Wakefield

Bill Nelson,”After The Satellite Sings” (Esoteric CDCD 1010)­ Wakefield’s finest musical export isprobably best remembered for his work with outfits such as BeBop Deluxe and Red Noise during the middle and late seventies, but this increasingly reclusive character has maintained a remarkably prolific creative output since those days despite being largely shunned by the major record labels for the past three decades or so. Esoteric Records have now embarked on a major Nelson re­issue programme spanning these “lost years “ and this 1996 album emerges as a particularly fine piece of work, with a sublime blend of the spontaneous and the surreal underpinning excellent tracks such as “Streamliner,” “Dreamster 2.L.R.” and “Rocket To Damascus.”
