Description
Esoteric Recordings’ imprint Cocteau Discs, dedicated to the work of BILL NELSON, are proud to announce the release of a deluxe 3 disc clamshell boxed set limited edition collection - “Dreamy Screens: Soundtracks from the Echo Observatory�. The set features three albums, all recorded at Bill Nelson’s Yorkshire home studio, the Echo Observatory, in 1981 and 1982 – “Sounding the Ritual Echo� (originally issued as a limited edition bonus LP with Bill’s 1981 album “Quit Dreaming and Get On the Beam�), “Das Kabinet� (a soundtrack to a production of “The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari� by The Yorkshire Actors Company issued as an LP on Bill’s Cocteau label in 1981) and “La Belle et La Bete� first issued as a limited edition bonus LP with Bill’s 1982 album “The Love That Whirls�). All of the recordings featured in this set demonstrate Bill’s creativity utilising primitive recording equipment by today’s standards. As Bill has stated; “The music was recorded on a domestic four track machine. A high degree of self-discipline was in order. All of the recordings forming “Dreamy Screens� have now become highly regarded in the prolific discography of Bill Nelson. Long out of print, this Cocteau Discs re-mastered limited edition presents these three wonderful albums once again, restoring the original artwork in the collection in a clamshell boxed set.
