So, started with Beauty & Beast, then Altar Pieces, then Crimsworth, then Chimera, then These Stars Are Fire, then Dynamos And Tremolos, then Plus Ultra & now spinning the wonderful Plaything, so, as a bit of a new fan (but always having had bbd in my head all these years - now am 55), would be interested to hear other fans thoughts etc.

If you liked Beauty & the Beast and Altar Pieces, you'd probably enjoy the "Trial By Intimacy" box set, and also the 2 CD set "Chance Encounters In The Garden of Lights".

OK - thanks for the advice - have now bought most of those!
Well it's all subjective at the end of the day, but I would certainly recommend Bill's recent releases, which have proved to be some of my all time favourites and get played regularly..'Stand By : Light Coming' and 'The Last Lamplighter' are great examples..wonderful music and recordings.
Others I would recommend, some stretching back a few years, are: 'That Old Mysterioso', 'Stereo Star Maps', 'Perfect Monsters', 'Golden Melodies Of Tomorrow', 'Rosewood Vol 1', 'The Years', 'Gleaming Without Lights', 'Return To Jazz Of Lights', 'Theatre Of Falling Leaves', and (probably) my all time favourite Bill Nelson release 'The Alchemical Adventures Of Sailor Bill'
This round dozen albums, would be a great foundation on which to build your Bill Nelson collection....
..imho.
P.S. lots of other great ones as well😉
And Special metal ;-)
Hi, Steve. Quite an eclectic mix. 👀 As a BBD fan you should next avail yourself to ‘Fancy Planets’, ‘Joy Through Amplification’ and ‘Kid Flip & The Golden Spacemen’ ❕❕😊
