A letter from Tom Scholz regarding the newly remastered Debut album and Don't Look Back!

What the Deuce IS UP With Boston?

My apologies to you all for the unintentional silence about Boston activities and plans, especially concerning a reissue of the first two Boston albums. Oddly enough I was just beginning a letter like this, when that topic jumped onto my computer, forcing me to drop everything, including communicating with all of you.

So now you know I do see postings on these sites! Not all of them, but enough to know your collective feelings about Boston, and btw, thank you.

BOSTON'S Corporate America: Timely music for a modern world

Corporate America

According to Scholz, "We wanted to do more than just make another CD that sounded like classic BOSTON. We really like current music, and each writer/performer brought something new and unique to the effort."

Forget about categorizing their music, and just enjoy it; it is still unmistakably BOSTON.

The song "Corporate America" by a mysterious unknown group called DOWNER'S REVENGE has risen from oblivion to #1 on MP3.com's progressive rock chart in just one week.

There was no corporate marketing or promotion whatsoever for this MP3.com debut, just the band and their friends emailing the link to other listeners. The music and the message in the song took over from there and created a snowball, or maybe an avalanche!
