989 - Rush 2112 1976

"2112" is the title track from Canadian progressive rock band Rush's album of the same name, released in 1976. The overture and the first section, "Temples of Syrinx", were released as a single and are still popular among Rush's setlists today. The "sci-fi" sounds in the beginning of the song were created using an ARP Odyssey and an echoplex. Today, when performed live, the song is tuned down 2 keys.
"2112" commences with a lengthy instrumental section ("Overture") which concludes with the spoken phrase "And the meek shall inherit the Earth" (a reference to the Beatitudes of the New Testament and Psalm 37:11.) The "2112 Overture" contains a guitar adaptation of a familiar part of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
