I heard differently

Guitarist Alex Lifeson told the magazine, "We were never happy with the production. Perhaps we should have taken more time over the record. But now we've got the chance to improve things." He added, "There will be no re-recording, just a remix."

The 2 re mixed songs on the greatest hits cd(OLV and Earthshine) were light years better than the original so a remix would be just fine by me.

One Little Victory sounded much better, but I wasn't crazy about how the Earthshine remix sounded. Maybe I'm just used to how it sounds on VT, but it felt like parts of the sound were missing.

Regardless, getting the whole VT album remixed is pretty exciting news.

I wasn't keen on the remix of "Earthshine" either. While it sounded "cleaner," it took away some of the power and rawness of it.

Regarding said news of a possible remix of Vapor Trails, I went to ultimate-guitar to look for a tab and this caught my attention on the front page https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/rush_remix_vapor_trails.html

You fans are lucky, I tell ya.

ytserush · « **Reply #636 on:** February 08, 2011, 04:05:52 PM »

I liked the One Little victory remix, but not Earthshine.

The mixes on the Vapor Trails promotional singles and the interview disc are different from the album, but I can't recall how they fared against the album as I always want to listen to the whole album and not just a song or two.

I suppose if I were smart, I'd just add those mixes before the album on another disc.

From https://musictap.net/:

"Alex Lifeson of Rush has let it be known that a 5.1 mix of Moving Pictures (1981) is being readied as well as a 5.1 remix of Vapor Trails (2002). No release dates set for the time being. In addition, the Rush Universal albums are being slated for a remaster/reissue campaign (no word on which precise titles nor a release date). Their last remaster campaign was The 1997 Rush Remasters."

I don't know how many of us have the capability to listen to music in 5.1, but this is damned exciting for me. Unfortunately, no format has been specified, but there is an increasing amount of music being released in 5.1 on Blu-ray, plus SACD and DVD-A aren't quite dead yet. SACD has actually seen something of a resurgence lately, as Sony has included SACD decoding in all their recent Blu-ray players, and Oppo (recognized as the maker of universal players) has always supported SACD.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I too have an oppo blu ray player so I am fine with whatever format they release it in, be it DVD-A, SACD, or bluray audio.

Orbert · « **Reply #639 on:** February 09, 2011, 03:32:41 PM »

Then you and I will be all set. We can post about how awesome Moving Pictures sounds in remastered 5.1 surround while others look on and weep.

But these are remixes, why in the world would he ever be singing?

If I didn't know any better I'd say you're just taking a cheap opportunity to take a stab at Steven Wilson...

I just though of something though... I don't think they could have possibly picked two worse albums to do 5.1 on. Vapor Trails has 0 keyboards and Moving Pictures will have a live 5.1 mix once the Cleveland DVD is out.

I haven't heard/read anything that indicated that VT would get the 5.1 treatment... but even if it did, there's layers of guitars on there that could be spread out amongst the audio tracks.

As for MP, it's the 30th anniversary, so it's important as a release. I mean, the King Crimson re-issues were done out of order, but to celebrate the debut's 40th anniversary, it was released first. I think releasing the band's most well-known and popular album first would be smart, especially since it's the anniversary AND the band is promoting it by playing the whole album live.

I think if they wanted to re-issue them like King Crimson is doing it, they could pick one album from each of their 3 "phases" from their Universal albums. Perhaps, first wave would be like MP, 2112 and GUP. Second wave would be PEW, POW and FBN. Third wave would then be AFTK, COS and HYF. Fourth wave would be HEMI, SIG and RUSH.
... or something like that. They could release four sets of 3 albums each, every 3-4 months, and get them all out over a year.

ZBomber · « **Reply #646 on:** February 09, 2011, 07:41:14 PM »

They'd probably do 5.1 for VT because they said they wanted to remix the album anyways. Would be the best time to do it, most likely.

Hopefully the other albums will follow suit soon after this.

Just wanted to say that Hemispheres was the song/album that first got me into prog. So epic, so good!

It was the best moment of my live and still is until I see it again on April 1st.

It was epic indeed. Was one of the first to see it live too, the whole set was great. Fit the theme well.

I've had Snakes & Arrows since its release. I've heard countless other Rush songs and albums, but none grab me like this one. Hearing that someone involved with the creation of this album audio-wise is going to be working with DT excited me and inspired me to give S&A a spin.

Alex Lifeson rips the heart of the guitar. Also, while I'm at it, this album's sound is phenomenal.

You need the 5.1 of S & A. What a eargasm with Lifeson being split on different channels.

Armor and Sword is my favorite Rush song, actually. The whole CD is badass but that song sticks out. Far Cry is amazing life, much more than I thought it would be at least.

Update:

Supposedly both CD/DVD and CD/BD packages will be available on April 5, 2011, but that's all it says on https://musictap.net/. I'm excited, but I'm gonna hold off on any more updates from this site until there's some kind of confirmation. I honestly don't know much about it, including how accurate it has proven to be.

Confirmation from Planet Rock: Rush Reveal Moving Pictures Reissue

Audiophiles are going to love the new version of the 1981 classic

In April the band will reissue Moving Pictures as a CD/DVD and CD/Blu Ray. The album will contain the original album on CD and a 5.1 surround mix of the album on the DVD or Blu Ray, which will also contain the music videos for 'Tom Sawyer', 'Limelight' and 'Vital Signs.'

The 5.1 Surround Sound remix of Moving Pictures was handled by Canadian producer/engineer Richard Chycki �€” who is known for his work with Aerosmith and Our Lady Peace, and who teamed up with Nick Raskulinecz on Rush's last studio album, 2007's "Snakes & Arrows". He recently wrote on his official blog, "I finished tweaks on 'Red Barchetta' [on February 3]. It really was an amazing experience to spread the original tracks of such a classic CD into the 3D word of surround. (The car speeds off, goes behind and banks a sharp right in rear, [by the way]). The listening experience is drastically enveloping and coupled with songs and performances that epitomize this band, it's definitely a great time to re-discover RUSH.

"After discussion with the band, the goal here was to pay serious homage to the production of the era so a considerable amount of time was spent researching and working through effects, etc. that matched the original but would fare well in the 5.1 world. And, of course, placement was also a critical issue. I'm pleased with the results and Alex Lifeson was pretty blown away when he came in to listen to the finals."

Here's the CD/DVD contents:

Disc 1:
01. Tom Sawyer
02. Red Barchetta
03. YYZ
04. Limelight
05. The Camera Eye
06. Witch Hunt
07. Vital Signs

Disc 2:
01. Tom Sawyer (Audiophile 5.1 Surround and Stereo)
02. Red Barchetta (Audiophile 5.1 Surround and Stereo)
03. YYZ (Audiophile 5.1 Surround and Stereo)
04. Limelight (Audiophile 5.1 Surround and Stereo)
05. The Camera Eye (Audiophile 5.1 Surround and Stereo)
06. Witch Hunt (Audiophile 5.1 Surround and Stereo)
07. Vital Signs (Audiophile 5.1 Surround and Stereo)
08. Tom Sawyer (Music Video - 5.1 & Stereo)
09. Limelight (Music Video - 5.1 & Stereo)
10. Vital Signs (Music Video - 5.1 & Stereo)

They were supposed to finish the CD and have it released for the fall or close to the end of this year but the demand for the tour has pushed it back to next year like the link you gave.
