Cummerbund, McClintock and Rehfeldt are the holy trinity of mashup videos.

Or they are a law firm.

Or both.

The whole album is good, but the stretch on the B side is outstanding.

Territories is a dance bop, with an amazing message about the futility of borders.

Middletown Dreams is three simple vignettes about people shifting through life phases.

Emotion Detector has a guitar solo to make you cry.

I grew up in southern Idaho, and some of my friends in the late 70s had “2112” (and in the early 80s, “Moving Pictures.”)

So through them, I had heard some of those songs, just didn’t recognize them until I was older. (Again, I didn’t own the albums, so no reference for who was whom, not The Who)

My cousin made me a cassette, that was the Miami Vice Soundtrack on one side, and Power Windows on the other.

I had heard of Rush (even early,) but didn’t have lyrics or even a track listing. I just knew that I liked the flow of those songs.

Somehow when I was pinching and zooming I missed a quadrant.

Still, that run from Territories through Emotion Detector is SO damned good.

Gotta add Power Windows.
