The duality concept of Apollo  (left), and of Dionysus  (right) addressed on "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres" is represented on the front cover artwork.

The cover was designed by longtime Rush collaborator, graphic artist Hugh Syme. The front depicts a figure that resembles the one in the painting The Son of Man by surreal artist René Magritte who is standing on the left side of a human brain. He is looking in the direction of a nude man in a ballet pose who is standing on the right side. The overall image was Syme's own creation, but it developed from discussions with Peart about the left and right and the Apollonian and Dionysian parts of the brain, itself a theme covered in Peart's lyrics to "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres". The Magritte figure is Syme's longtime friend Bobby King, who was also the nude model for Rush's Starman logo on 2112 that Syme had also designed. The naked male is a dancer from the Toronto Ballet School. The brain was loaned to Syme from the Department of Anatomy at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine for him to photograph and the final design was completed with a composite. The background was a combination of airbrush and paint. Syme started working on the design before he had heard any music on the album. [22]

Release

Prior to its release, Hemispheres aired in its entirety on Rick Ringer's radio show on CHUM-FM in Toronto, on October 5, 1978, with the band as studio guests. [11] Its release in stores followed on October 24, and reached number 14 on the Canadian Albums Chart [23] and UK Albums Chart, [24] and number 47 on the US Billboard 200. [25] For a short time, Hemispheres was released in Canada on red vinyl [7] with a gatefold sleeve with a poster and as a limited edition picture disc.

The album had a strong impact upon release, and marked the first time Rush received widespread FM radio exposure helped by "Circumstances" and "The Trees" being shorter and radio friendly. [7] The album reached Platinum in Canada and Gold in the US by mid-December 1978, [7] and Silver in the UK. [26] It proved to be a steady seller in the band's catalogue, reaching Platinum certification in the US in 1993 for selling one million copies, 15 years after its release. [27]

Shortly after Hemispheres was released, Lee said the band intend to "break tradition" and avoid long, conceptual pieces on their next album. [7]

Geoff Barton gave Hemispheres three stars in Sounds in an article where he pondered if it "is a masterwork or a mistake". On one hand, he said the album is "a lovingly crafted, highly complex album ... brimful with profound lyrical statements" and "music with a message (trite but true)". But on the other, Barton thought it finds Rush "wallowing way, way out of their depth ... it seems impossible to think that this band were once honest, unpretentious purveyors of straight-forward, hard-hitting heavy metal music. Now, having forsaken basic beginnings. Rush sound ambitious beyond their musical means." [32] In a review for Circus magazine, Bart Testa wrote the band plays "stupendous fanfare music" and noted their positive sentiments in the songs. He favoured "Cygnus X-1 Book II" over the side-long suite on 2112 as it showcased a better performance from the band, noting their ability to "interlock metal whirlwinds" driven by Peart's drumming. However, Testa noted "Circumstances" was the only one true "song" on the record, "and it's not very good, either." [33] Joe Nick Patoski gave a positive review in American rock magazine Creem , who thought Rush "lay their cards on the table" to much success with "timely and illuminating issues" in the lyrics. He summarised: "Just the stuff America needs to nudge its way into the 80s." [34]

The album gained further critical acclaim retrospectively. In a poll held by Rolling Stone titled "Readers' Poll: Your Favorite Prog Rock Albums of All Time" in 2012, Hemispheres was ranked at No. 8. [35] Reviewing the album for the magazine, Michael Bloom stated, "Overall, especially in 'La Villa Strangiato', Lifeson, Peart and Lee prove themselves masters of every power-trio convention. In fact, these guys have the chops and drive to break out of the largely artificial bounds of the format, and they constantly threaten to do so but never quite manage." [36] In the review for AllMusic, Greg Prato favourably compared the album to the band's previous work, "While the story line isn't as comprehensible as 2112 was, it's much more consistent musically, twisting and turning through five different sections which contrast heavy rock sections against more sedate pieces." [28] PopMatters ranked Hemispheres the 12th best progressive rock album of all time. [37]

Tour

Rush supported the album with a 137-date tour of Canada, the US, and Europe between October 1978 and June 1979. It marked the band performing longer sets and in larger venues across Canada, including three sold out dates at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in December 1978, culminating in a show on New Year's Eve. [7] The stage set improved, this time with more sophisticated lighting and triple the amount of video projection compared to their last tour, including a film to illustrate the story of "Cygnus X-1". [38] Rush were in considerable financial debt at the start of the tour, and Peart said they hoped to pay it off using receipts from the first leg and make a profit on the second. [39] The group would not tour with a profit until their next album, Permanent Waves .

