I've tried a lot of the stem music separator sites with varying results, but nothing that's really good at isolating the guitar parts of certain Be Bop Deluxe songs where I'm trying to figure out the solos, like the end solo of the studio version of "Fair Exchange." I can kind of make out the first couple of bars in my slow-down software. But even when I push the upper-end EQ, the guitar still sounds too buried.
I know it's a wish list Big Ask, but will Be Bop Deluxe isolated guitar tracks from the master tapes ever be available online? I know that someone's been posting Van Halen isolated guitar tracks a lot lately on YouTube. It'd be a big help for me, a guitar player who'd like to learn how to play the parts correctly.

A fascinating interview with Poet Laureate Simon Armitage who speaks about his appreciation for Bill Nelson’s music, especially early solo instrumental works like Sounding the Ritual Echo.
He doesn't seem to be aware of Dreamsville, tho'.

...or is this new Forum format unreliable in several ways?
It’ll take getting used to this Groups style but Jon saved the forum. I miss the layout of the previous one.

Never mind controversy and opinion. How do popular news platforms report undisputed facts? This is X (ie Twitter) reporting on last night's football match (which Liverpool won 1-0).

Back of Beyond and Alone in a Lunar Light - two of my favourite instrumentals from this otherworldly album. The equally spacey vocal numbers on the album have the same surreal hazy quality.
Beck's last album, Hyperspace, had a spacey aspect I loved, but more of a pop sound. I find myself wanting to send folks like Beck a copy of Bill's album, with a note saying: "This is how it's done somewhere in Yorkshire, by the master of the genre"!

I really like the way that Armitage is aware that meeting or chatting with Bill might not lead to a jolly sharing of creativity - because neither he nor Bill rely much on others for what they need to create their poetry or music. This is proper respect - artist to artist. What is created is the point, not the making of friends or the meeting of heroes.
...But if they had time and the will to do so, I still think they could have several hours of fascinating conversation! Goodness knows how they would be brought together most comfortably for both of them!
