

I try to use as much as possbile the 5.1 equipement when i listen music with my computer and with my cd player. Of course, when the source is 5.1. But sometimes i am not satisfied with the lack of power coming from the front speakers and when there's too much power in the rear speakers. I am in the experiment stage with the 5.1 technology. I got a lot more DVD to test then cd at the moment.

For those we haven't seen the movie "Fanboys", i never seen a hommage to Rush so cleary express in a movie. The best publicity for the band, if they need some...Wink
