Albert Bouchard is best known as a founding member of Blue \u00d6yster Cult. The original line-up sold millions of albums for Columbia Records, with such classic songs as \u201c(Don\u2019t Fear) The Reaper\u201d and the #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart \u201cBurning For You\u201d. Contributing to songwriting, drums, and lead vocals on some of their greatest songs, such as \u201cCites on Flame with Rock and Roll\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the success of \u201cRe Imaginos\u201d last year, Albert Bouchard is now back with \u201cImaginos 2 \u2013 Bombs Over Germany (minus zero and counting)\u201d, continuing the Trilogy of Imaginos, a concept album about an alien conspiracy that is brought to fruition during the late 19th and early 20th century through the actions of Imaginos, an agent of evil. The album weaves scripts and poems by the late Sandy Pearlman. It features guests Ross The Boss (Dictators), Joe Cerisano (Silver Condor, TSO), and reunites original Blue \u00d6yster Cult members Eric Bloom, Donald \u201cBuck Dharma\u201d Roeser and Joe Bouchard, as well current BOC member Richie Castellano, who all contribute to this latest installment. The album also features reworks of classics like \u201cCities on Flame with Rock and Roll\u201d, \u201cThe Red and the Black\u201d, and \u201cDominance and Submission\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first single from the album is \u201cOD\u2019d On Life Itself\u201d and Albert had this to say about it, \u201cThis version of OD\u2019d On Life Itself is a very different take on the song that was recorded for BOC\u2019s second album, Tyranny and Mutation. The lyrics return to the original lyrics written by Sandy Pearlman, much less sarcastic and much more spooky. The track reflects that change with a simpler and more spacious arrangement with just acoustic guitar, mysterioso guitar, violin, drums and bass. The stand out lyrics are \u201cDon\u2019t you fear this trade in lives\u201d and \u201cThis wedding by heaven was made up in hell\u201d which portend to the darker nature of this second act in the Imaginos saga.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Bruce Pucciarello comments, \u201cWith a comic book based on his Re-Imaginos album in development, and Albert continually stepping it up to represent each musical piece with a personal dedication to the original vision, Imaginos II is exactly what it is supposed to be, an epic\u2026thank you Albert.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n To celebrate Imaginos II, there are limited editionbundles (while supplies last), which can be ordered via: https:\/\/bit.ly\/AlbertBouchard<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Product Includes:<\/strong>
