“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.

SONG DISCUSSION: YYZ
One of the best rock instrumentals ever, let alone from Rush. Exquisite timing and empathy from our three players. The longevity of YYZ was sealed by riveting themes, exchanges, and solo signatures so well-ordered that one cannot imagine it being any different than it is. Meant to represent departures, arrivals, and varying locations of air travel, it’s a nonstop thrill, and my goodness, that half-steppin’ bridge boogies hard. Every Rush instrumental has merit, but this one takes the cake in my eyes.
Thoughts? - Alex (not Lifeson)

The legend. Such strength and deep intensity. He made the drummer to be as equally famed as the front man of the band. Thank you Mr. Neil Peart.
