Cherry Red Records Luminous

ESOTERIC RECORDINGS imprint Cocteau Discs, the
home of BILL NELSON’s catalogue between 1971 and 2001, continues their
series of ongoing
releases with the release of a re-mastered edition of the album, “Luminous” from 1990.
The album has been unavailable for over 20 years and was described by
BILL NELSON as “A fragment from my home studio sketchbook. A collection
of previously
unreleased songs which have been preserved in their original raw state.
The rule was to use only first takes and to move from the initial idea
to final mix
in as short a time as possible. Although the recordings were made with
the use of limited technology, I hope that the result captures something
of the charm
and innocence of spontaneous improvised songwriting…”
Press:-
“Post-Bop Bill delivers the dreamy synthpop
goodies. He was the sparkling axe victimiser in Be Bop Deluxe, the uniformed
new waver in Bill Nelson’s Red Noise, and a solo artist and producer who very
nearly fit the 80s perfectly with his dreamy synthpop.”
