Dem Vinyl Boyz EP 85 - RUSH - Moving Pictures

In this electrifying episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we turn up the amps to explore Rush's seminal album "Moving Pictures," released in 1981. This album is often hailed as a pinnacle of progressive rock, perfectly blending the complexity of prog with the accessibility of mainstream rock music. "Moving Pictures" is where Rush's intricate compositions meet universal appeal, resulting in a record that is both critically acclaimed and beloved by fans.

Featuring iconic tracks like "Tom Sawyer," "Red Barchetta," and the instrumental masterpiece "YYZ," "Moving Pictures" showcases the band's technical proficiency and creative ambition. Each song not only stands out for its musicianship but also for its narrative depth, weaving stories that capture the imagination of listeners.

Throughout this episode, we'll dive deep into the making of "Moving Pictures," discussing how each track was crafted and the innovative recording techniques used. We'll explore the lyrical themes of alienation and the modern human condition, as well as the album's iconic cover art, which cleverly plays into the album's title with multiple visual puns.

Join us on Dem Vinyl Boyz as we dissect "Moving Pictures," an album that not only represents the zenith of Rush's artistic achievement but also left a lasting imprint on the rock genre. We'll reflect on its ongoing influence and how it continues to inspire musicians and music lovers alike.

For decades, people who enjoyed music on vinyl records instead of CDs or MP3s were considered dinosaurs. While we like moving at 33 RPM, the rest of the world rushed and went to digital. Not only did vinyl refuse to die but demand is at its highest since at least 1991. It's a good thing Dem Vinyl Boyz saved all their records from back in the day. Because, now we have the biggest collection of 12-inch records on the radio.  Dem Vinyl Boyz love the joy of sliding a classic album out of its cover; the crackle of a needle just dropped into a groove; the careful way to pick up and flip a record when a side ends. On the podcast each week we feature a different piece of music history on vinyl record. Dem Vinyl Boyz experience the album front and back, giving you commentary and music facts along the way. Put your ear buds in and let us take you on a musically journey listening to the greatest music of all time and the history of how it became legendary. Dem Vinyl Boyz! Respect The Technique
