Parts of this CD are played during the Snakes and Arrows concert tour while the audience is waiting for the show to start. The songs are the same from city to city and the list was put together by Neil Peart himself.
Obviously Rush is not upset at this tribute. The parts I heard at the concert (Overture and Temple of Syrinx) were very well done. Knowing what it sounds like, I would buy it. But I can see how some can and would be unhappy upon listening to the arrangements the first time.
Listen and judge with an open mind and you should not be diappointed. |

 How could you "tribute" Rush with this? It's a disgrace!

Three thumbs down! One from Neil, one from Alex, and one from Geddy I'm sure!!! My God, I can not wait until Vitamin Records either goes out of business or wake's up and starts doing recordings with real talent. These sound like midi files - and not just the Rush, but everything I've heard from them. The Iron Maiden disc is pathetic, as is the new Dream Theater.
Be warned, do not buy this CRAP! That's what they are putting out. If there are real players playing this, they sound like they're on the middle school level. It's quite a shame. There is some beautiful music that these great musicians in these bands wrote and vitamin records is wiping their butts with it and laughing all the way to the bank. Do NOT support them and spread the word. |

i honestly only bought this for comedy purposes, but i had no idea what i was in for!
this is possibly one of the worst CDs ever produced, tribute or otherwise. the orchestration is incredibly sub par, and hugely aggravating.
i was also largely disappointed to discover that it was put out in 2005. i was REALLY hoping for some late 70's/early 80's action. i should have paid more attention, i guess.
also, from the sound of things, the only song with actual violin instrumentation (beyond the first violin) is passage to bankok (which is one of the dumbest songs ever written anyway). the rest of them reek of synthesizer (i think i actually have some of the same string samples!).
and lastly, at virtually no point is the instrumentation actually a string quartet.
i would really like to hang out with the two dudes who made this. i am betting that they are supremely insane. this one is definitely getting played at parties when i want people to leave. |

| This one is the cool one! Hearing the classic RUSH tunes performed by a quartet will give you a whole new appreciation for the compositions and arrangements the wonderful trio from Canada have given to us. |
