{"product_id":"rush-2112","title":"Rush 2112","description":"Lyricists: Geddy Lee; Alex Lifeson; Neil Peart.\r\nPersonnel: Geddy Lee (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Alex Lifeson (guitar); Hugh Syme (keyboards); Neil Peart (drums, percussion).\r\nRecording information: Toronto Sound Studios, Toronto, Canada (1976 02).\r\nPhotographers: G?rard Gentil; Yosh Inouye.\r\nArrangers: Rush Brown; Rush; Terry Brown.\r\n2112 is archetypal high-concept heavy\/art-rock, featuring an interconnected suite of songs and a futuristic science fiction-inspired lyrical theme (courtesy of drummer\/sole lyricist Neil Peart). When it came to '70s sci fi rock epics these guys were capable of giving Hawkwind and Jefferson Starship a run for their money. The first half of the album features \"2112\" proper, a series of interrelated tunes that paint a portrait of a 1984\/Brave New World-style future, where music and emotion are outlawed. Ultimately, our hero discovers a guitar and uses it to fight the powers that be, all to the accompaniment of vaguely Led Zeppelin-derived heavy rock riffs and daunting time signatures. The final five tunes are unrelated to the concept piece but continue in a similar musical vein, though a little balladry is mixed in towards the end.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 5\/6\/1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rush","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46186885841137,"sku":"76UEUN-4PPU-U4","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4401\/5345\/files\/rush-2112_xEtHS.jpg?v=1748727907","url":"https:\/\/outofthepastrecords.com\/products\/rush-2112","provider":"Out of the Past Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
