Bill Nelson - Getting The Holy Ghost Across
Ripped from a vinyl album released on Portrait Records (PRT 26602) in 1986 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. Time to revisit one of my favourite solo artists and one of the world's greatest living Yorkshire men. Bill is also one of the worlds most prolific recording artists and still records and performs (rarely) these days. His career encompasses nearly all possible genres from prog rock to punk and new wave, from art rock to pub rock, from synthpop to ambient experiments and atmospheric soundtracks, there is something for everybody. For me, though I do also have a few earlier Be Bop Deluxe albums and the Red Noise LP, it's the run of early-mid eighties synthpop albums. Contemplation just a great song to grow old to! Mick Karn doesn't feature on the sleeve credits so I assume not the record, but the influence from his work with Bill on Chimera is readily apparent.
