Bill Nelson - Practically Wired (1995)

Bill Nelson - Practically Wired 

  Since his Be Bop Deluxe days, Bill Nelson has been a very prolific musician!   In 1995 he released this instrumental gem totally devoted to showcase his guitar skills.  Of course in typical Bill Nelson styling there are plenty of interesting and edgy bits, lush atmospheres and drabs of rock and funky art rock pieces all intertwined.  

 One thing about Bill Nelson albums is that they are never static or boring and seems endlessly creative.

  There are some superb songs on this album and some amazing guitar, dub and electronic moments.....even a sonic nightmare or two along the way

 Although there is not any singing on this album there is plenty of vocal dubs and talking bits tossed in giving the impression that this album is made up of a series of short vingettes and story boards.

  Everything is left up to your imagination,.......
