VAPOR TRAILS sees the legendary power trio - Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart - redefining their intensely individualistic music, blending their famously complex dynamics with driving melodic hooks and a passionate, personal lyrical approach. Tracks like the kinetic "How It Is," the emotive "Sweet Miracle," and the propulsive album-opening "One Little Victory" are angular, atmospheric and altogether extraordinary. With the visionary new VAPOR TRAILS, Rush has taken a bold step forward, making it clear that one of rock 'n' roll's all-time great bands are more than just back, they're better than ever.

The album will be heralded by the single, "One Little Victory," slated to ship to rock radio outlets nationwide on March 29. The band is currently finalizing plans for a major North American tour. Tentatively set to kick off in late June, the trek will mark Rush's first live performances since July 1997. The tour's first leg will be announced shortly.

VAPOR TRAILS is Rush's 17th studio recording, and their first all-new collection in over 5 years. The Canadian trio's 22 albums have virtually all been certified CRIA platinum-or-better, with cumulative worldwide sales of over 35 million. The band were inducted into the Juno Awards Hall of Fame in 1994, received the esteemed Order of Canada in 1997 and were given their own star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in 1999.

3/30/02 - (post from bulletin board - Thanks Koz) I wish I was home to record it but I was in my car, but anyone in the NYC area will get another chance Saturday night. Eddie Trunk (WNEW 102.7) had a guest John (didn't get the last name... Arch?) who I guess works for, or is associated in some way with Atlantic records and played about 2 minute samples of each of these songs. All were hard & progressive sounding, and Geddy's singing is sounding energetic, especially on Earthshine. There had to be at least a few people who got this down on tape, so keep an eye out for links of this if not during Saturday, then definitely on Sunday. John also mentioned (from memory) about the upcoming tour. It will be an evening with Rush (no opening act) and will begin on June 28th in Hartford, go further into New England and then back to Jones Beach and Madison Square Garden.

3/27/02 - A DJ in Michigan at WRIFF played the single "One Little Victory" three times before ANTHEM RECORDS and their lawyers communicated to him that this was not authorized! I heard the song at 6:30 p.m. today off a CD burned by an un-named RUSH fan and liked it alot! Neil and Geddy are going off! You might be able to find a bootleg copy of it on the net at http://www.pantheonwell.com/His/Rush/victory.mpga

3/27/02 - Rumors are flying that the first show will be in Hartford, CT, on June 28th, 2002. There was talk of the first show being in upstate New York, typically where they kick off tours, and strangely, maybe Paris, France. The Hartford rumor seems to be the most talked about.
