Moving Pictures takes a novel historical approach to the making and recording of Rush's album by the same name. This 1981 release was a landmark record not only for Rush but also for the entirety of progressive rock.There's nothing else like it in the Rush catalog. Permanent Waves and Hemispheres were important releases in their evolution as a progressive band but neither provided the necessary commercial firepower to blast the Canadian trio into the stratosphere of rock stardom. Moving Pictures with its thematic work and positioning as the antithesis of a concept record balanced opposing creative sensibilities garnered the attention of radio programmers across North America and sold millions of copies around the globe.As the title of the record suggests each track projects unique filmic properties allowing the collective work to escape into the realm of the audiovisual. Unparalleled in the band's recorded output Moving Pictures boasts multisensory qualities such as a snarling synth portal opening the record (Tom Sawyer) pulse-quickening cyclical patterns corkscrewing through the genre fluid Vital Signs a spine-tingling sci-fi thrill ride thinly masking social commentary (Red Barchetta) technically precise musical jousting amid time signature changes (YYZ) chilling glimpses of a hellish torch-lit mob haunting Witch Hunt the wide-screen dual optics of The Camera Eye and a ferocious guitar tone taking a bite out of fame (Limelight). Put simply the seven-track offering solidified the band's global appeal and continues to inspire musicians of all walks of life?forty years after its release. This is its story.
