Product Description
Album Description
RTZ (Return To Zero) began as a collaboration between singer Brad Delp and guitarist Barry Goudreau (both ex Boston) around 1989. They released two albums in 1991 and 1998. Lost and Found is another step of the collaboration from Brad and Barry. The record is made up of never before released tracks that were recorded before the first RTZ CD. These cuts also feature the other original RTZ members and show the development that lead to the first RTZ release. A must have for Boston fans. As a special bonus to the RTZ CD, we offer the latest step of the partnership between Brad Delp and Barry Goudreau, the album aptly entitled Delp & Goudreau. The CD, recorded in Goudreau’s home studio, features all new tracks written by Delp and Goudreau with the intent of making music for the pleasure of making music - pure delight for the melodic rock ears!!! Frontiers. 2004.

RTZ have their feet firmly planted in the seventies/eighties, Feb 9 2005
By George Dionne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lost And Found/Delp And Goudre (Audio CD)
The GoodLost and Found
" One Step Away" is a nice blend of fuzzy eighties guitars and pulsing keys. "Fool for Love" is on the acoustic side, but has a great electric guitar bending lead. One thing you'll start to notice is how RTZ keep their song writing simple (intro-verse-chorus-repeat-solo-repeat). There's no better way to get a song like "Rise Above It All" burned into your head. You know, in that little spot of your brain where it repeats the same song over and over again. "Social Disease" targets tabloid and trash television with a vengeance, with crunchy guitars and strong melodic vocals. `80's cliché alert': a song with the word rock in it-"Rock the Night" is your standard rock anthem about celebrating the end of a long working day. "Power of Love" makes the most of its keyboard leading tones. Dual vocals harmonies recall that classic seventies sound.
Delp & Goudreau
This disc tends to focus more on the duo's lighter, acoustic side. "What You Leave Behind" has an enjoyable acoustic tone to it. Delp is still just as passionate with his vocals as he was with RTZ. Bluesy guitar licks and soulful vocals dominate "Let it Roll". Twangy guitar tones and a simple high hat set the mood on "Out of My Hands". As the tracks builds, it flooded with hard riffs and powerful vocals. It sounds like a lost Pink Floyd track. "Everyday" is a piano driven ballad about enduring love. "The Rhythm Won't Stop" has a country feel to it, while "Reconciliation" is a pure classic rock track.
The Bad
Nothing
The Verdict
Sometimes when a band puts together a CD of unreleased material, you find out exactly why the tracks were never put out before. RTZ is not one of those bands. RTZ have their feet firmly planted in the seventies/eighties classic rock sound, but never ever sound stale.

For the Boston Fan, Feb 9 2005
By Glenn O. Kirms - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lost And Found/Delp And Goudre (Audio CD)
This is one more to add to your collection of Brad Delp cd's. If you like any of Boston's music, then you must pick up the RTZ cd's. If you were very disappointed by the last Boston cd (I've reviewed seperate) entitled Corporate America, this cd should pick you back up. Certainly this is melodic music and certainly carries on with that unique Boston sound that boost Brad Delp into prominence. This may be lacking as far as creativity and is simply just for your listening pleasure. Make sure you pick up all their cd's (RTZ, Lost, Lost and Found). This cd comes with a bonus cd entitled Delp and Goudreau which is a must have also for Boston fans. More info about this band can also be found at nehrecords.com or barrygoudreau.com or bandboston.com.

Five Stars For Delp And Goudreau, Mar 16 2007
By Brien Comerford - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lost And Found/Delp And Goudre (Audio CD)
The Delp and Goudreau recording is probably the last CD to feature the dynamic vocals of the late and great Brad Delp. There are upbeat, mellow and poignant songs on the CD and Delp's vocals soar and lament while Goudreau proves to be a stellar guitarist. Brad Delp literally sang more songs for RTZ (featuring Goudreau) than he did for the much more famous band Boston. RTZ was not as consistently good as Boston but many of their exemplary tracks could fit into a Boston CD. Brad Delp had a great career as a singer and he was a longstanding vegetarian and humanitarian. His untimely death makes it imperative for fans to buy all the RTZ CDs. Delp was the voice of Boston and he was perfect for Tom Scholz's multi-instrumental virtuousity and impeccable sound engineering.
