I am feeling a bit oppressed by the state. The Ministry of Truth tells me the Ministry of Plenty will ensure I have as much little as I have earned need. The looters and moochers are running things and I find myself asking "Who is John Galt?" So I needed an antidote to antipathy. And this morning that came in the form of some amplified anarchy. I got some amazing audio accessories for an after holidays indulgence, and they got a full work out this AM. This is the rig, plus a gratuitous inclusion of the guitar my SO got me for my birthday. If you are an audiophile check out the NHT Xd speakers, amp & DSP rig that was moving the man cave off its foundation this morning. Since I wanted to use the amazing clarity and soundstage of the system, while simultaneously raging against the machine I chose the greatest power trio ever, Rush. This served to vent my frustration and indulge my need to hear Neal Peart perfectly pound out some profound percussion and poetry. I give you "2112 Overture- The Temples of Syrinx" We've taken care of everything The words you hear, the songs you sing The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes It's one for all, all for one We work together, common sons Never need to wonder how or why... Look around this world we made Equality our stock in trade Come and join the brotherhood of man Oh what a wide contented world Let the banners be unfurled Hold the red star proudly high in hand Rush has quite a few more in this vein, like Red Barchetta, Subdivisions, Working Man etc. But now I ask you what music do you hear when you storm the Bastille? Signs by Five Man Acoustical Band, Freedom by RATM, Ball and Chain by Social D? Fill the comments with your revolutionary soundtrack.
