We're through the looking glass now, attempting controlled NDE and/or OOBE experience. I've removed myself from my body a couple of times in dreams recently, flown around and stuff. Dreams not as energized and intense and mind blowing as many that I've had over the years , but very significant because of the conscious (in dreamland) effort and act of separation. One of the most interesting aspects was that both times when I woke up, I was confused, because I didn't understand that I had gone to sleep. Normally when you wake up from a dream, you come back to this reality and it makes sense that yeah, you were dreaming and now you're awake. This was different. Waking up in ths reality didn't make sense because I thought I was awake. The point (not the ultimate point and purpose of OOB exploration, which is, of course, unlimited) of the original effort is to transition from body awake, mind awake state to body "asleep", mind awake state, not lucid dreaming, but conscious disconnection from the physical. Of course, the internet and youtube are jam packed with a mishmash of all types of material along these lines, but I feel like we (Mrs. S. and I) have honed in on some of "the real deal". Bob Monroe was a very interesting guy. Darius J. Wright for a walk on the wild side. Tom Campbell for a more scientific approach. Well, back to the rabbit holes 😀

For those that missed the announcement in the recent newsletter... Orchestra Futura - Live Album Update Following years of planning and preparation, a CD of Bill Nelson’s Orchestra Futura is nearing fruition. Many people have commented about how much they enjoyed Orchestra Futura's sets at Nelsonicas and how they would like to have an album released by the trio, comprising of Bill with Theo Travis on saxophone and flute (Soft Machine/Robert Fripp/ David Sylvian) and Dave Sturt on bass (Gong/Jade Warrior). Theo and Dave also appeared with Bill as members of the Gentlemen Rocketeers and on the Live at Metropolis DVD.   An album's worth of Orchestra Futura performances recorded at various live shows has now been mixed and Bill is overseeing the entire project. Mastering is happening this week at one of London’s top mastering studios and the artwork is currently being designed using the working title of 'Live At Nelsonica'. The album will be released independently on Theo's Ethersounds label. There will be a crowdfunding campaign with various options to raise funds to complete the project prior to its release - more details about that will be announced shortly. Watch this space! There are also rumblings that there could be a very limited number of vinyl copies pressed...however, this would be dependant upon demand as vinyl is expensive to produce. To better judge interest in a vinyl edition, it would be appreciated if you could send an email registering your desire to own a (vinyl) copy. The vinyl edition would cost approximately £25 plus postage. And to sweeten the pot even more...we’d like to know if you’d be willing to pre-order an autographed copy; only 50 would be made available, and would sell for approximately £45 plus postage. If either of these options sound appealing to you, please send a quick email to info@billnelson.com so that we can gauge interest. (Note: the original email link was causing issues for some people, so I have provided an alternative one). If you have already been in touch and I have replied, or commented on the forum and I have replied that you're on the list, there's no need to do so again - we shall be in touch should there be enough interest to go ahead with the vinyl release.

I will always remember hearing 'Crime Of The Century', for the very first time, way back in 1974, at my friends house, who lived just a couple of houses down the road We were both 14. It was his brothers album. He walked through the front door, about half way through the second side, and , let's just say, he was not best pleased we had put his record on. I bought the album myself, shortly after, and still have the original LP....remains a favourite.
