Amazon: bit.ly/Rush2112... Music video by Rush performing Mystic Rhythms. (C) 1985 The Island Def Jam Music Group and Anthem Entertainment Video: (c) 1990 Anthem Entertainment
Unlike a lot of hardcore Rush fans I liked this period of Rush. For me there is no such thing as a traditional Rush album, these guys can do whatever the fuck they want and do it really well. That's always what I loved about this band. Power Windows blew every other new wave/synthrock album out of the water in the 80's.
A lot of people, it would seem, are just turned off by the timbre of the 80s keyboards, which is a shame, because the material on Power Windows is some of the best they've ever done.
Every single track on Power Windows is amazing, I love how they went heavy on the synth/keyboard despite what others may think about it. I'd say its in my top 3 favorite Rush albums.
I met Neal when I was 9 years old. He gave me his signed sticks from the test for echo tour. They are now in a shadow box in my bedroom. The mother to my children died and I was super lucky to find me a new partner that helped me raise my kids since they were toddlers. This song makes me look at those drum sticks and remember how mystic life can be and how un lucky and lucky I am. Neil was mystic and his writing encourages the brain to look beyond the box. I Love Rush RIP Neil
Same. I've gone months without crying at his passing. Tthen you mentioned this. Damn. He may not have been able to pretend a stranger was a long-awaited friend, but to us, we knew him better than he knew us. And we loved him anyways. Now I'm off to find paper towel.
This song, along with Marathon, Middletown Dreams, & Manhattan Project are just astronomically phenomenal. Feels like a trip through the streets of a futuristic suburb.
This song is better than drugs. No matter how many times I listen to this song is still strikes emotion and a sort of euphoria for me. Absolute brilliance and perfection from some of the best minds in music.
Funny how songs like these have the power to make one travel time back to one's youth and relive the way we felt back then. Life looked promising, magical almost and uncomplicated those years, didn't it?
In a Rush marathon going through the discography backwards…This song and Big Money are real standouts, so was Marathon and Manhattan Project…Onward to Grace Under Pressure, see you there fellow Rush travellers!
I actually remember when "Power Windows" album was premiered on our local rock station in its entirety at midnight, on the day of the album release. I remember that I was in my first year college and my buddies were all huddled near the radio in anticipation, knowing that this was going to be the first Rush album that was digitally recorded AND digitally mastered. We were blown away at the creativeness and the crispness of the sound!! "Mystic Rhythms" became on of my favorites on this album...great song and great memories!!
thats a fucking great story man, I can just picture it in my mind. I'm 33 now and I wish I'd heard about Rush earlier in my life so that I could have at least seen them live once in my life. Great memory of yours and thanks for sharing

Standing less than 6ft from the stage with massive speakers on both sides watching Neil Peart destroy the drums during the song Temples of Syrinx I became a Rush fan for life. I have been playing drums most of my life and my bandmates have always called me Neil Peart because of the way he has influenced my playing. I just recently found out that we were born on the same day 12 years apart. CRAZY! Anyway back to that night. Geddy Lee still had his unibrow going on and when he came over to the right side of the stage it was kind of freaking me out because of the blue window pane acid that me and my friends had dropped earlier. The concerts were way different back in the 70s and the booze\pot etc. was flowing everywhere. Topless women were walking around everywhere and passed out drunk people were being carried out of the place, so it was a pretty wild sight. When it was over and I got back home I remember my parents were pissed off because I was high and had lost my coat. This show was truly a life changing event in my life. The RUSH album 2112 became my new favorite at that time and even influenced my first bank loan of 3K for a Top of the line Denon Intergrated Amp stereo system with monster Polk Audio 10 speakers and a Denon Rosewood turntable with moving coil cartridge. I have been ROCKING the BLOCK with this system for the last 40 years. \m/ STAY WILD \m/
@@2Zero8discipline Nice. I've seen Rush a handful of times, and they've delivered the goods every time, without fail. I can't claim as good a story as yours, but there was this one time in the summer of 2011 where things went a bit crazy... I had to leave The Gorge wearing only one shoe. Not my proudest moment, but I will cherish it forever.
