RUSH: Okay, I\u2019ll answer the question. People watching on the Dittocam: ‘Rush, it looks like you\u2019re playing an air violin in there. What are you listening to?\u2019 Mozart 40 in G minor by Waldo de los Rios. I played this song in Pittsburgh in 1972. It is a pop version of Mozart\u2019s symphony G minor, got a lot of percussion in it. I always liked it, and it\u2019s one of these songs that you just know that the conductor, the musicians were happy as hell when they were playing it, when they were performing it, and it makes you happy as hell listening to it, or happy. Hell is not happy. It makes you happy. And it\u2019s not available at iTunes. I looked. It\u2019s not there.BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, I knew I shouldn\u2019t have done this. People are saying, ‘If you can\u2019t get it on iTunes why are you telling us about it?\u2019 Well, you can get it. I got the CD from Amazon. Here. Waldo de los Rios. There are three CDs I found with the tune on it. This is Grandes Exitos<\/a>. He\u2019s got a greatest hits album. This guy is Argentinean from the early seventies, and I remember playing this. I always loved classical music but this is a pop version of it and people said, ‘What are you grooving to in there?\u2019 because I\u2019m playing the air violin here sometimes. Since we last spoke, we have taken a couple patch cords here and we have enabled my iTunes to be able to be broadcast on the program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now, when we finish this, Brian, you\u2019re going to disconnect that. Because it\u2019s actually my entire computer output here that we\u2019re going to be broadcasting for you here. So you gotta disconnect that. Right? So let me reach back here. Now, the thing goes 4:25. I\u2019m not going to play the whole thing, but I\u2019m going to play enough of it so you understand what I meant when I said just makes you happy listening to it and again it\u2019s a pop version of a great classical, shall we say, ‘tune.\u2019 A fine, fine work. Mozart symphony 40, G minor. This is Waldo de los Rios.<\/p>\n

(playing Waldo de los Rios song)<\/p>\n

RUSH: One moment. I forgot to explain something, folks. I\u2019ll recue this. For those of you listening to AM this is going to really thump at you, \u2019cause I had Brian record this on a CD through the Flamethrower. I grew up in the days of AM-only radio with convertibles and so forth and Motown and these people they compressed. They compressed the music. The volume level at every point in the song is the same. Low volume is sucked up — and you can hear if a great compressor is in action. You can hear the ‘ssssssup!\u2019 suck-up. You can actually hear it brought down. So when songs fade out, the fade-out, it just stops because the compressor keeps it up. I just happen to like listening to music that way. Now, like every engineer I\u2019ve ever worked with, he says, ‘It\u2019s distortion! You\u2019re just distorting it!\u2019 I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s distortion, I happen to like it. Shut up! You\u2019re telling me my preference somehow is not right because it\u2019s not pure. But I happen to love compressed music. So here. Let me go back to the beginning of this thing. We have 14 seconds on it. Here we go. I\u2019ll not interrupt it much to give you a flavor of it here. Waldo de los Rios, Mozart, G minor.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

(Waldo de los Rios song continues)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, on your version you can barely hear this. The compression is bringing it way up.<\/p>\n

(Waldo de los Rios song continues)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I doubt Jay-Z is grooving to it, but I like it.<\/p>\n

(Waldo de los Rios song continues)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Again, very quiet on the record but not on this version.<\/p>\n

(Waldo de los Rios song continues)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Doesn\u2019t this just make you feel good?<\/p>\n

(Waldo de los Rios song continues)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m going to see if the turtles on the beach like this or not, some night soon.<\/p>\n

(Waldo de los Rios song continues)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Waldo de los Rios and Mozart\u2019s symphony 40 in G minor. Now, the bad thing about playing that for you is if you make an effort to go out and get the CD it won\u2019t sound that way to you because you do not have a Flamethrower to play this through. One thing compression does: It probably almost doubles the volume. One of the reasons compression was used back in the old AM Top 40 jock days was every station wanted to be the loudest on the dial as you were tuning through it, because it was the loudness that attracted you. So some stations just zapped that compression at you, and I just always loved it and that\u2019s why I\u2019ve never really liked music on FM because it\u2019s not nearly as compressed (\u2019cause the engineers don\u2019t want to ‘distort\u2019 it) and you probably hear the distortion more on FM. But nevertheless that\u2019s Waldo de los Rios and that\u2019s what I\u2019m grooving to.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think I finally illustrated compression. People have found Waldo de los Rios Mozart 40 G Minor online, and they played it. My brother was one of them. ‘It sounds nothing like the version you played.\u2019 It\u2019s the same version. I just put it through a Flamethrower. So people ask, ‘What\u2019s a Flamethrower?\u2019 It\u2019s a product made by Aphex. It\u2019s a piece of broadcast equipment. You can\u2019t get this at home. Just like you shouldn\u2019t try to do this program at home, you can\u2019t get an Aphex Flamethrower at home. Even if you could, you wouldn\u2019t know how to put it into your system. It\u2019s a piece of broadcast equipment. Only highly trained specialists like me have access to it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
