👍👍👍

...honestly, if you look at the 2CD Deluxe edition from 2010, the absolute standout is The Ballad of 32 (Mix 2). It’s nearly 11 minutes long. That's where the magic happens. You can really hear the instrumentation take flight and go full Pink Floyd on you. It's spectacular.

Engineer, Mastered by, Artwork by [ cover Concept ], Music by, Lyrics by, performer [ All Instruments and Voices ] – Bill Nelson

"Recorded between spring and Winter 1981 AT Ric-Rac Studios (Leeds), and Rockfield Studios (Monmouth). The material on this album constitutes approximately half of The total recordings made AT various intervals between april and November 1981. The remainder will hopefully appear in various forms throughout The Coming Months."

This is a complete one-man studio project. Music / Lyrics... I played practically every single instrument you hear on this record.
If you can argue that certain albums in the pop-rock world possess a specific kind of "sound design," then this is definitely one of those records.

NelsonChance Encounters in The Garden of Lights is actually quite compelling.

I already know exactly who’s going to win the vote the second I saw Pukey’s pick😁

I noticed there hasn't been any mention of them here at all—which is ridiculous because they're such a significant indie band—so I’m trying to fix that injustice by putting forward their most iconic album
Honestly, I think the other albums will eventually find their way into the conversation too since they have some seriously beautiful stuff out there, and this week's lineup is already looking pretty stacked
