Recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales with producer Terry Brown, the album continued the progressive direction of A Farewell to Kings while pushing the band toward longer compositions, complex arrangements, and demanding instrumental performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first side is devoted to the 18 minute \"Cygnus X 1 Book II: Hemispheres,\" which continues the narrative begun on A Farewell to Kings. The second side includes \"Circumstances,\" \"The Trees,\" and the instrumental \"La Villa Strangiato,\" one of the most technically challenging pieces Rush had recorded at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHemispheres reached number 14 in both Canada and the United Kingdom and later achieved platinum status in Canada and the United States. The difficult recording process also influenced Rush's decision to pursue more concise song structures on Permanent Waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres\u003cbr\u003eA1.1 Prelude\u003cbr\u003eA1.2 Apollo (Bringer Of Wisdom)\u003cbr\u003eA1.3 Dionysus (Bringer Of Love)\u003cbr\u003eA1.4 Armageddon (The Battle Of Heart And Mind)\u003cbr\u003eA1.5 Cygnus (Bringer Of Balance)\u003cbr\u003eA1.6 The Sphere (A Kind Of Dream)\u003cbr\u003eB1 Circumstances\u003cbr\u003eB2 The Trees\u003cbr\u003eB3 La Villa Strangiato\u003cbr\u003eB3.1 Buenos Nochas, Mein Froinds!\u003cbr\u003eB3.2 To Sleep, Perchance To Dream...\u003cbr\u003eB3.3 Strangiato Theme\u003cbr\u003eB3.4 A Lerxst In Wonderland\u003cbr\u003eB3.5 Monsters!\u003cbr\u003eB3.6 The Ghost Of The Aragon\u003cbr\u003eB3.7 Danforth And Pape\u003cbr\u003eB3.8 The Waltz Of The Shreves\u003cbr\u003eB3.9 Never Turn Your Back On A Monster!\u003cbr\u003eB3.10 Monsters!
