1673 Rush - Limbo

1673 Rush - Limbo

From: Test for Echo, Year: 1996
Genre: Progressive Rock

The other day Max chose his first song from Rush's Test for Echo album and I believe that I have yet to choose one from that album as well, so I thought I would follow suit.
While I'm a huge Rush fan, I've never really cared too much for this album, not that there is anything wrong with it per se. It's just never quite 'clicked' with me like most of their other offerings; this is the same for most of their albums of the '90s, although this album in particular marks my personal low point.
Anyway, this instrumental is one of a couple of gems for me off the album. And being that it is an instrumental it's a vehicle for each of the three members of the band to showcase their skills. I really like the addition of the samples from Bobby "Boris" Pickett's Monster Mash; it really shows how much fun they were having while recording.
