Naturally, we tend to overlook the relative brevity of human time. But the ancient ones are not so far away. Our most distant generators not so removed. Today we still witness the same cosmic centers, still wonder and worship beneath the same stars. Our gaze is lifted by the same wind. The builders of myth and mound are present in all things, and their voices reach us in whispers, carrying us to their lands. In these sacred places, marked for us by the elders, the voice of the Earth rings true. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Hemispheres was one of our most challenging and demanding records to make,” says Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson. “From its inception in a Wales farmhouse where it was written over a 4 week span,” Lifeson continues, “to the very difficult mixing sessions in two London recording studios, it stands as a key transitional album in Rush’s long recording history.”
.
Hemispheres, Rush’s sixth studio album, was originally released in October 1978. The album’s first track, “Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres,” encompasses the entirety of Side 1 on the original release and was the logical, heady continuation of the epic album-ending Kings track, “Cygnus X-1.” Side 2 commences with the hard-driving commentary on English culture “Circumstances,” followed by the socially aware and environmentally conscious FM radio hit “The Trees,” and concluded with the instrumental tour de force and longtime concert favorite, “La Villa Strangiato.”
.
Hemispheres- 40th Anniversary will be available to fans in four distinct configurations, including the 1) Super Deluxe Edition, (2) two-CD Deluxe Edition, (3) three-LP Deluxe Edition, and (4) Deluxe Digital Edition. Click link in bio to read about all the goodies & pre-order.