Producer Peter Collins said the vocal sound was one area he could definitely improve. He was right vs gup and there are many multi-harmony parts on PW that they had not tried before.
Not only was Neil the greatest drummer in rock music, he was also the most innovative. This video is a clear example of that. Not only is the grove awesome but the opening scene shows his back facing the front of his drum set (something that had never been done before) because he is playing his second kit opposite side which is made up entirely of electronics (another thing that had never been done before). Plus it was on a revolving drum kit (another first). And keep in mind that his cymbals are now reversed as well and it didn't phase him one bit. He was truly a master of his craft, an innovator, and the most fun to watch. I will always miss his playing.
This song on "A Show of Hands" completed my conversion into a Rush fan. Didnt get to see it live until The Counterparts Tour and again on R30. I absolutely love this song. All-time favorite Rush tune. I Love when then band says Power Windows is one of their all-time best records.
Also throughout this song he is triggering with his left foot. This song shows the level of technical playing ability Neil Peart had evolved. Separating his right and left hands and feet to create some mind bending patterns. That's why I love the intro on Mystic Rythms...
completely agree. videos were never a strong point for Rush (and never needed to be) but this one quietly triumphed. it never got the recognition it should. I would have hired Casale to do every other video!
Mark Oldman actually I believe Mercury didn’t give them the budgets they could’ve used for making even MORE mindblowing statements! Big Money is kinda half ass just given the early digital graphics just to compete with Dire Straits ‘Money for Nothing’ if you stop & think about it... their music always had such visual elements but they RARELY got the right tumblers to CLICK as they shoulda had way more interesting videos given the 80’s being the 80’s lol
Man, what can I say about rush these guys were a different level the 70s and 80s I mean even to this day, I can’t even comprehend songs that complicated is phenomenal. Thank you, Rush you are truly blessed into the Canadian Hall of Fame.
next time you want to drink a glass of toilet water from your mom and dads toilet in the basement of their house , thank god they're letting you live there for free , don't drink it . you might be able to have some kind of future
shelley gorodetzer Yeah, my parents live on the other side of the country and don't have a basement. But don't worry, I'm sure you just assumed all parent's houses have basements like the one you live in.
Like all Rush albums from Hemispheres onward, this album had what artist Paul Klee epitomised : Making the invisible visible. The luminous seers of Rock had that mystical magic which alluded to much of what was beyond superficial reality and crafted multidimensional music with deep esoteric comprehension. Always loved their music which contained the same enchantment as early to mid period Hawkwind.
I love coming to the comments to see all the people that love rush just as much as I do. Rush fans worship them. I just want to spread the word of Rush.
Personally, I very much liked Rush's synth period, some great songs came from that. I seriously don't get the haters of that period of Rush's work, it was excellent and some of their best music. And I've been a Rush fan since the first album!
It was very brave of the band, a massive change in sound was bound to spook some but their excellence just brought most along with them for the ride and what a ride it was and no doubt will continue to be.
The whole album is incredible! It’s a perfect blend of guitar bass drums keyboards and synths. Neil’s writing on this album is thoughtful and insightful. It’s like he’s in the room talking to you!
This is possibly the best form of chillwave ever (and chillwave didn't even exist at the same time). All those Moving Pictures listeners have to listen to this track
For me Rush was a battle in my mind at 12, their lyrics (spirit of the radio vs PF's the Wall) were far more profound than I could fathom. Every time I saw them in concert, I learned more about ME, the Universe and humankind. Could I now have spent that money on a Maserati, perhaps, but I treasure every moment of their music, their intelligence and their humor. We are so blessed to have had this trio in our lives.
I'm sorry, but any RUSH 'fan' that doesn't like this era just doesn't understand the band and what the creative process entails...Yes, even the band thinks they wandered a bit far into synth world but, oh, what a wonderful journey! Thank you, gentlemen!
I used to listen to this song in my high school years. I was suffered from harsh bullying, and all the things in the world seemed to being filled with undefinable emptiness and boredom. After back from the school in the early evening, I immediately turned on the audio, opened the window in my room, and just gazed at the red sky with my eyes half-closed, praying for someone I can’t see that he will bring some sacred lights in my busted life...this song was repeated on the background during the daily practice. I still believe someone beyond the sky was not by my imaginations, he surely must exist...
