Imaginos II: Bombs Over Germany (minus zero and counting) is an album by founding Blue Öyster Cult member Albert Bouchard. It also contains guest appearances by other Blue Öyster Cult members Buck Dharma, Eric Bloom, Richie Castellano, and Joe Bouchard. It was released in October 2021.Bombs Over Germany is a long-belated Act II in the Imaginos series of Rock Operas always planned for Blue Öyster Cult by their producer Sandy Pearlman, who wrote many lyrics based on a fictional universe he had created called The Soft Doctrines of Imaginos. Pearlman and Bouchard co-wrote the plot of the Soft Doctrines, which follows a shapeshifting, sex-swapping, time-hopping Humanoid Abomination named Imaginos/Desdinova who is charged with corrupting human society and causing wars by seven god-aliens referred to as "Les Invisibles". Various production conflicts and real-life logistics delayed the production of an Imaginos album proper until 1982, with the recording of Albert Bouchard's demo tape, the original form of the 1988 Imaginos album that was eventually released by Blue Öyster Cult among legal issues.After Sandy Pearlman's death in 2016, Albert Bouchard decided to finish the saga in his honor, vowing to finally complete and elucidate the long-obscured narrative and rescue The Soft Doctrines of Imaginos from being an Orphaned Series.The plot of Imaginos II has not been officially clarified by Bouchard at this time and is still relatively up in the air. However, it focuses on the large-scale effects of Imaginos' manipulation of history and society on the orders of Les Invisibles during the 20th century, specifically spanning the years 1918 to 1999. Having already indirectly caused World War I Imaginos seems to style himself as a sort of Rebel Leader, leading an oppressed group in revolution and founding a "dream-state" known as Plutonia. The presence of Imaginos' "revolutionaries", the oyster-like alien Blue Öyster Cultists and the Magna of Illusion are also implied to heavily corrupt society and lead to the chaos that defined the 20th century. Most of the songs on the album are not narrated by Imaginos and follow a variety of characters like Jack, the narrator of "Dominance and Submission" who becomes ambiguously involved with Imaginos' cult, and Captain von Ondine, a Luftwaffe pilot and probable cultist who participates in the final air battle of World War II during "Bombs Over Germany". The album ends with the destruction of human civilization through nuclear war, implicitly through the involvement of Imaginos and Plutonia.The songs on the album are reworked versions of older material written by Pearlman, Bouchard, and Blue Öyster Cult (with the exception of one track, "Il Duce"). Most were previously released as Blue Öyster Cult tracks. Some of the songs, like "Half Life Time", were always intended as part of the Soft Doctrines, while others like "Quicklime Girl" were inserted into the setting afterwards. Albert Bouchard is planning to release the final installment of the saga in 2022, along with an accompanying graphic novel.Tracklist"When War Comes" (7:51)"Independence Day" (3:47)"7 Screaming Dizbusters" (7:37)"OD'd on Life Itself" (4:03)"Il Duce" (3:59)"Bombs Over Germany" (4:50)"Before the Kiss (A Redcap) (5:02)"Three Sisters" (3:37)"Quicklime Girl (Mistress of the Salmon Salt)" (6:14)"The Red and the Black" (4:54)"Dominance and Submission" (5:44)"Shadow of California" (6:04)"Cities on Flame (With Rock and Roll)" (4:33)"Half Life Time" (6:20)Tropes found in Imaginos II: Bombs Over Germany (minus zero and counting) include: | |
