  Encyclopedia: Presto (album)
Presto is the thirteenth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1989 (see 1989 in music).
Presto was intended to be co-produced with Peter Collins, who had produced the previous two studio albums, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire.
Presto was indeed a good magic trick to remind some of their fans that the band was not totally lost in Casio technology and could still harness the old rock trio horse.

 Presto by Rush CD
PRESTO was the first Rush album to be co-produced by the band and Rupert Hine (Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks, Howard Jones).
This album and Counterparts were both released in the fall of 1989 and 1993 and both hit like a "Force Ten".
The fact remains, however, that Presto is still not a "warm" album in the manner of Counterparts or Moving Pictures.

 Presto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term has also been used is also used for centuries to command demons, and also in conjunction with amateur stage magic - 'Presto change-o' or 'Hey presto!' are common accompaniments to the waving of the magic wand or the swishing of the handkerchief as the magician performs their tricks.
The term comes from the Italian (and Latin) for 'quickly', and is possibly related to prestidigitation (sleight of hand) derived from the Latin for 'fast fingers'.
An exhaustive discussion of the magic phrase presto chango is available in the free online dictionary of magic words.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : Rush
The album as a whole is hardly an essential work although should still be interesting to Rush fans of a completist nature.
this album was a very unusual but i love the hit song in that album that i hear on rock 103 all the time and i love it.
Presto (title track) is one of the most gorgeous melodic chorus's Rush have ever written and to cap it off with that Lifeson solo is heaven sent.

 Presto Ballet ‹oOo›
What this album really sets apart from all releases that came out during the last 25 years and had the same approach as Presto Ballet: to sound like a prog-rock band of the 70's, is: “Peace Among The Ruins” was REALLY recorded with analogue synthesizers, real Hammond organ, real mellotron sounds.
Let's wait and see if Presto Ballet is also intended to differentiate themselves from present styles on their upcoming releases and if they're going to produce a personal and original music - taking its inspiration from the past but combining it more with metal and prog-rock influences of today.
Presto Ballet was clearly a labor of love, and the band members' dedication and enthusiasm shines through every note of this instant classic.

 Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album remasters by rock band Rush called Presto,Roll The Bones,Counterparts,Test For ...
Many Rush fans were not so keen on their post mid-80’s output although I was a fan of most of the albums (sadly my least favourate Rush album is one of these remasters).
Plus the album has the guitar further up in the mix whilst still keeping the keyboards as a prime instrument.
The one album that has grown in my estimation is ‘Test For Echo’ (***1/2), released in 1996.

 ALBUM PREVIEW - PRESTO BALLET/ “Peace Among The Ruins"
Presto Ballet is the new band from Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof.
Evoking a classic 70’s feel, their debut album “Peace Among The Ruins” heralds a return to a time when music was at its most colourful and influential.
An album full of tasteful guitar parts, crunching Hammond organ and rich vocals, the band follows a path previously tread by rock pioneers such as Kansas, Yes, Genesis and Deep Purple.

 THE ULTIMATE RUSH ALBUM part 4
Presto is one of Rush's least punchy albums, while the Vapor Trails mix is so awfully in your face, it ranks as the worst sounding album I own.
The remaster of Presto gave it a bit more life, and I am dying for the VT remaster--though I worry the sound of the album is beyond help.
Presto took a very long time for me to warm up to, but in the last few years I have really come to like the album (which years ago simply gathered dust along with Caress of Steel).

 Presto! New Rush album reaches magical heights
The themes of their albums and songs have encompassed extended mythical epics, science fiction, politics, society and one's need for individuality, and even music itself.
Other African-influenced sounds are used throughout the album, such as the flute in the background of "The Pass." Suicide is addressed in this haunting composition.
Much of this album deals with what things appear to be and what they really are.

 Múm: Yesterday Was Dramatic - Today Is OK: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
This album is simply bursting with gorgeous ones, penetrating the dense background and making it one of the most deeply, purely emotionally affecting albums of the year.
One of the album's many highlights, and the track that got me into this whole thing in the first place, is "There is a Number of Small Things," perhaps the most astonishingly beautiful track to be found here.
From the start of the album, it's not entirely clear what sounds are being synthesized and what sounds are being drawn from traditional instruments-- and from the start of the album, it doesn't matter.

