In the first MelodicAOR podcast we analyze and examine the history, musicianship and unrecognized song writing and talent of the Montreal based group Beau Geste as possessed in their 1986 Release, Another Night In The City. Being one of the first English Quebec rock groups; the band garnered a lot of airplay locally and provincially. Assisted by producer Aldo Nova - The incredibly talented Bryan Hughes (Bryan Hughes Group, Devay) drastically made a profound positive impact on the bands overall production and musical direction. The album was released with a unique, well produced hard rock / AOR sound that did not garner the attention it should have with the opening track "Take These Chains" going to number 1 in the Quebec Radio charts in 1986. Supporting tracks such as "Another Night In The City", "Still Of The Night" , "No More Heroes" and "Running From Your Heart" are some of many memorable tracks that should of at least charted on a national scale. Released during the midst of the growing and ever popular AOR music scene it should of been a commercial success. A perceived lack of label support, money and promotion for this group limited the group's exposure mainly to Quebec and the east coast of Canada. With the internet many people globally are quickly discovering how amazing this album is. Give it a listen. You wont be disappointed. Highly recommended album and group!