"The more we think we know about, the greater the unknown". - Neil Peart. My favorite Rush lyric ever. And so Neil Peart. He never stopped learning, and expanding his knowledge!
This album is brilliant. Can't see why anyone doesn't like it. Some people say it's not Rush but in my opinion it's all part of what makes up rush :) . Love the video
I agree this is one of Rush's top albums for sure the crown of the synthesizer era. I don't know people are always hating on the Rush synthesizer era. I know Hold You're Fire wasn't really well received, but every band has some stinkers out there, for Rush Hold You're Fire and Caress of Steel are probably what they would consider there (2) stinker albums. Rush's management I don't think liked Hold You're Fire because after that album there music changed and they got back to harder sounding music, which there management wanted and I know Lifeson had enough of the synthesizer key board era. Geddy Lee was big on the key boards and synthesizer. However this was a good album.
Agreed, the legacy of Rush includes the greatness of all their variations. I'm 50 now, and got turned on to Rush in junior high in the late 70s. Loved their sound immediately and loved hearing them evolve and change, but somehow always remained clearly Rush. With so much variety I have never stopped craving listening to them. The only thing that keeps changing is my favorite album/era. I've never truly settled on a favorite and don't think I ever will. If I go a few months or years without listening to something from Rush, I always find myself rediscovering that something, yet again, and my enjoyment is renewed and reenergized. They just do every variation of themselves so perfectly that you can't help but appreciate all of it.
I'm as big a Rush fan as the next guy, but this is simply not my favorite manifestation. I certainly appreciate it for what it was and what they were trying to get across. That's what makes these three guys so great; they tried everything (except country & western, thank Christ).
After hearing "the news" today (January 10, 2020) I don't want me or you to feel sad or cry. I just want to recommend that we all binge watch all of Rush's music videos this weekend to celebrate the band & Neil's contribution to their music.🧡
To all the Rush pre-1984 purists, this is some of the Rushiest Rush that Rush ever Rushed and you know it. Wait a minute, what am I saying? They're not watching this.
Hey, this same year (1985) it worked for Dire Straits on their song Walk of Life, it became one of their biggest hits. Nothing wrong with synths if they're used right!
Devil's Offspring Much agreed! I’m a fan of almost all synth driven music and especially vintage analog synth sounds, but certainly the way the artist employs their synth palette can make all the difference between a masterpiece and something not as good sounding.
Rush was the most diverse band musically.No two albums ever sounded alike.,but even so,they were unmistakably recognized it was them ,at least for the astute and alert rush fan,geedys voice,iconic bass tone and of course,the DRUMS!!!!
Rest in peace, Neil. This song, along with many others, will forever be a masterpiece. Thank you for your inspiration, and contribution to the music world.
How many of us freaked out in 1986 when we saw the intro to Mystic Rhythms!! I'm a drummer, and Neil is my favorite! It was magic. I started my first of 15 shows shortly after!
***** That's why the world didn't end, the Mayans were like "Guys, on December 21 2012 the Rush levels will deplete and all will be Belibers!" But no, This video was released when the Rush level was lowest and alas the Rush levels rose to a sufficient level and thus we are still here! :D
@@clevelandrixiii3415 DiD YOU GET TO SEE RUSH WHEN THEY PLAYED IN CLEVELAND ? 1980 CLEVELAND COLLISEUM, GOLDEN EARING, OPENING ACT ( RADAR LOVE ) , was one of the greatest shows I ever attended, 2112, they PLAYED THE ENTIRE ALBUM, WAS LIFE ALTERING.
I hear that brother we always remember the ones that saved our lives. Rush ,Motörhead ,Iron Maiden just to name a few. These guys were real like you and me ,they sang about true experience’s and real life events. we can relate to the sound of thundering drums, the lick of the guitar, the thumping bass guitar and deep lyrics joined by a powerful voice! that let’s us know where alive! This is where my best memories lye due to music made by great bands. So cheers 🍻 to music and memories!! (one can not exist without the other).
