Alex Lifeson’s (Rush) 1996 Solo Album Victor on 2LP. Features Les Claypool (Primus) on Bass Guitar.
Victor is a solo album by Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson under the pseudonym “Victor”, released in January 1996 on Anthem Records. The album was recorded at Lerxst Sound (Lifeson’s home studio) from October 1994 through July 1995.
The album reached number 99 on the Billboard 200 in 1996 and received a 1997 Juno Award nomination for Best New Group.
Victor is an odd blend of modern hard rock and swirling, programming-heavy songs. Lifeson’s trademark Rush guitar style – ringing chords and sharp, brief solos – is utilized in some places, but not throughout. Guest musicians on Victor include I Mother Earth vocalist Edwin, Primus bassist Les Claypool and Lifeson’s son, Adrian Zivojinovich, who contributes programming. Also fts chanteuse noir, Lisa Dalbello , doing lead vox on 1 track…
