Song 401 ( Rush - Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres )

Since I posted part one yesterday I figured that it would make sense to pick part II today.

Warning! More Science Fiction Content Ahead!

This part of the story is a bit more out there and surreal, so many people would be lost if it was not for the excellent music along with it. Anyone who is into opera would probably be at home listening to this one.
The story continues with the man who flew into the black hole being taken through in spirit to the other side, which is Olympus from Greek Mythos. There he finds two factions of people who are at odds: logical thinkers (Apollo) and those who are emotional thinkers (Dionysus). This is the dubious pop psychology concept, as the album cover depicts, the left and right hemispheres of the brain being in conflict. Anyway, to sum up the story a war erupts between them and the protagonist is able to end the conflict and bring balance, he is then made into a "god;" Cygnus: the god of balance.
Musically, this piece continues with a similar feel to the first story except this one is a bit more technical in places and is a more dynamic in my opinion.

Here is part one on YouTube.
