Moving pictures : how Rush created progressive hard rock's greatest record
Romano, Will, 1970-2023
Books, Manuscripts
'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.
