RUSH: Subdivisions (Edit) Radio DJ promotion copy 7″ + Red Barchetta.

Description

UK 45 Subdivisions ( Edit ) / Red Barchetta Promotional Copy Cat # D9 Rarest Of The UK Promos

If the first two Rush albums of the 80s showed the band becoming more streamlined in their writing, the third, 1982’s Signals, saw the band dive headfirst into the heady waters of new technology sweeping the decade. Predictably it didn’t sit too well with those hankering for Fountain Of Lamneth part two, accusing the band of sounding like The Police on the single New World Man. The pulsating synth sound that drives Subdivisions on has become a staple of the band’s live shows. The song itself returns to themes of alienation present in Moving Pictures’ Limelight.

Absolutely one of our all-time favorite tracks from one of my all-time favorite bands! Rush is simply epic, and this snapshot of life in the 80s is oh so familiar. God I miss the 80s, the music, the videos, the good times.?

Ahhh, how this brings me back to the 80s as a kid watching MTV (when they actually played videos) and thinking hmm! Rush then and still today are by far the best three piece in rock history. Sorry Cream fans! I love them too but from a technical standpoint, nobody is better than Rush!

Red Barchetta

Red Barchetta is here primarily because it highlights Neil Peart’s abilities as a story teller, which, as the 80s dawned, were taking on a more nuanced style. Here, inspired by Richard Foster’s 1973 short story A Nice Morning Drive, he tells the tale of a forbidden drive and high-speed chase, and the “gleaming alloy air car” always evoked memories of Luke Skywalker in his landspeeder. Barchetta, Italian for craft, also refers to two-seated vehicles in the motor world. Oh, it’s also got a killer riff.
