Alex Lifeson of Rush has revealed that the band has never been satisfied with the final mix of their 2002 album Vapor Trails and are now planning to remix it.
While speaking with Classic Rock magazine, the guitarist said they probably should have taken more time with the album the first time around.
"We were never happy with the production," said Lifeson. "Perhaps we should have taken more time over the record. But now we've got the chance to improve things. There will be no re-recording, just a remix."
The news comes at a busy time for the prog-rock giants, who head out for the second leg of their American Time Machine tour on March 30. According to Lifeson, they will also hit the studio soon.
"We only have two or three more songs that we feel we need for the album. So we can start reworking the material and get it in great shape. Then we'll prepare for the tour in March, finish in July, take the summer off then start work in earnest in September," he recently told Guitarist magazine.
