[Impending Rush, Dolores O'Riordan Releases]

UPDATE - 2/23@10:04PM: Reader Samuel S posted this in the comments but I thought I should call your attention to it. It's a link to the website for Ocean Way Studios (Studio D) where the mixing was done. The site has several great pics. Check it out here.

As we've known for some time now, Richard Chycki was in charge of mixing the upcoming Rush album Snakes and Arrows. Richard has a blog and over the weekend put up a post about the experience of working with Rush and producer Nick Raskulinecz. Here it is:

Since the late fall, I've been in the studio recording and mixing a new CD for Rush with Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Stone Sour) producing. Recording was completed at Allaire Studios in Shokan, New York during November/December 2006. I mixed the CD in the Neve 88R room (Studio D) at Ocean Way Studios in Los Angeles.

Experiencing their immense musical talent and personal integrity over the course of an entire CD was truly inspirational. And Nick is such an enthusiastic, focused talent as well -- a rocker through and through too. A small snippet of the first single 'Far Cry' is posted at rush.com .... enjoy the 'hemispheres chord' ... heh heh heh.

As a side note, Rush's R30 DVD has been nominated for a Juno Award for DVD of the Year....

So Richard also sees the Hemispheres comparison! There's also a neat pic of Rush, Nick and Rich in the studio. Thanks to reader Alessandro M for the heads up.
