Pantheon - Podcasts for Music Lovers

Most bands toil for years honing their sound, locking down their lineup, playing gigs around their hometown and then regionally before hitting it big. Though the predecessor to Boston, Mother's Milk, did play gigs in Massachusetts, the visionary on the sound that would become Boston's trademark was Tom Scholz. Tom was not your typical rock star in that he had a master's degree from MIT and was working as an engineer at Polaroid while strategizing on his musical career. He wanted to combine the melodies of the classical music he grew up on with the rock music of the 70s that he loved. He wanted crunching guitars against clear vocals and when he found Brad Delp, he had the voice that make his music soar.

Instead of toiling after hours at a studio, Scholz acquired and engineered a 12 track recording unit and figured out how to the get the sound he wanted. When signed by CBS, they wanted to re-record the songs at a fancy studio but industry vet John Boylan basically ran interference with the suits so Scholz could perfect his songs and transfer the demos to the master tapes (and he got their name changed to Boston). The result sold 17 million copies in the US and was the biggest selling debut for a rock album until Appetite for Destruction by Guns N Roses.

While some of the songs actually charted, all of them became classic rock radio staples. Anyone who grew up on rock radio heard More Than a Feeling, Smokin', Rock & Roll Band, Peace of Mind and Let Me Take You Home Tonight (the only track written by Brad Delp solo) hundreds of times. Foreplay/Longtime were split as different sides of the single but together offer a bit of progginess to the bands repertoire. Though Tom Scholz is educated, his lyrics are themes that most people can relate to - choosing your passion or going corporate, trying to find woman, fantasizing about your future, and taking risks that may or may not pay off. Those guitar hooks and strong vocals make for some AOR platinum.

Say what you want about the band or their sound but this first album struck a chord all over America and still sounds big a bold to this day.

I try to plan my podcasts in such a way that it looks like I know what
I'm doing. This is one such episode that may give you pause for
thought....

I'd made a list of albums I wanted to discuss this year. Since that list
was written on a scrappy piece of paper and not in a spreadsheet
saved on my laptop....well you can guess what happened to it. The I
decided to just wing it with an episode of three short form ramblings
about albums I wasn't sure I could spend a whole episode on. One
recorded segment in, I decided on a new album I wanted to discuss
with a partner and talk long form. So, common sense would say, do one
or the other....I don't have common sense.

Welcome to episode 195 of Love That Album.

I devote the first part of the show to an incredible album I only
discovered in January of this year. It's a 2011 release on the great
New Zealand label, Flying Nun from a composer and musician new to me called Grayson Gilmour. The album is called No Constellation, and
it's a revelation. Gilmour is not only a brilliant composer, but
listening to this and subsequent albums, he's an incredible arranger.
How do I describe this album in a few words? It's as if Brian Wilson
circa Smile had written math rock. Makes sense? Of course not....but
I do my best to put the music in context and convince you that you
need this LP in your life.

In the second part of the show, I am joined once again by music
journalist Jeff Jenkins to discuss the new compilation on the
recently revived Popboomerang label, Shake Yer Popboomerang 4. The
label was started a quarter of a century ago (!!!) by Melbourne pop
obsessive Scott Thurling. He's been a champion of the local pop scene
and has released over a hundred albums by great Australian pop bands.
He's released many fine albums, but his compilations in particular
are amazing. He's got a knack for convincing bands to provide him
(mostly) with unreleased cuts. We're not talking bottom of the barrel
– he always gets top notch songs – then he curates them into
collections that flow really well, despite many of the acts being
quite diverse. Scott doesn't always feel comfortable behind the mic
(although I did coax him for an earlier episode of LTA), but Jeff
being a fellow Popboomerang fan was very keen to join me in
discussing this latest collection as well as a history of the label.

There is a common link between the two albums. I love 'em both, and they're both on important independent labels. Have at it.

The New Zealand music website I mention in the show and highly recommend is Audioculture.co.nz.

My huge thanks to JJ for his great conversation and enthusiasm. We'll
hear from him again at the year end favourites episode.

You can find either of these great albums on Bandcamp.

whatever podcast platform you listen on and let your friends know

adversaries to tune in. I don't care who listens.....