 Rush - Presto
All the sounds that they had in the 70's are gone on this album, which doesn't have to be a negative thing.
The thing with this album is that a lot of the songs sound just the same, which makes the listener a little bored after a while.
This may also just be me, but it's very hard for me to just lie down and listen to the whole of Presto.

 Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by rock band Presto Ballet called Peace Amongst The Ruins
If you long for Moogs, mellotrons and some simply stunning harmonies than this album will be a delight and one to treasure.
Just listen to the vocal arrangements on ‘The Fringes’ (vocalist Scot Albright is ably suited to the big, bombastic arrangements on the album) or the classic Hammond organ/Moog sounds used on ‘Seasons’ and ‘Find The Time’.
Wonderful album and recommended to all lovers of classic 70’s pomp/prog rock.

 Music : Presto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
Rush's album Presto is known as the album where the band abandoned the heavy synth sound from their previous releases from Signals through Hold Your Fire and a return to the heavy rock sound that made them famous.
Rush's 16th album Presto was released in November of 1989.
The album was the start of the band's fourth phase and the first for Atlantic in the US, although it's technically on the band's own label Anthem which was distributed by Atlantic in the US.

Presto Ballet is the new band from Kurdt Vanderhoof, who is well known for his work as a member of the legendary heavy metal band Metal Church.
The name is similar to their Gutter Ballet album, whilst the title takes me back to Savatage's "Ghost in the Ruins" song on their Streets masterpiece.
The lineup on the album may not be the most well-known musicians, but they're no newcomers.

 Blogcritics.org: Rush remasters Vapor Trails, Presto, and other Atlantic studio releases
Bassist Geddy Lee mixed the album and wound up hating the resulting product because he couldn't get a good sound out of it, but guitarist Alex Lifeson, pumped up by the music he heard on it, convinced him to leave it along and release it so they could get out on the road again.
I have to agree that the Presto remaster is not as dramatic as I would have hoped, although in some systems (like cranked through my home studio system w/ bi-amped Mackie speakers), the bottom end is certainly more present.
To my ears, the bass end on Presto is very low and was likely recorded and mixed at lower volumes, and the remaster simply takes away some of the more brittle highs to enhance the mids and lows, and takes up the bass and some mids...

 RUSH Presto reviews and MP3
The album begins with Show Don't Tell, which could be a prequel to the upcoming behemoth beat of Roll the Bones.
A solid entry in the discography, PRESTO is an interesting segue to their 'back to rock' albums that follow.
This album deserves much more attention than it receives but it is not a complete progressive rock masterpiece, hence my rating of 4 stars.

 Buy Online, Presto Album Music CD From 724openstore.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
The biggest problem with this album is the extensive repetition of the Chorus.
Ive listened to this album many times, and tracks like "Superconductor" must be skipped, because if I hear "Watch his every move!" another time, I'd probly never listen to Rush again.
Despite those setbacks, "Presto" is Rushes best album since 1982's "Signals." You also will not hear another album as good until 2002's "Vapor Trails," which completely annihilates Rush's entire catalouge.

Evoking a classic 70's feel, their debut album "Peace Among The Ruins" heralds a return to a time when music was at its most colorful and influential.
Vanderhoof describes the album from a production point of view, "We recorded the whole album in a somewhat 'old school' manner, which means analog synthesizers, real Hammond organ and real Mellotron sounds".
All of the tracks from "Peace Among The Ruins" were recorded using an analog tape machine, which was another nod to the sounds of the seventies.

If you’re looking for a progrock album of the ‘old school’, then look no further and purchase this “Peace Among The Ruins”, the first album from Presto Ballet, which is the new band from Metal Church guitar player Kurdt Vanderhoof.
With Presto Ballet, it was our aim to return to a more natural feel while keeping as melodic and musical as possible.” All I can add is that they succeeded with flying colours!
This is indeed a very impressive melodic progressive hardrock album and it's wonderful that a metal head like Kurdt Vanderhoof can come up with such a strong melodic souding album.
