Ghost: Skeletá 2025 [Digipack / CD]

September 2019.<br/><br/>Allt började väldigt enkelt. <br/>Jag var lite mindre trött på mig själv än vanligt och hade en låtidé där det fanns en liten gnista av magi.<br/>Jag skrev en text med intentionen att sjunga själv för första gången på flera år.<br/>Det var vansinnigt roligt. <br/> <br/>Det bästa med allt var att min röst lät annorlunda. Stadig men mjuk och luftig. Inte alls som jag mindes den. Ett stort plus i min bok.<br/>Det var som om ett Frankensteins monster av konstruerat självförtroende och hävdelsebehov plötsligt upphört att existera.<br/>Jag skrev klart, arrade, spelade in alla instrument, sjöng och producerade den under två dagar.<br/>Låten gjorde mig både glad och vemodig i all sin enkelhet men insikten som följde var inte odelat positiv:<br/>Detta är inledningen på ett eget album. Som jag i min enfald lovat dyrt och heligt att aldrig göra.<br/>Men det fanns något i historien som berättas i den där första låten. Något som var rakt på sak, som lyste upp det där området i tankarna där saker man glömt fast man inte borde gömmer sig.<br/>Jag satte upp ett tunt regelverk kring arbetet:<br/>Det ska bara ske när jag har 100% feeling.<br/>Det ska vara kul. Inga krav. I min egen takt. I min egen studio.<br/>Allt ska vara sant, så långt det ens är möjligt, eller i alla fall ett ärligt försök att tränga genom cigarettröksdimman som döljer ens förflutna.<br/>Sist men inte minst: Undvik sökta metaforer och liknelser (det går väl fortfarande sådär). Jag bestämde mig för att färdigställa fem låtar utan att prata om det eller låta någon annan lyssna.<br/>Mest för att komma in i flödet och undvika att reagera på kommentarer utifrån.<br/>Även åsikter i all välmening kan få en så skör liten fågel som en låt att flyga huvudet före in i altandörrsfönstret.<br/>I ärlighetens namn så är det också oemotståndligt att dröja sig kvar i en hemmabyggd drömvärld och bara få äga den ensam en liten stund.<br/>Inget blir någonsin som man tänkt sig, och den här samlingen sånger är inget undantag.<br/>De låter inte som det jag föreställde mig när jag började. Men jag har verkligen försökt låta tonerna och texterna ta de vägar de ville utan att blanda in hjärnan i processer den inte har med att göra.<br/>Så de 11låtar som gick i mål är helt enkelt de som träffade mig hårdast.<br/>Det är bara att ödmjukt kapitulera inför faktum.<br/>Det är väl det här jag gillar. Idag.<br/>Hoppas ni gillar det också.<br/><br/>Tack och förlåt.<br/> <br/>Joakim Berg

Amaranthe: Maximalism 2016 [CD]

Dr Dre: 2001 1999 [CD]

