This was basically a 'label made' album with several guest guitarists as well as the band. The original "Imaginos" project contained over 90 minutes of music, and budgets wouldn't allow for the complete package. The "complete" Imaginos story spans 200 years from the beginning of the 19 Century to the end of the 20th. At the time the album was recorded, two other parts were anticipated, titled (according to Sandy Pearlman) "Germany Minus Zero And Counting" and "The Mutant Reformation". Albert Bouchard has indicated that possible titles for "Germany Minus Zero And Counting" were "Half-Life Time", and "Bombs Over Germany". According to Albert Bouchard, the following songs were left off of "Imaginos": "Gil Blanco County", "The Girl That Love Made Blind", "Blue Oyster Cult Reprise", "Imaginos Overture", and an acapella reprise of the first verse of "Magna Of Illusion". Also, the song "Shadow Of California" (from the album, "The Revolution By Night") was originally intended, in one form or another, to be on the second "Imaginos" album. It is possible that "Shadow Of California" was partially re-worked from an Albert Bouchard song, "Half-Life Time", which contains the lyrics that later appeared as the spoken intro to the "Club Ninja" song, "When The War Comes". It is unlikely that the full Imaginos saga will ever be completed, at least not by BOC. |
