Amazon offers Workshop of the Telescopes (Audio CD),26 September, 1995 List price $19.98 America's best hard rock band / 4 I would almost say "America's Best Heavy Metal Band," but that would not be true for disc two. But in America, only Blue Oyster Cult had the heaviness to rival the overseas likes of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest or other similarly hued bands of the time. They were also uniquely urbane (hailing from NYC), which meant that they were frequently witty and sarcastic, and far more literate than most bands. From those first three classic studio albums (and the incredible double document "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees"), you get the first disc. Frankly, it's a blue-print for how to make a "Career of Evil," with such deviant metal anthems like "Cities On Flame With Rock and Roll," aliens come to your house groovers like "Flaming Telepaths" and a summer of love disclaimer called "Tranmaniacon MC" (about Altamont). Blue Oyster Cult flirted with dangerous imagery, SM, and biker mythology, making their lure of the forbidden too much to resist. It didn't hurt that they also had a white-hot guitarist in "Buck Dharma" Roeser, who's "Buck's Boogie" can be heard here in its firefingered glory. Match that to the general excellence of the players, and you have here a disc of incredible rock and roll. Ah, but commercial success was in their red and black hearts. Deciding that being heavy and being polished were not mutually exclusive, "Agents Of Fortune" delivered a stunning lightning bolt of maturity....and a top 40 single. Morphing a Byrdsian riff and "Romeo and Juliet" lore into "Don't Fear The Reaper" gave the band their breakthrough and their curse. The platinum success of "Agents Of Fortune" garunteed that the band no longer would ever be in a situation where they would lack the time it took to buff any composition to its highest polish. It follows that, for the second disc, BOC transfomed into an incredible arena rock band of the highest order. "Veteran of The Psychic Wars" indeed! They did have one more amazing album in them, the dark and lush "Spectres" (Phil Spector pun likely intended). With an incredible sci-fi biker epic backed by a boy's choir, "The Golden Age Of Leather" was a mini-opera that even Queen would be proud of. The BOC was also being exulted enough that the likes of Ian Hunter could be found co-writing songs ("Going Through The Motions"). The band's penchent for tongue-in-cheek lyrics gave them a goofy anthem for the ages in the riff monster, "Godzilla." And who could forget the giant inflatable lizard on the accompaning tour? Alas, after that, the albums were increasingly spotty. "Mirrors," "Cultosouraus Erectus," and "Fire Of Unknown Origin" all have their moments, and some of them are here. (I would have prefered "Black Blade," but that's just me.) After that, the remaining albums are, frankly, represented by their best single songs. "Shooting Shark" was BOC's second best collaboration with punk-poet-preistess Patti Smith, and "Perfect Water" is, well, perfect. Disappointments are to be found here as well. The studio cover of "Born to be Wild" can't hold a candle to the live version. Could've had the "Extra-terrestial Live" version of "Roadhouse Blues" here over about any other live cut. And the Cult's last great hurrah, the concept album "Imaginos" is ignored. Still, for the bang-on-the-buck ratio, "Workshop Of The Telescopes" delivers better than any of the single disc comps.