Unlike a lot of hardcore Rush fans I liked this period of Rush. For me there is no such thing as a traditional Rush album, these guys can do whatever the fuck they want and do it really well.

Every single track on Power Windows is amazing, I love how they went heavy on the synth/keyboard despite what others may think about it. I'd say its in my top 3 favorite Rush albums.
I love Peart's lyrics from this period more so than anything before or after it.
This was my first Rush show (Power Windows tour). Saw them in Nashville. I was 16.
***** At least you'll probably see them while they're still around. I live in Australia and I have a feeling they won't be coming over here at all.
I met Neal when I was 9 years old. He gave me his signed sticks from the test for echo tour. They are now in a shadow box in my bedroom. The mother to my children died and I was super lucky to find me a new partner that helped me raise my kids since they were toddlers. This song makes me look at those drum sticks and remember how mystic life can be and how un lucky and lucky I am. Neil was mystic and his writing encourages the brain to look beyond the box.
I Love Rush
RIP Neil
RIP the mother of your children too, she gave treasures to the world. Think about that.
These guys altered my DNA I've spent thousands of hours listening to them. Neil will be missed.
You worded that so perfectly! I share this sentiment with you. Thank You!
Agreed!!
NOBODY sounds like Rush.
NOBODY sounds like Peart.
Thousands of hours, wow you could have learned Chinese or something.
Same. I've gone months without crying at his passing. Tthen you mentioned this. Damn. He may not have been able to pretend a stranger was a long-awaited friend, but to us, we knew him better than he knew us. And we loved him anyways. Now I'm off to find paper towel.

This song, along with Marathon, Middletown Dreams, & Manhattan Project are just astronomically phenomenal. Feels like a trip through the streets of a futuristic suburb.
Vital signs as well
@@adamburling9551 Very true. Power Windows (to me) is like taking a journey to space and going beyond the great unknown
You forgot sub division
@@joeosiecki5031 Yeah, that too.
They are all good. An old one "Here Again" , rocks !
How can there be so much talent in only 3 guys?
Foo Fighters has left the chat
The Gods were in a good mood the day they introduced Neil to Geddy and Alex.
How can 3 guys make such a sound!!?
I don't know 😮
Just listen to these freaking epic drums... and realise you will NEVER hear them live ever again. Such a loss...
i wanted to reply to this comment - realising it was my own... rush rules, period.
Don't be sad that it's over, be glad they were here to begin with
This song is better than drugs. No matter how many times I listen to this song is still strikes emotion and a sort of euphoria for me. Absolute brilliance and perfection from some of the best minds in music.
Well, I guess that depends on what drug your talking about....
Same here.
To me it's a very psychedelic song.
More like heroin.
This song on lsd is amazing
We were blessed to have this band. We suspend our disbelief, and we are not alone.
The deeper suspension still has yet to be revealed, they knew the truth.
We are entertained.
@@stephenneville7841 ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???
Attention all planets of the solar federation... We have assumed control... 😉
Funny how songs like these have the power to make one travel time back to one's youth and relive the way we felt back then. Life looked promising, magical almost and uncomplicated those years, didn't it?
I just played this for my newborn daughter. Thank you, Alex, Geddy, and Neil.
Just watched this with my newborn daughter then saw your comment. What a coincidence
God Bless you. This is the best ever😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love all eras of Rush but in my opinion, Geddy was at his peak vocally in the 80's. Clearly exemplified here.
Producer Peter Collins said the vocal sound was one area he could definitely improve. He was right vs gup and there are many multi-harmony parts on PW that they had not tried before.
This has to be their best Music Video.
One of the best songs from an interesting period of Rush.
I'd have to agree.
Absolutely accurate! Still one of my all time favorite RUSH songs.

Electric drum kits first used by the beach boys on the song do it again and the moody blues on the song procession.
Neil was more than the best drummer, he was the bands lyricist and a composer. He is sorely missed.
@@billskalicky5400 Yes, but it was a first for him, and one of the first times a complete e Drum kit was combined with a complete acoustic kit.

Not the greatest, but definitely in the top 10-15.

