[Sound & Vision: Alex Lifeson Interview]

The February issue of Sound & Vision magazine has a short interview with Alex Lifeson. It's available online. In it he discusses mixing R30 and Rush in Rio and how they differ. He also said this when asked about remixing Rush's studio catalog in surround:

It's something that I think we [the band] will discuss. I really love the format now. Surround is a great, uplifiting experience, and I think we have some records that we'd consider doing that way. Again, we haven't spoken about any of this yet. But on my own, I'm thinking something like 2112 is pretty obvious. We're coming up on the 30th anniversary of 2112 in 2006, so that might be interesting. For example, "Discovery" [Part III of the title track], has running water, and you could be sitting right by that little stream, you know .... It would be quite dramatic and dynamic.

Probably the safe thing to say is that I'm much more open to doing this as long as the integrity of the original content isn't messed with.

This would be the coolest thing ever. I hope he can convince Geddy and Neil to along with it.
