Surrealism. 1924... bringing together some of the themes so far. A debt of gratitude to Jean Cocteau, Rene Magritte and 'Dr. Theo Gildenlow' (who used 'The Portal' to 'Time Travel' from Albertropolis) for all lending a hand in the recording!!!

Third Floor Heaven with Brooksie Third Floor Heaven with Brooksie
This is another collaboration with Peter Brookes (Brooksie) adding fabulous vocals to a very early Be Bop Deluxe song. Peter sounds uncannily like a young Bill Nelson. Brilliantly done Peter.
Imperial Rocket Parade (for Space Commander Bill) Imperial Rocket Parade (for Space Commander Bill)
This is my own version of ...'Imperial Parade'... a fabulous instrumental from Bill Nelson's recent CD, 'Plectrajet'. The sound samples at the beginning are from a very early UK science-fiction TV puppet series called, 'Space Patrol'. in 1962/3
Blue As A Jewel (with Brooksie) Blue As A Jewel (with Brooksie)
A cover of a fabulous ballad by Be Bop Deluxe. This is probably the first song on which Bill Nelson used e-bow. This has always been a favourite of mine. Peter Brookes (aka. Brooksie) sings this so well.
Still The One (Rock Option) Still The One (Rock Option)
A Rock version of the fabulous hit song by Shania Twain. Great songs such as this, can be 'covered' in different styles and still work. Well I hope you think so too.
