Avoiding The Swan Song
Excellent band Soot, I have "Axe Victim" and it's a great album. Bill Nelson is an exceptional musician.
Bill Nelson moved with the times.....after Be Bop Deluxe.....came the quirky new wave RED NOISE that fitted in with bands like XTC and WIRE at the time
My personal favourite Bill Nelson musical era was his solo stuff from 82 "the love that whirls" and "chimera" albums. Bill was using synths and drum machines, often with an oriental musical touch to it. Absolutely brilliant!!
It was strange that Bill never went back to his Be Bop Deluxe "rock" roots .As "ANGRY-MAN" says he went very arty
I saw a solo gig by him in the 80s.....there was no vocals just Bill by himself with a" real to real" as backing and him playing sustained guitar [e-bow].....it was good.....but....[frustrating]
There always has been a massive demand for a BE BOP DELUXE reunion,but sadly I cant see it happening
