About: Imaginos

An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Imaginos is the eleventh studio album by the American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult. It was released in 1988, and was their last recording with their original record label, CBS/Columbia Records. The album took nearly eight years to complete and was originally intended to be the first in a trilogy of solo albums by Blue Öyster Cult drummer and songwriter Albert Bouchard. Bouchard was fired in August 1981, and CBS rejected the album in 1984, but a re-worked version was eventually published as a product of the band. Many guest musicians contributed to the project over this eight-year span, including Joe Satriani, Aldo Nova, and Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, but some band members were barely involved in the recording process. Thus, Imaginos is often considered more as a project of producer

  • Imaginos is the eleventh studio album by the American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult. It was released in 1988, and was their last recording with their original record label, CBS/Columbia Records. The album took nearly eight years to complete and was originally intended to be the first in a trilogy of solo albums by Blue Öyster Cult drummer and songwriter Albert Bouchard. Bouchard was fired in August 1981, and CBS rejected the album in 1984, but a re-worked version was eventually published as a product of the band. Many guest musicians contributed to the project over this eight-year span, including Joe Satriani, Aldo Nova, and Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, but some band members were barely involved in the recording process. Thus, Imaginos is often considered more as a project of producer and lyricist Sandy Pearlman than as a true album of the band. Imaginos weaves scripts and poems by Pearlman, dating from the second half of the 1960s, into a concept album and rock opera 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 tale combines elements of gothic literature and science fiction and is strongly inspired by the work of H. P. Lovecraft. Subtitled "a bedtime story for the children of the damned", it has an intricate storyline whose often-obscure lyrics contain many historical references, prompting speculation by fans and critics. It is often considered one of the heaviest albums released by Blue Öyster Cult, its music more akin to heavy metal than the melodic and commercial hard rock of their two previous works. The poor sales of those albums resulted in record label pressure on the band that led to their disbandment in 1986; a subsequent comeback featured only three members of the classic line-up. The album received some critical acclaim, but was not a commercial success, and Columbia Records ended their contract with Blue Öyster Cult at the completion of the Imaginos Tour. Albert Bouchard, excluded from the recording progress of Imaginos after the initial rejection from Columbia Records, then took legal action against the band and the label to protect his rights as author and producer on the album. Blue Öyster Cult continued to perform and remained a live attraction, but ten years passed before they released an album of new songs. (en)
  • Imaginos es el undécimo álbum de estudio de Blue Öyster Cult, lanzado en 1988 por Columbia Records. El disco, de corte conceptual, sobre ideas y textos del productor, crítico musical y escritor Sandy Pearlman, demandó aproximadamente 8 años hasta estar terminado, siendo en principio concebido como el primero de una ambiciosa trilogía en solitario del batería Albert Bouchard, la cual se realizaría teniendo a Pearlman como mentor, impulsor y colaborador del proyecto.

  • Imaginos est le onzième album studio du groupe de hard rock américain Blue Öyster Cult, sorti en 1988. Cet album-concept est à l'origine conçu comme un album solo du batteur après son renvoi du groupe, en 1981. Il est construit autour d'une histoire conçue par le producteur et parolier Sandy Pearlman, développant une histoire alternative des XIXe et XXe siècles à base de théorie du complot et d'interventions extraterrestres. Une première version de l'album, enregistrée avec l'aide de nombreux musiciens de studio, est rejetée par la maison de disques Columbia Records en 1984. Retravaillé avec l'apport de membres de Blue Öyster Cult, Imaginos paraît finalement sous une forme abrégée en 1988. Musicalement, il relève davantage du genre heavy metal que les deux albums précédents du groupe. Malgré des critiques positives, c'est un échec commercial qui met un terme à leur contrat avec Columbia Records. (fr)
