5.0 out of 5 stars Electrically Speaking: Bill's finest, September 14, 2001

By	Michael Thomas Roe (Atlanta) - See all my reviews

I don't think Bill Nelson would agree, but this might possibly be his finest work to date. It's a 4 CD collection of songs, completely with vocals, done in true Bill fashion, meaning fast and furious. What's significant is that the bulk of this material was recorded during a period of emotional duress, making for some pretty heavy listening. "Electricity Made Us Angels" bears the brunt of most of this emotional fall out. Tunes like "Wonders Never Cease", "God Thundered Boy" and "She Sends Me", are filled with what could be termed beautiful despair, Bill's voice literally cracking at points. All is not gloom, however, in the world of Bill. "Juke Box For Jet Boy" is a fun synthetic romp thru the playground of Bill's yesteryears, predating Bill's later fascination with his childhood and its arcana. Simply put, there are a lot of great tunes here and I dare say that the listener, in time, will be able to absorb the entire collection with great pleasure and ease. Bill-the-guitar-player fans will certainly find lots of tasty guitar playing through out. "Begin to Burn" (a personal favourite) and "Year 44 (The Birthday Song)", among others, contain some blazing guitar work. So get your heart on one sleeve and your air guitar on the other, this could be, as mentioned, Bill's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music from a great musician., June 20, 2001

Anyone familiar with Bill's work will enjoy this album, anyone who enjoy's the music of Brian Eno et al won't fail to enjoy this piece of work.

Give it a listen, it'll be well worth it.
