Auto-buy. As BN fans we are particularly spoiled with plenty of incoming 'modern music'. But it sure is nice to have these classic BBD recordings available with bright shiny remixes in stereo and surround. The only thing more we could ask from Esoteric is new vinyl reissues of the whole catalog. Pretty please, with a cherry on top?

The two albums feel like one cohesive work. Some of Bill's strongest work yet. They've been my companions on long commutes for the past few weeks and reveal more with each listen.

You'll regret not owning Light. It's a stunner. I've no complaint with SoS, but Bill's is better hands with Burning Shed. Music media distribution is what they do. Also, there's a lot of great other artists to explore there. Bill's music is in good company and hopefully will give him more exposure to like-minded listeners.

Another stunner...and very much a compliment to 'Standby'. Worth any price of admission for just 'Strictly For The Birds' which towers amongst Bill's finest. With these most recent releases it's easy to hear Bill reaching for new expressions which straddle various aspects of his technique. I hope the transition in recording technology eventually propels him even further into exposing his imagination and musical desires. I'm not familiar with Cubase, but as recording musician I find that LogicPro has provided more capabilities in virtual instruments, effects and dynamics than I could use in a lifetime. I think we're about to experience another chapter in Bill's always evolving story.

My copy arrived last Saturday and it's been my work commute companion all week. Gotta say, this one knocked me over immediately and is up there will my favorite Bill albums. Ironically, I can't 'No Room In My Head' out of my head. What deliciously funky track. Now where's that Last Lamplighter companion album we've been promised? Fingers crossed it'll be soon.

Regarding the Esoteric reissues, whatever happened with Demonstrations Of Affection? Based on the wonderful sounding selections from the Practice of Everyday Life box, this collection would seem to benefit the most from remastering.