Grace Under Pressure, Rush's tenth studio album, was originally released in April 1984, and it features some key sonic-template modifications resulting from the band's decision to further evolve its sound by enlisting a new producer after a successful decade of working with Terry Brown behind the board. The eight songs comprising Grace Under Pressure build from where September 1982's Signals left off by fully embracing the tech and temper of the times while still remaining true to the band's knack for blending progressive roots with radio-welcome song arrangements. Grace Under Pressure was co-produced by Rush with Peter Henderson and engineered by Paul Northfield with assistance from Frank Opolko and Robert Di Giola. It was the fourth in a series of Rush recording sessions ultimately held at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec. Rush's instinctive recording process at Le Studio had been DNA-infused during sessions held there for the aforementioned Signals, in addition to February 1981's Moving Pictures and January 1980's Permanent Waves.<br/> <br/>"...our songwriting had taken us to a different musical place, says Geddy Lee, "an expansion of our soundscape with a range of new technologies, not just keyboards and samples, but electronic drums too, while getting to know the new dude behind the console with a very different working style."<br/> <br/>"Distant Early Warning," the lead-off track on Grace Under Pressure, announces the clear directional shift. "Afterimage" is a heartfelt reflection on the unexpected passing of someone close to the band that leads right into the confines of "Red Sector A," a chilling tale of incarceration, intimidation, and uncertainty. Side A closes out with the inner-reflective "The Enemy Within," subtitled "Part One of Fear." (The "Fear" trilogy was presented in reverse order, with Part Two, "The Weapon," appearing on Signals, and Part Three, "Witch Hunt," debuting on Moving Pictures.)<br/> <br/>Side B commences with the humanoid escape drama that is "The Body Electric," while "Kid Gloves" acts as stay-tough sequel of sorts to the sound of its Signals antecedent "The Analog Kid," and the skittery "Red Lenses" captures mile-a-minute thoughts of anxiety, all propelled by a loping low-end riff. The album closes with the widening gyre of "Between The Wheels," a track that became a latter-day concert favorite during Rush's final R40 tour.<br/><br/>The limited-edition version of the Super Deluxe Edition includes four CDs, one Blu-ray, and a 52-page hardcover book. CD1 features the album's original 1984 stereo mix newly remastered from the original analog stereo master tapes by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios. Although Grace Under Pressure was the first Rush studio album not produced by Terry Brown after a decade long healthy working relationship, CD2 now features Brown's brand-new stereo mix of the album, as created from the original studio album's analog multitracks. To get the ball rolling, Brown reached out directly to surviving bandmembers Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee. Regarding his involvement, Brown confirmed that he "suggested it to Alex and Ged by saying to them, 'Let me do a couple of tunes. If you love it, we can move forward.' As it turned out, they did love it." Brown's goals for his remix were quite pure. "I had to give the guys something they would be excited about," the producer continued, "so I went for a little more detail, different reverbs, and a larger footprint, all while maintaining the integrity of the original record." <br/> <br/>CD3 and CD4 present the first-ever complete setlist of the show Rush performed on September 21, 1984, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, which was also newly mixed from the original multitrack audio masters and has now been retitled Grace Under Pressure Tour: Live in Toronto 1984. <br/> <br/>The Blu-ray features the above concert on video newly edited & newly remastered in HD with the audio soundtrack offered in 48kHz/24-bit Dolby Atmos, 96kHz/24-bit Dolby TrueHD 5.1, and 96kHz/24-bit PCM stereo options, all newly mixed by Terry Brown. Its previous incarnation as 1986's Grace Under Pressure Tour concert home video and CD was somewhat incomplete, and this new full concert experience features 37 minutes of unreleased performances. <br/> <br/>Also on the Blu-ray, the full 1984 studio album is newly mixed in 48kHz/24-bit Dolby Atmos and 96kHz/24-bit Dolby TrueHD 5.1 by longtime band associate, producer/engineer Richard Chycki, from the original album's multitracks along with the newly remastered 192kHz/24-bit and 96kHz/24-bit PCM stereo. Observed Chycki, "Listening to Grace Under Pressure in Atmos, you can really hear Rush's progress and development as artists, because there's much more room in the 360-degree soundfield to express it. Things that may have just gone by you in stereo now appear in separate speakers without being gimmicky. Instead, they act as micro-features for the Atmos listener to better appreciate the band's intent."<br/> <br/>Additionally, on the Blu-ray, Terry Brown's new album remix is presented in 96kHz/24-bit PCM stereo, along with the band's music videos for "Distant Early Warning," "Afterimage," "The Enemy Within," and "The Body Electric," all of which have been visually remastered in HD and presented in 96kHz/24-bit Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and 48kHz/24-bit PCM stereo. ("The Enemy Within" was the very first music video shown by Canadian TV channel MuchMusic, now known as Fuse, on August 31, 1984.)<br/> <br/>The Super Deluxe Edition of Grace Under Pressure will also include new liner notes penned by Geddy Lee, reflecting on his memories of finding a new producer for the album and reminiscing on a recent re-listen of the album proper. Original album designer Hugh Syme re-imagines the original album cover along with creating brand-new illustrations for each of the album's eight songs and other related visual elements in the book. Exclusive bonus collectibles in the box include a custom acrylic Grace Under Pressure LED light-up display; a replica of the Grace Under Pressure tour book; a replica Maple Leaf Gardens/Toronto show concert ticket; a Grace Under Pressure Tour total access backstage pass; "Pressure Release" a replica of the 6-page press release; three bandmember live photo lithos; and a poster from the Toronto show. All contents are housed in a premium lift-top box.<br/> <br/>The second Grace Under Pressure configuration will be released in is a five-LP plus Blu-ray Super Deluxe Edition, which is the analog equivalent of the four-CD edition. The LPs in the Super Deluxe Edition have been cut at Abbey Road Studios and pressed on 180-gram audiophile black vinyl at GZ Media in the Czech Republic. <br/> <br/>Both the 4LP + Blu-ray and 5LP + Blu-ray Super Deluxe Editions will also be offered at the Rush Backstage online store with 3 exclusive bonus lithos of Hugh Syme's new illustrations.<br/> <br/>The third Grace Under Pressure configuration will be the Super Deluxe Digital Edition, which is the digital equivalent to the physical Super Deluxe Edition audio tracks. <br/> <br/>The fourth configuration, the Dolby Atmos Digital Edition, is the digital equivalent of Richard Chycki's Atmos mix of all eight tracks from the original 1984 album. <br/> <br/>Finally, the fifth configuration is the Grace Under Pressure Tour: Live in Toronto 1984 newly edited, mixed and visually remastered in HD concert video made available to video DSPs.<br/><br/>ABOUT RUSH<br/> <br/>Rush - bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist/vocalist Alex Lifeson, and the late, great drummer/lyricist Neil Peart - maintains a large and uniquely passionate worldwide fanbase that acknowledges and respects the band's singular, bold, and perpetually exploratory songcraft that combines sterling musicianship, complex compositions, and distinctive lyrical flair.
