After the Satellite sings
Released 30 years ago today...
A real tour-de-force, a poetic powerhouse of an album, with some of my favourite BN compositions, lyrics and guitar-work.
I was fortunate enough to attend one of Bill's ATSS promotional appearances - at Virgin Megastore in Nottingham - the first time I had seen him play since the Sunburst Finish (?) tour.
"I'm deeply dazzled" - still, after all these years....
Thanks for all the music Bill, past, present .... and future.

Due to various life changes, after the release of Vistamix in 1984, I completely lost track of Bill's music, as well as much of the music scene in general. I had kept up with Bill/Be Bop until then. So, I was thrilled, when in 1996, I found a copy of After The Satellite Sings. Soon after, I found Practically Wired and Blues Moons And Laughing Guitars. Then, in 1998 with the release of Atom Shop, I found out about the website Permanent Flame, today Dreamsville. I would also visit the UK website, which I cannot remember the name of at this moment. Anyway, I found out about all the Bill Nelson music I had missed out on for over twelve years, and started playing catch-up. Due to Bill's prolific output, I was also playing keep-up, and I've done pretty well at it.
It's hard to believe it's been thirty years ago. Still loving After The Satellite Sings, as well as his other music, after all these years.😎
