‘Fine Wine’ Albums: “Hemispheres”

This month’s “Fine Wine” album is truly ‘An Exercise in Self-Indulgence’. Unless you’re Geddy Lee.

Dirk characterized making their 1978 masterpiece, “Hemispheres”, as “the straw that broke the camel’s back”. Nonetheless, it’s Rush at their proggiest and finest thanks to masterpieces like the opening side-long title track,…

‚…and the aforementioned ‘exercise in self-indulgence’, which would go on to become a live staple for the remainder of Rush’s tours (not to mention a novice air-drummer’s exercise in futility).

The whole album rocks from top to bottom 45 years later!