  1. ↑ "Circumstances" A-side for Canada. "The Trees" A-side for the US
  2. ↑ Stylized in all caps.
  3. ↑ While "La Villa Strangiato" is Rush's first entirely instrumental song, it is technically not overall when counting parts of suites, including "Before" of "Before and After", "Of the Battle" of "By-Tor and the Snow Dog", and, less technically, "Overture" and "Grand Finale" of "2112".
  4. ↑ The subtitle of each movement name is listed on the vinyl in italic type, but non-existent on the back of the CD.
  5. ↑ On the vinyl, "Apollo Bringer of Wisdom" and "Dionysus Bringer of Love" are listed as individual sections, but their separate lengths are not given. Instead, a length combination of both sections, 4:36, is given at the end of the line for "Dionysus". Additionally, on the CD, the whole track is listed as five sections, with the "Apollo" and "Dionysus" parts marked as one named "Apollo/Dionysus" with the same combo length.
  6. ↑ The vinyl misprints the length of "The Sphere A Kind of Dream" as 1:06, while the CD provides the correct one.
  7. ↑ recorded live May 28, 1979, at Stadthalle Offenbach, West Germany; incorrectly credited as Live in Arizona: November 20, 1978

Rush was a Canadian rock band formed in Toronto in 1968 that primarily comprised Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson (guitar) and Neil Peart. The band's original line-up comprised Lifeson, drummer John Rutsey, and bassist and vocalist Jeff Jones, whom Lee immediately replaced. After Lee joined, the band went through a few line-up changes before arriving at its classic power trio line-up with the addition of Peart in July 1974, who replaced Rutsey four months after the release of their self-titled debut album; this line-up remained unchanged for the remainder of the band's career.

<i>2112</i> (album) 1976 studio album by Rush

2112 is the fourth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in March 1976 by Mercury Records. It reached No. 5 in Canada and became the band's commercial breakthrough in America, peaking at No. 61.

<i>A Farewell to Kings</i> 1977 studio album by Rush

A Farewell to Kings is the fifth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released on Anthem Records on August 29, 1977. The album reached No. 11 in Canada and marked a growth in the band's international fanbase, becoming their first Top 40 album in the US and the UK.

<i>Fly by Night</i> (album) 1975 studio album by Rush

Fly by Night is the second studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released on February 1975, by Mercury Records. It was the first Rush album to showcase elements of progressive rock for which the band has become known. It was also the first to feature lyricist and drummer Neil Peart, who replaced original drummer John Rutsey the previous summer just prior to the band's first North American tour. Peart took over as Rush's primary lyricist, and the abundance of fantastical and philosophical themes in his compositions contrasted greatly with the simpler hard rock of the band's debut album.

<i>Caress of Steel</i> 1975 studio album by Rush

Caress of Steel is the third studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released on September 24, 1975, by Mercury Records. It was recorded immediately after the band concluded touring in support of their previous album, Fly By Night, and marked a development in the group's sound, moving from the blues-based hard rock style of their debut towards progressive rock. Caress of Steel is considered Rush's first progressive rock album. Songs such as "The Necromancer" furthered Rush's advancement into narrative-driven, fantasy-based compositions, while "The Fountain of Lamneth" was their first prog-rock "epic" to span an entire side of vinyl. Other tracks like "Bastille Day" and "Lakeside Park" became staples of the band's live setlists.

<i>Vapor Trails</i> 2002 studio album by Rush

Vapor Trails is the seventeenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush. It was released on May 14, 2002, on Anthem Records, and was their first studio release since Test for Echo (1996), the longest gap between two Rush albums. After the Test For Echo tour finished in July 1997, drummer and lyricist Neil Peart suffered the loss of his daughter and then his wife in separate tragedies. As a result, the group entered an extended hiatus during which it was not certain they would continue. They eventually reunited in January 2001 to rehearse material for a new album, recording for which lasted until December. For the first and only time since Caress of Steel (1975), the group did not use any keyboards or synthesizers in their music, incorporating many layers of guitar, bass and drums instead.

<i>Permanent Waves</i> 1980 studio album by Rush

Permanent Waves is the seventh studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released on January 14, 1980 through Anthem Records. After touring to support their previous album, Hemispheres (1978), the band began working on new material for a follow-up in July 1979. This material showed a shift in the group's sound towards more concise arrangements and radio-friendly songs, though their progressive rock blueprint is still evident on "Jacob's Ladder" and the nine-minute closer "Natural Science." Bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee also employed a more restrained vocal delivery compared to previous albums. Permanent Waves was the first of seven studio albums the band recorded at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec with production handled by the group and Terry Brown.

<i>Exit... Stage Left</i> 1981 live album by Rush

As with three other sections of the suite, the lyrics were written by drummer Neil Peart and the music composed by bassist and lead vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson. It was recorded in July 1975 at Toronto Sound under production of the band and Terry Brown.
