about

"I chose the title of this album simply because it is, when all's said and done, an eclectic mix of tracks without adherence to any one particular genre. In that sense it certainly is a ‘mixed up’ album!

On another level, the title harks back to my 1950’s childhood when the term ‘mixed up kid’ was often applied to any child who didn’t quite fit the behaviour patterns expected of children back then. I’ve never thought of myself as a ‘mixed up kid’, (though others may have done), but my tastes in music are wide and eclectic and I suppose, in that respect, they could be categorised as somewhat mixed up.

I’ve always enjoyed fusing different genres together and I try not to lock music into tightly defined categories. Most of my work has taken that approach and this album is no different. These days, in music at least, there’s no need to show your passport at the frontier. So, sit back and listen and enjoy the kaleidoscopic ‘Mixed Up Kid’!" - Bill Nelson 2021

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
