Golden Melodies Of Tomorrow

by Bill Nelson

supported by

highpark1 A thread through my Adult Life . Sunburst on vinyl Chimera on cassette when nobody knew of online and still today the depth and layers in every work of art still so special to me
As for Golden Melodies and Mysterioso they are a masterclass in concinnity

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Bill Nelson re-released this album exactly today on "Bandcamp Friday", so it's clear that I would buy it immediately. It's interesting that the albums I like most usually are among his favorites, too. Never assume you know Bill Nelson after having listened to a couple of his releases. He's one of the most multi-faceted songwriters I've come to know in my life. Favorite track: Golden Melodies Of Tomorrow.

Ian Roegels This album is worth it for “God Glows Green In Small Town Park” alone! Great record. Favorite track: God Glows Green In Small Town Park.

about

First released on CD as a limited edition run of 1000 copies in November 2008, this album became a firm favourite with fans...

"Golden Melodies of Tomorrow is, I think, destined to become one of my own personal favourite albums. One that defines me, here and now, in a very direct and special way.
It's an album that ignores whatever the current mainstream is pursuing. It approaches the listener from a very different musical universe. I was aiming for beauty and transcendence and quiet power too, something futuristic but also ancient, ultra-modern but timeless.
In keeping with recent themes, I think of the album as a sort of clock mechanism, a hand-made, bejewelled movement that, (hopefully), once set in motion, fascinates and intrigues the listener with its interlocking parts and shining, myriad cogs and wheels...A golden, whirring, dream factory of song." - Bill Nelson

As always, the download comes with complete 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

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 9 fans who also own “Golden Melodies Of Tomorrow”

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
