Captain Future's Psychotronic Circus

by Bill Nelson

supported by

Nick Bradey Excellent set - Bill at his best ( as always.)
I cannot recommend this too highly. Favorite track: The Man Who Was Tomorrow.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) A fun album, and a thorough glimpse into the archive of a musical genius, who cannot be nailed to a single genre.

Tony One of the many albums by Bill that have made up the soundtrack of my life since Sunburst Finish and the big bang.

about

'Captain Future's Psychotronic Circus' is an album comprising a mixture of vocal and instrumental pieces. Originally released on CD in 2010 as a limited edition run, this album was recorded especially for Nelsonica '10.

"This one was created specifically for Nelsonica, rather than just being a collection of 'leftovers'. It's loosely themed around the Psychotronic Circus mood, but not in its entirety. Nevertheless, the tracks were chosen for the way they worked together, as a whole, so perhaps there is a kind of completeness to the album." - Bill Nelson

The download comes complete with PDF artwork.

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
