Arguably the peak of Rush’s technical ambitions, 1978’s "Hemispheres" captures the iconic Canadian trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart drawing as much as they ever would on sheer musical ability and compositional chops. By May of 1978, a month before recording was set to begin on Rush’s sixth studio album, all three members of the band had achieved such a high level of mastery on their respective instruments, not to mention their collective playing that they saw fit, for the first time in their career, to begin working on an album without the benefit of having any material prepared. Unsurprisingly, making the album proved to be an arduous task, even for a band as diligent as Rush. The Blu-Ray from 40th Anniversary Edition of "Hemispheres" features the album newly mixed from the original multi-tracks in 5.1 Surround Sound along with the 2015 Stereo Remaster.

Hemispheres is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, originally released in October 1978 by Anthem Records. As with the band's previous studio album, Hemispheres was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire and Trident Studios in London with longtime engineer and arranger, Terry Brown. Rush continued its progressive rock sound with the side-long "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres" and the nine-minute instrumental "La Villa Strangiato". Hemispheres received acclaim from music critics. It reached number 14 in Canada and the UK, and number 41 in the United States. In 1993, the album was certified platinum by the RIAA for selling one million copies.

Elton John’s 1973 best selling masterpiece - seven times platinum - was also his most brilliantly diverse record. Originally released as a double LP, the album runs a gamut of styles and features some of the greatest singles of 1970s rock.

The vintage, tube, analog monster sound — resampled. This plugin suite is a novelty for Acustica, as it’s completely different than any other Acqua suite. Luca Martegani, also known as Xelius, is the manufacturer of an incredible suite of hand-built audio hardware characterized by immaculate sound, quality, and value. The equalizer and compressor are the elements of this suite that impressed us most — so much so that we decided to base our new product on them. We call it Cobalt.
