ALBERT BOUCHARD is best known as a founding member of Blue Öyster Cult. The original line-up sold millions of albums for Columbia Records, with such classic songs as “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” and the #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart “Burning For You”. Contributing to songwriting, drums, and lead vocals on some of their greatest songs, such as “Cites on Flame with Rock and Roll”.

With the success of “Re Imaginos” last year, Albert Bouchard is now back with “Imaginos 2 – Bombs Over Germany (minus zero and counting)”, 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. The second single from the album is “Independence Day” which features Blue Öyster Cult alumni Joe Bouchard on vocals and Albert had this to say about it, “Independence Day was the last song written for the Bombs Over Germany record. It was an idea Sandy Pearlman had while we were working on the original Imaginos record in 1983 but all we had was a chorus and some ideas about what the verses would be. When I visited Sandy in the hospital in 2016 I sang what I had of the song for him and asked him to please get better so we could finish it. 

Unfortunately he was not able to do that so last year I enlisted my brother Joe to help me finish the song. We already had some lyrics but we added some lines to help move the story along. I liked what he did so much I used his vocal for the lead. He actually created a complete track of the song playing all the instruments. I replaced his drums with mine, had David Hirschberg replace his bass part with a better sound and David and I sang along in the choruses to the part he had already recorded to add some extra fullness to it. My favorite part is the trumpets in the bridge section. I am very happy with how it came out and it makes a great t addition to the Imaginos saga.”

The first single from the album is “OD’d On Life Itself” and Albert had this to say about it, “This version of OD’d On Life Itself is a very different take on the song that was recorded for BOC’s 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 “Don’t you fear this trade in lives” and “This wedding by heaven was made up in hell” which portend to the darker nature of this second act in the Imaginos saga.”

Deko Entertainment is very excited to continue their relationship with Albert and RockHeart Records and plans are already underway for the third installment and accompanying Imaginos comic book currently in development.  President Bruce Pucciarello comments, “With 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…thank you Albert.”

The fans have been so supporting of this release and I can’t wait for them to see the show.”

“Re Imaginos” came out on November 6th though RockHeart Records / Deko Entertainment (ADA/Warner Music Group) and hit the Billboard Top 100 (#97), Albert’s first time back on the charts in 32 years. Due to the overwhelming demand, “Re Imaginos” is now being released as a limited-edition vinyl release. This special run comes as a double LP gatefold edition, including extended versions of “In the Presence of Another World”, “Imaginos”, “Blue Oyster Cult”, plus the bonus instrumental, “Imaginos Overture”. And if that is not enough, the album also features liner notes by Rolling Stone editor, David Fricke. This is the ultimate presentation of the unique story that is Imaginos.

Albert is very excited to bring this to the fans as he states, “This vinyl release brings the vision for ‘Imaginos’ full circle, where the songs come out as a gatefold double vinyl release with each side telling a specific part of the story. It also sounds the way that Sandy and I wanted it to sound with plenty for volume and yet, plenty of headroom too. The extended mixes take advantage of the multitude of guitar tracks that I had available and also add some extra drama to some songs (as if it was really needed). Finally, it has the long-lost version of ‘Imaginos Overture’ that was planned for the original ‘Imaginos’ record, with more contributions from Joe Bouchard, Greg Holt, RJ Ronquillo, Ross The Boss Friedman, and Ace Bouchard.” Deko Entertainment president Bruce Pucciarello adds, “Finally, delivered the way it needed to be.  A spiritual, soulful journey that Albert was always meant to take us on, his way.  Wonderful.”

BLUE ÖYSTER CULT Co-Founder Albert Bouchard has released a new single and video for “Blue Öyster Cult” from the “Re Imaginos” album, which was released yesterday, November 6th.

Albert Bouchard is best known as a founding member of Blue Öyster Cult. The original line-up sold millions of albums for Columbia Records, with such classic songs as “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” and the #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart “Burning for You”. Contributing to songwriting, drums, and lead vocals on some of their greatest songs, such as “Cites on Flame with Rock and Roll”.

“Re Imaginos” is out on November 6th through he and his brother’s (Joe Bouchard) new imprint label, RockHeart Records / Deko Entertainment (ADA/Warner Music Group).  Critics are already embracing Albert’s  reimagining of the 1988 Blue Öyster Cult release, “Imaginos”.

Here is what Albert had to say about the second single and video “Blue Oyster Cult”, “Blue Oyster Cult was a poem that Sandy Pearlman wrote in the late 60s. When Blue Oyster Cult was finalizing our recording contract with Columbia Records we took the poem as our band name. Eric Bloom put Sandy’s poem to music on our third album, Secret Treaties. This version is different from that but very similar to the version I created for the original Imaginos album in 1988. It tells the story of a sailor who has been put ashore and is discovered by the Blue Oyster Cult, non-human beings who nurse Imaginos back to health and give him a mission to find the mysterious black mirror, hidden deep in the jungles of the Yucatan peninsula.”

Albert’s infamous cowbell part in “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” was the basis of the classic Will Ferrell skit on SNL, which also starred Christopher Walken. With “The Reaper,” an all-time classic on YouTube and every other digital platform, with zillions of views, the Bouchard brothers are forever cemented in pop culture.
