Just received this email: "Hello Bandcamp Friends, Apologies for the 5 years absence. I'm out of the shadows and incredibly excited to share my new album, Informant, with you all. I've released a pre-order today, which includes two tracks, although I think a few of you may have already got your hands on the full album after I had much confusion on setting up the pre-orders! Either way, I hope you all enjoy what I've created. The album will officially be released next week, 06/06/25 For all of you that jumped to buying it with your lightening fast reflexes; I'm truly grateful, it means a lot to me that you guys support my music. Thank you and until next week!!! Elliot

This month's free CD is entitled "Forever Young - the best of 1974". Track nine is Darkness (L'Immoraliste) from Axe Victim. Good to see Bill's work getting publicity, even if it's 50 years old!

I recently disposed of my vinyl collection (downsizing can be stressful!), and am now working my way through Bill's back catalogue. I snapped up STRE as soon as it became available as a download, and now realise just how radical it was in 1981. Its lo-fi ambience is quite captivating - not exactly amateurish, but the sound of an artist determined to create something despite the technological restrictions. Great stuff.

Just had a note from Burning Shed that the ND reissue is back on sale. Missed this first time around, so a few clicks and it's on the way (along with Renaissance's Prologue - I'm in an early 70's mood today). So in the last few weeks I've gone from Dazzlebox back to the beginning!

I think some of us are regular visitors to this site (I read but don't post). There was an interesting thread recently entitled "Band(s) that time forgot". BBD were the first band mentioned, with further discussions about BN as the thread developed: https://theafterword.co.uk/the-bands-that-time-forgot/

Hi everyone, been meaning to do this for ages. Long time fan and board lurker, finally got around to joining, looking forward to contributing on an occasional basis. Right now I'm off across to the Music Store to buy some more downloads (and a CD of GTHGA - my vinyl is worn out).
