Power Windows is the eleventh studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released on October 14, 1985 by Anthem Records. After touring in support of their previous album, Grace Under Pressure (1984), the band took a break and reconvened in early 1985 to work on a follow-up. The material continued to display the band’s exploration of synthesizer-oriented music, this time with the addition of sampling, electronic drums, a string section, and choir, with power being a running lyrical theme. Power Windows was recorded in Montserrat and England with Peter Collins as co-producer and Andy Richards on additional keyboards. The album reached No. 2 in Canada, No. 9 in the United Kingdom, and No. 10 in the United States. In January 1986, the album reached platinum certification for one million copies sold in the United States. Rush released five singles from the album between 1985 and 1986: “The Big Money”, “Territories”, “Manhattan Project”, “Mystic Rhythms”, and “Marathon”. The band supported the album with their 1985–1986 tour.
Like much of the band’s ’80s output, Power Windows finds Rush juggling their hard-rock heritage with new technology to mixed results. With Alex Lifeson choosing sparse, horn-like guitar bursts over actual crunch, Geddy Lee’s synthesizers running rampant, and Neil Peart’s crisp, clinical percussion and stark lyrical themes (evoking cold urban landscapes), the result just may be the trio’s “coldest” album ever. Still, it does boast its share of important tracks in “Marathon” and “Manhattan Project,” while offering an energetic, tongue-in-cheeck hit single in “The Big Money.” In an album that rewards patience (repeated listens are the key), the most gripping moments are saved for last, with the beautifully eerie textures of “Mystic Rhythms,” a song that was later used as a concert drum solo showcase for Peart.
