94 tracks spread across 6 discs, presented a fabulous book-set.
Including an exclusive Bill Nelson plectrum and a postcard (early orders will get their postcard signed).
Plus, two lucky winners will be drawn from the pre-order customers and will each receive one of Bill's original line drawings used within the book-set's artwork.
Head to Burning Shed to place your order...
Lots of samples on the Dreamsville discography page to whet your appetite too...just click on the album cover!
sound on sound, the best always comes, to the fore!!! super fanx.
You may be pleased to know that I signed more postcards than was originally intended, so 50 people who thought they'd missed out on the signed cards will get one with their package.
But every copy of the album will contain a postcard whether signed or not. Also everyone will get a guitar pick engraved with my signature on one side and the Atom symbol that graces my signature guitars on the other side.
And don't forget, two lucky people whose names will be pulled out of the digital hat will win the two original drawings that I created for the ear book. These have been framed and are now with Burning Shed. Plus, of course, you will all get 94 brand new super tracks to listen to and a beautiful earbook to absorb and enjoy.
Oh, and definitely kick that eBay scammer into touch. There will be more than enough copies available through Burning Shed. Absolutely no reason at all to fall for such an obvious trick. Why pay £120 for something you can easily buy for far less from the official source?
I guarantee no one will miss out and all orders will be fulfilled.😉
😲 Whooooohhhooooo!!! a 6-CD box set – that's the way to do it Bill 😉 Ordered on the day of announcement, quite a while back now, and just about managed to nab a signed postcard version 😎 Really looking forward to hearing the huge amount of variety contained within 😀
excellent! you will make them swoon, me thinks, she takes a bow to the artist musician
bill's first rock mag interview in where ever, what so ever, ever ever, clevor tevor, who so ever, really this it that one, well done bill, fanx to the rock mag, have a great day and knock 'em dead bill, enjoy.
Had an interesting email request today: Prog Rock Magazine want a copy of 'My Private Cosmos' to review in their magazine. It will take some time for the journalist to absorb all 94 tracks though...so the review might not appear for quite a while...But nice that someone is aware of what's in the pipeline!
So Bill covers Bill with Jets at Dawn?
I hope Bill likes my review "take" in six stanzas poetically weaving the 96 song track s! whew! i hope to afford it soon. Here it is:
Are you listening to my private cosmos, I dream, of giant telescopes when lightning strikes the steeple. "Hang this moment on a sigh," they tell you this. They tell you that "driving through England light rain - set your dials for dreaming!" Kingdom of the sky, the Kirkella Bells are living on the moon tonight. The dusk before the dark, glittering figures a gnostic lullaby, and paint days of wonder... picture perfect the painter/music artist!
Thunder. Perfect mind with all the will in the world, the crystal gazing room allows no sleep for the alchemist nor the astronomer of the heart on an ocean of dreams. This land is haunted, Friday always in the future like mists of time in the chapel of her sparkles where the trees are full of whistling birds dreaming of another world. Time's tide - the dreams that escape me - your secret sign under fading star forever ago.
I watch the world through my window another rainy day; when the wind blows all away, time stops right here. I was speaking with Orson Welles when the techno punk gets rhythm, merry and bright where old brown town lanterns are lighting the night - the universe is fast asleep. seven keys to this city travels Osram Diadem, Fantistico and The Paradox Machine in the 21st century.
Silver sparks and coloured stars, helios in memory land gazing through golden windows. The navigator, an acre of sunshine, the light in the mirror the bone beneath the skin and ghosts dance in ghostland. The memory museum, room one orates silver stars will shine when ghost trains travel on phantom tracks I recall the jets at dawn. There's a star somewhere, the spectral waltz of venus, my private cosmos, part two - curiosity's domain!
A dip in the spark jar... this clockwork world, when we were beautiful hi-tone Saturday in a mechanical city, one dreamlike world coasting some days orange, some days blue in the land of nothing doing but magic and mystery; the super sensualist white falcon II flies far side of nowhere; the TV's on the blink and all the world was ours!
Moonlight rider of ancient angels watching me the long lost summer at the Roy Rogers' Radio Ranch - Space Cowboys, White Falcon One, Wonder Kid and Puzzlepop fathom in my catalogue of dreams, "The Infernal Machine," until tomorrow. Comic cuts the listening station, "there are stars beyond the night!" Celluloid ghosts say "hey ho, there you go," my mortal coils.
Just ordered! Christmas gift to me. Thanks for the new music Bill. As always, really looking forward to it!
Just curious Bill, what guitars did you use on My Private Cosmos.
I understand this could be relatively easy to answer, or prove a bit more of a headscratcher, considering the depth and breadth of this mammoth project..😉
I'm down to four guitars (from 15), which makes the default choices simpler..😂
However I do have a new one on order..😁
you can still pre-order, it needs to be you, that purchases the boxset in the end ok!!!!
Is this a limited in numbers release. I'm skint at the moment so can't order it just yet! I hope it isn't and I can get it soon!
Good choice! From the samples I've listened to, these are the current superlative realizations of years of research, discovery and development by Bill - unmatched, as far as I'm aware of. John Spence's mastering is, as always, top notch!
Update: I listened to samples again...liked some , more, and some less... thought about how much we spend on ....freaking cat food a month...thought about our $6,000 (vet bill) cat, how much we spend on supplements, but really, it's not about money. Shit, I've been so crammed with work (pays well) for the last 3 years...but mostly I thought about whether or not I wanted to keep going through the existing Bill collection for the rest of my life, or whether I wanted a bright and shiny new box of goodies to explore for the possibly short , but probably long years I have left. I think you all know how the answer sorted itself out. Besides, I haven't been spending hardly at all on music for years, so wtf am I waffling about $111 U.S. for ? Ordered.
