  • More Than a Feeling / Boston

    • From: Slingblade
    • Description:

      This is the very first song I ever listened to on an Alpine Car Audio System.  I was sitting in the back seat of my friend's Firebird.  His name was Gary.  He was undoubtedly the coolest guy in school.  He always had a smile on his face for anyone he'd meet, and he was always getting me into trouble.   The good kind of trouble. 

      As we raced down a stretch of rural highway, he turned to me and said, "Hey, ever heard Boston?"  Without waiting for an answer, he pulled a cassette tape from his sunvisor and pushed it into the Alpine Deck.  What followed was 500 watts of music that sent chills up the back of my neck.  The sensation could only be described as a warped slowing of time, eerie familiarity, and unrelenting etching of a memory that one feels when they experience déjà vu.

      I later moved to Irving, and three years had passed since that day.  I'd been in Irving a few weeks and the phone rang one day.  Gary had been killed in rollover.  To this day, almost twenty years later, I still experience that same sensation that I did all those years ago in the back seat of Gary's old Firebird when I hear this song.

       


      Original album liner notes:
      If you're looking for something to tell you that the band in question is composed of nearly notable former members of various bands, or how many jam sessions the drummer sat in on with rock superstars who are now dead or disabled, or retired, forget it. Unless the names Mother's Milk, Middle Earth, or the Revolting Tunes Revue ring any particular bells, where the people who make up this band called Boston came from is irrelevant to who and where they are now.

      Listen to the record!

      As to how the band came together, we'll let lead signer Bradley Delp tell the story: "Fran knew Barry, and I knew Fran, and Fran had played with Sib, and Sib had played with Tom, and Tom knew me, but Fran didn't know that I knew that he knew Barry to, so what happened was..."

      Listen to the record!

      If you still need more information, try this. Boston is masterminded by a guitarist named Tom Scholz. An MIT graduate with a masters degree in Mechanical Engineering, Tom was living a split existence at the time his concept for Boston began to fall together. By day, he was a highly-touted member of a product design wing of a major Massachusetts-based corporation, helping to develop all sorts of media machinery he's not supposed to talk about. By night he was a member of any one of a handful of constantly shifting bands on the North Shore club circuit in Boston. Considering the day gig, when he bought 12-track recording equipment and began experimenting with basement tapes, mastering the machinery at his disposal posed no great problem. With these extraordinary homemade demo tapes, the band was soon better known to record company executives in L.A. and New York than it was to taste-mongers in its own hometown.

      Listen to the record!

      If you insist on having it further spelled out for you, consider this, what distinguishes Boston's music is although by it's definition heavy rock and roll, it evidences a greater concern for melodic and harmonic flow than practically any band you can think of working the same general territory. Also, consider the use of technology as an instrument, all the more remarkable because this is a first album. Of the tendency for technology to take over in the hands of lesser practitioners, Tom Scholz says, "It depends completely on the person using it. People have already fallen prey to that, in my opinion, with items that they just go out and buy to get a certain sound without really understanding where that sound comes from and how to apply it." Those who question how precise technology of the group's record will translate to a live environment will discover that, with the aid of some special sound innovations developed for performance by Scholz, the Boston concert will easily be a comparable experience to the Boston album. That's a lot to look forward to, but you know where to start.

      Listen to the record!