Honestly same.. Would of been so cool to have seen them live
I must say that raccoon on Geddy's head is pretty relaxed. It barely moved at all throughout the entire video. Geddy must've trained it well.
haha i fell for it at first then i got the joke
LMAO! AND CAN'T STOP!
Haha, even Geddy hates that style he wore back then!

I'm sorry, but any RUSH 'fan' that doesn't like this era just doesn't understand the band and what the creative process entails...Yes, even the band thinks they wandered a bit far into synth world but, oh, what a wonderful journey! Thank you, gentlemen!
I used to listen to this song in my high school years. I was suffered from harsh bullying, and all the things in the world seemed to being filled with undefinable emptiness and boredom.
After back from the school in the early evening, I immediately turned on the audio, opened the window in my room, and just gazed at the red sky with my eyes half-closed, praying for someone I can’t see that he will bring some sacred lights in my busted life...this song was repeated on the background during the daily practice.
I still believe someone beyond the sky was not by my imaginations, he surely must exist...
Your post is not quite coherent but your appreciation for the song is apparent. I hope your life has improved since.
I feel ya buddy. Hopefully your life has turned out to everything you wanted. 🤗 Sending hugs
Hang tough bro
Beautiful tune
Just have to pat attention my man.it will find you.
Wow that is an amazing post! Thank you for sharing your experience. It resonates with many of us.
Well done friend.
So cool! 😎🥁🙌🎸
"The more we think we know about, the greater the unknown". - Neil Peart. My favorite Rush lyric ever. And so Neil Peart. He never stopped learning, and expanding his knowledge!
This album is brilliant. Can't see why anyone doesn't like it. Some people say it's not Rush but in my opinion it's all part of what makes up rush :) . Love the video
I think it can't get more Rush than this. It's the way they should sound.
I agree this is one of Rush's top albums for sure the crown of the synthesizer era. I don't know people are always hating on the Rush synthesizer era. I know Hold You're Fire wasn't really well received, but every band has some stinkers out there, for Rush Hold You're Fire and Caress of Steel are probably what they would consider there (2) stinker albums. Rush's management I don't think liked Hold You're Fire because after that album there music changed and they got back to harder sounding music, which there management wanted and I know Lifeson had enough of the synthesizer key board era. Geddy Lee was big on the key boards and synthesizer. However this was a good album.
Agreed, the legacy of Rush includes the greatness of all their variations. I'm 50 now, and got turned on to Rush in junior high in the late 70s. Loved their sound immediately and loved hearing them evolve and change, but somehow always remained clearly Rush. With so much variety I have never stopped craving listening to them. The only thing that keeps changing is my favorite album/era. I've never truly settled on a favorite and don't think I ever will. If I go a few months or years without listening to something from Rush, I always find myself rediscovering that something, yet again, and my enjoyment is renewed and reenergized. They just do every variation of themselves so perfectly that you can't help but appreciate all of it.
I'm as big a Rush fan as the next guy, but this is simply not my favorite manifestation. I certainly appreciate it for what it was and what they were trying to get across. That's what makes these three guys so great; they tried everything (except country & western, thank Christ).
@@harveyvid Actually, they did do country (kinda, sorta) with the song, Cold Fire.
RUSH, masters of the universe.
Such a positive vibe to all of us who love them.
RIP Neil, you are deeply missed.
Thank you for all you have given us.
Sometimes my stomach turns to knots when I watch these old Rush videos.
After hearing "the news" today (January 10, 2020) I don't want me or you to feel sad or cry. I just want to recommend that we all binge watch all of Rush's music videos this weekend to celebrate the band & Neil's contribution to their music.🧡
Doing that right now..!!!
Rush is insanely cool! 🤟🎶
alex, neil, geddy and his raccoon ;) one of history's greatest songs
Professor, greatest drummer ever, RIP
Digging the vibes of Rush's "Mystic Rhythms"! 🎶✨
Nice Rhythms Sound ... ... ... 😎
To all the Rush pre-1984 purists, this is some of the Rushiest Rush that Rush ever Rushed and you know it. Wait a minute, what am I saying? They're not watching this.
Yes we are
The hardcore ones are.
