I do know that Alex plays the taurus pedals as well, but mostly to trigger sequencers and other samples. Neil does the same as well, but with his electronic percussion. He might hit one of his Roland V pads that's programmed to trigger the sequencer during the chorus segments of The Spirit Of Radio... I don't know of he controls that sequencer during that song for sure. I was was just using that as an example

Love the Power Windows album! It’s my favorite 80s Rush Album besides Moving Pictures. Signals and GUP are also great. I like HYF and Presto as well, but I don’t see them as strong as the other ones from that decade, but those are still great albums. Rush never really had a single terrible album in my opinion, which is one of the reasons that I love them. They kept the same lineup since Fly by Night all the way to the end, and were one of the best bands when it came to adapting their sound to meet the current style of rock. The straight up Proggy 70s stuff was their best no question, but they were really good at taking the Prog rock approach to New Wave style music in the 80s, and a more straight Hard Rock sound from the 90s onward! I love every era of Rush, they were just so freaking good! Rip to the Neil “The Professor” Peart. Genius Lyric writer, and better at lyrics than all rappers. Rush is always Dirk Lerxst and Pratt. I’m 20 years old, and I need my generation Z to listen to some Rush because the rap thing isn’t as cool as Rush!
