ALBUM NOTES:
 

Studio Cadet is an album of guitar instrumentals issued on the Sonoluxe label in a limited edition of 1000 copies and simultaneous digital download.

​

The album was first mentioned by Nelson as 'half finished' in a Dreamsville forum post dated 20 May 2015 and was later confirmed as complete with confirmed track listing on 1 June 2015.

​

On 14 July 2015, a week after completing work on his very next album of new material, Magnetic Travels, Nelson announced plans to release both albums as a double CD initially to be entitled The Grand Imaginarium (Intergalactic Rhapsodies for Electric Guitar), although the word 'Intergalactic' was dropped later the same day.

A few months down the line however Nelson had reverted back to his initial plan of releasing Studio Cadet and Magnetic Travels as two standalone albums and this plan remained despite Nelson's continued uncertainty of the format.

​

The album was mastered at Fairview Studios by John Spence in February 2024, with artwork compiled by Martin Bostock using images selected by Nelson as the album approached release.

​

Pre-orders for Studio Cadet were announced by Burning Shed on November 1st with a release date scheduled for December 6th.

CURRENT AVAILABILITY:

Available to pre-order here in the Dreamsville Store.

BILL'S THOUGHTS:

​

"Studio Cadet is one of several previously unreleased albums tucked away in my archives. Recorded in 2015 it contains 14 guitar-based instrumental tracks. The atmosphere is relaxed and sometimes dreamy. The album comes in a triple-fold digi-sleeve with a four page booklet insert. A gleaming guitar melodic soundscape."
