Arrived this morning. Instrumental Bill Nelson = aural bliss. Sounds wonderful Thanks once again Bill

Mine has just arrived. Thanks for the initial impression, sounds like something to cherish over this Yuletide and for many years to come. Outstanding packaging (sadly no signed postcard, I missed out by a couple of hours!) Now onto the music. Sweet joy. Thanks Bill and Happy Xmas

Dropped through the letter box this morning. A happy day indeed.

Ahhhhh the one with "Drift Fictions" Yummy

Ordered (missed the signed postcard, must have gone like greased lightening) As ever looking forward to listening to the latest Bill music :)

@Alec I kind of guessed it would be something along those lines😄 Those pesky mind guerrillas (Mind Games!) have me on the run to. Sometimes the volume of music to be found is overwhelming but sometimes it's just good to go with the flow and drift on downstream to another strange destination. Stay mellow my friend

Cool video Alec. btw what is the "algorithm"? Here is some crazy 70's vintage footage that surfaced a few months back. Peter Hammill - Live in the studio 1974 - Swiss TV

Must find a copy of this. Master drummer and the light touch of Duke sounds intriguing. Thanks for the prompt.

White vinyl copy arrived from Burning Shed this morning :) VdGG mega box next month, life is good!

Just read the final few posts and a 5 CD set it is then. Great decision!!

Apologies if I have missed a communication on this but is this (5? CD set) a mix of vocal and instrumental pieces? btw a 5 cd box would be my preference for what it's worth as long as the economics of the project does not become an issue for you. Whatever you finally decide will be the right decision.

Not been around the "new" format forum much recently (other musical interests have pushed themselves to the fore) I am (I think) still up to date with the releases :) A long overdue return this morning and read this thread, BANG, this is excellent news. The Bill albums I go back to for repeated and long listening pleasure tend to be the large multi disc sets. A four disc set sounds the way to go. Sign me up - as always. btw is there a plan for the many albums "in the can" to be released? Maybe a Noise Candy type mega box. kinds regards to all.

@tlc Absolutely. Should have been President :)) Another Gerber gem with artwork by Mike Ploog (I think)

Glad to see this thread is still alive and well :) Gives me the chance to post yet another Howard pic.

Like the proverbial bad penny. Glad to see some of the old regulars still alive and kicking (I assume)

And also this......

Been a long while since I last signed in and posted a message. New album arrived this morning. Listening now and it's a glorious mix of guitar and strangeness. Highly recommended. How does he maintain this outstanding quality level album after album? impressed (as always) Thanks for the musical buzz Bill

What would Howard (and indeed Gerber) make of the current political nightmare both sides of the pond.
