As I have 'Imaginos' raging away on the Grado's as I read your posting,
I felt compelled to jump in on this one...

Imaginos is, to one degree or another, the culmination of all those
yuears of Sandy & Al's writing.  Or so it seems to me, the not-quite
neophyte re-immersing himself in the lore after years astray...

I would buy anything released by either the 3OC of the present, or
by Al, sight unseen, if it bore the word Imaginos anywhere in it's title.
I suppose it's B.O.C.'s own angle on 'rock opera'...

It 'feels' so much 'larger' in relative scale to the other recordings.
I would give a variety of essential body parts to hear the original
band perform it amongst themselves, without 'guest musicians'.
But I suppose this is a topic long since worn out.  Just had to
plop myself into position... =)
