Hello! Hello? (cheap echo joke; sorry)

Sure, RUSH is the greatest band in the world... but that's not the point of this post-ette; this IS NOT a music blog. :)

While listening (way too loud too... huh?) yesterday to RUSH's 1996 masterpiece TEST FOR ECHO (their 16th slab of sonic alchemy)... I noticed that at about the 2:45 point of Alex Lifeson's instrumental goodie (LIMBO) that the boys "sample" the great iconic line (you know the one - - the great spoken line/question from Dracula) that appears in MONSTER MASH, arguably the greatest
HORROR/MONSTER music schtick in the history of novelty recording from Bobby "Boris" Pickett.

And the art work on the cover of the album (above) along with a couple of interior art-pieces, in a "side-ways" kind of way channels some Lovecraftian Antarctica vibes of cyclopian dread (The Mountains of Madness).
COOL!