Neil Peart scoping out them .Electronic Drums!
Alex work is just amazing !!!!
I was 9 when I saw this and for real thought they were gods.
My opinion hasn’t changed.
Funny because they’re atheists
@@comical3303 Many atheists can be and are Buddhists. They believe in the self. That the parts comprise the whole. Life begets life.
MASTERPIECE !!!!
Experimental music at it's finest.
Geddy with steiberger bass 🤘...Rush Rocks!! 🤘
this song just blows me away every time its so earthy sounding it just hits you on an almost animal level
Alex Rinaldi this song and High Water have very similar rhythms, almost like an enormous planetary heartbeat that our bodies are attuned to naturally.
It’s more of an African-style rhythm. And their rhythms are just so pure and.....well, mystic
Some people don’t like the heavy synth use period of Rush but I love it! Very atmospheric sounding here.
Hey, this same year (1985) it worked for Dire Straits on their song Walk of Life, it became one of their biggest hits. Nothing wrong with synths if they're used right!
Devil's Offspring Much agreed! I’m a fan of almost all synth driven music and especially vintage analog synth sounds, but certainly the way the artist employs their synth palette can make all the difference between a masterpiece and something not as good sounding.
Power windows…amazing album from start to finish
Beautiful song, love this sound era of Rush.
NEIL PEART. ONE OF THE GREATEST DRUMMERS THE WORLD WILL EVER SEE & ONE OF THE BEST BANDS(along with YES & KING CRIMSON) THE UNIVERSE WILL EVER KNOW.
Rush was the most diverse band musically.No two albums ever sounded alike.,but even so,they were unmistakably recognized it was them ,at least for the astute and alert rush fan,geedys voice,iconic bass tone and of course,the DRUMS!!!!
The amazing thing about Rush is how they sound progressed so much over the years. All this great music from 3 musical geniuses
The drum beat from the beginning is very fun to play.
CoooL !!! 👀
I wish I was alive at the time this came out so I could be there when Rush was huge.... My generation has missed out on everything....
Rest in peace, Neil.
This song, along with many others, will forever be a masterpiece. Thank you for your inspiration, and contribution to the music world.
Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, Hold Your Fire. Still my favorite Rush era.
A Rush "mystic" masterpiece!
RUSH !! The only rock band with such commitment.
Power Windows is an underrated album. I was 15 when I got that one and it's a regular on my turntable.
How many of us freaked out in 1986 when we saw the intro to Mystic Rhythms!!
I'm a drummer, and Neil is my favorite!
It was magic. I started my first of 15 shows shortly after!
One of my favorite Rush songs
Great tune 👌 😊
I can't describe in human words how amazing this is... Truly gods among men. Also, this was published on 12/21/12 which is pretty great.
***** That's why the world didn't end, the Mayans were like "Guys, on December 21 2012 the Rush levels will deplete and all will be Belibers!" But no, This video was released when the Rush level was lowest and alas the Rush levels rose to a sufficient level and thus we are still here! :D
This video saved the world...
Priests of the Temple of Sirius
@@clevelandrixiii3415 DiD YOU GET TO SEE RUSH WHEN THEY PLAYED IN CLEVELAND ? 1980 CLEVELAND COLLISEUM, GOLDEN EARING, OPENING ACT ( RADAR LOVE ) , was one of the greatest shows I ever attended, 2112, they PLAYED THE ENTIRE ALBUM, WAS LIFE ALTERING.

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Old Van Halen
Iron maiden

Rush,........They changed the world.
Rush Music is totally relatable 👌 🎶😎
Rush has got me through some very rough times.And Motorhead venom andTank
I hear that brother we always remember the ones that saved our lives. Rush ,Motörhead ,Iron Maiden just to name a few. These guys were real like you and me ,they sang about true experience’s and real life events. we can relate to the sound of thundering drums, the lick of the guitar, the thumping bass guitar and deep lyrics joined by a powerful voice! that let’s us know where alive! This is where my best memories lye due to music made by great bands. So cheers 🍻 to music and memories!! (one can not exist without the other).
RIP Neil, we miss you here man.
Youll never be forgotten.
