[PAR] [TLE] 2112 (album) [SEP] 2112 (pronounced ""twenty-one twelve"") is the fourth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush.  Released on 1 April 1976, it features the seven-part title suite composed by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, with lyrics written by Neil Peart telling a dystopian story set in the year 2112.  It is sometimes described as a concept album although the songs on the second side are unrelated to the suite.  Rush repeated this arrangement on the 1978 album "Hemispheres". [PAR] [TLE] 2112 (song) [SEP] "2112" (pronounced twenty-one twelve) is a side-long title track from Canadian rock band Rush's 1976 album of the same name.  The overture and the first section, "Temples of Syrinx", were released as a single and have been featured in most of Rush's setlists since.  The "sci-fi" sounds in the beginning of the song were created using an ARP Odyssey synthesizer and an Echoplex tape delay.  On the "2112 / Moving Pictures" episode of the documentary series "Classic Albums", producer Terry Brown states the synth intro is composed of various parts played by Hugh Syme that were put together in a collage.  Since 1997, when any parts of the song are performed live, they are transposed down one full step, as heard on every live album and DVD from "Different Stages" forward.