I know it will be much like Noise Candy - not the music, but the experience- a lot of listening, then the culling , and then the long term integration. It sleeps in my system like a dreamy disease; luminous, intelligent, and sexy 😉
OMG! Yes, Yes, Yes. This is truly going to be an Ultra Classic! Thanks Bill!
Excellent news on the wire this past day!
Now to clear the deck of unfinished and neglected reading, music and video…Restock the wine rack, visit the dispensary, lay in a supply of firewood and free up some extended time off this winter to digest this major musical contribution. It doesn‘t get much better than this…as a smooth crooner sang back in the day, It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!
well did, or done, not steak, but honest home cookin', at last!!!! ps ne'er mind the pistols at e-bay
Sorted.
.
i meant to say gluttonous, over the root!!!!
how to get on the beam, sure is funny how, some people do not see the light!!!!! ps. can't wait, but have to you know heh, heh, happy as the proverbial pig, not over-fed, yeah.
Not a problem...Bill Connor-Clark brought this to attention on the opening page and I just thought it worth mentioning also...Like I say, there are plenty of unscrupulous/unethical people out there, who will do almost anything to make a quick buck....All I can say to whoever is reading this thread is, just buy from Burning Shed, all keep it all legit....I will have missed out on the signed card version, but that's no big deal, would be nice ofc, but getting this amazing set is all that matters...Don't put money into the pockets of profiteers.
Anyway, this is a happy, upbeat thread, announcing/celebrating a great new release from Bill...So I hope it will remain so and not get off track/hijacked by the shady dealings of others...Let's not give them the time of day.
Sometimes you wish you hadn't said anything about something at all, causing things to go off course a little, but it did seem worth mentioning.
ok, i suppose i'm wrong, cheers. no worries.
my private cosmos is not due to out yet december 10th, so you can still pre-order, i don't know who is selling my private cosmos but they cannot have the cd box-set yet it is nigh-on impossible for anyone on ebay to obtain it at all, so they must have an invisible copy of it, or na da!!!! they have two chances? a dog's chance and no effin' chance?
We're currently travelling at the moment and due to a technical hitch/problem, will be unable to order until next Thursday or Friday, when get back to base.
Question please, is there a limited number maximum on the pre-orders?..e.g. 500, or 1000?...or are they going to be manufactured as per number of orders put in? (plus extras, I presume, to put in the Store)..I would hate to miss out on this, it would be a bit devastating, as it really does sound superb.
I hope I'm not running the risk of missing out..😐
BTW, not to give this guy any 'airtime', but the person already advertising two copies of My Private Cosmos for sale, with the signed cards, on ebay at £120 each, should be ashamed of themselves.. Profiteer.
the samples are indeed mightily impressive...
version 2 has a postcard, just not signed?
Thanx Steve as per usual I always get into a bit of a twitch when ordering Bills stuff
Managed to order the unsigned box set which I am made up about and cant wait to give them a spin
No way ive just tried to order this and it is out of stock. I thought Burning Shed pressed copies to order like previous cd releases?????????????
I just saw the notice, and ordered immediately. Really looking forward to this one. Now, I'm off to listen to the samples.😎
Ordered as soon as I saw the notice! Still too late for the signed postcard, but the important thing was getting the box ordered, plus one for a friend. While we wait for the final product, I guess I'll just have to continue immersing myself in the new Faust box set.
play on, play on, superb, love the music, so much bill.
This is why I missed out on the signed postcard.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154662758410?hash=item24029e680a:g:05MAAOSwEa1hcbHd
Ordered (missed the signed postcard, must have gone like greased lightening)
As ever looking forward to listening to the latest Bill music :)
I just ordered it. Alas, not the postcard version. The price is very reasonable. (Tip to non-UK buyers: Don't let Paypal do the currency conversion. Very unfavorable rates! Of course, you already know this 😉)
Listening to the samples, this sounds like it will be pretty amazing.
Ordered as soon as I got the email from Burning Shed. I was already psyched for this even before hearing the samples, but omg...this is going to be special! Arrival date will be a vacation day so I can depart my world and enter Bill's latest musical universe. I can't wait.
Just checked my email's and was excited to see the set is available to pre-order.
When I went to order the signed version is out of stock.
Does anyone know if more signed versions will be available?
I'll still be buying a copy regardless but would like a signed postcard as a bonus.
Comic Cuts is my fav already within the sample tunes. And I thought Noise Candy was indepth. Bill wasn't kidding when he said it will take us some time to digest it all 🙂🙂🙂. Just incredible 👍👍👍.
Those sample tunes sound superb! I already have the headphones on. The mix is fabulous 👍👍👍
Yahooooo ,, order is in 😄
can i hope for a pre-order outside UK ? when adding shipping there will be tax and custom fees ca 25pound extra :-)
Ordered!!
Wow, mind-blown, with the samples.
Is this going to be Bill's best yet?!...Judging on what I'm hearing, I mean, come on..it could be!!
Seriously, I just want to free-fall into it.
I know I've not experienced the full ride, but even for Bill Nelson's musical maestro status, it's like this music has somehow transcended to a higher plane..for me, at least..if that's even possible...I love it.
Amazing..jaw on the floor.
Done!
Ordered, looking forward to this one, a deep dive into Bills music & who knows a live event next year! ? 🙂
ordered..i only bought it for the postcard !!! LOL
Wonderful - my order is in!
My Private Christmas is now covered, +plus+ a signed postcard and guitar pick! which will be a great gift for my Nelsonic Transitone.
Excellent news! Ordered. That’s my Xmas present to myself sorted out! 😁
At last it's out! (Or should that be "dropped" these days?) Mine's ordered √
