I’m looking to get a few albums from Bill’s Bandcamp page, but there’s so much I’m not sure where to start. I’ve asked elsewhere and the three that seem to be the most universally well-regarded are The Alchemical Adventures of Sailor Bill, The Romance of Sustain, and Fancy Planets. Should I start there, or are there more essential albums to get first (again, specifically from the Bandcamp page)?
For context, I have all the Be Bop Deluxe albums plus Northern Dream, Sound On Sound, Quit Dreaming and Get On The Beam, The Love That Whirls, La Belle Et La Bête, Chimera, Vistamix, The Two-Fold Aspect of Everything, On A Blue Wing, and Chance Encounters In The Garden of Lights. I’m interested in hearing albums that show off other sides of Bill’s music, but I’m
not opposed to albums that fans of the above would enjoy either.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
Thanks for the recommendations, everyone! So far I've purchased The Romance Of Sustain, The Alchemical Adventures Of Sailor Bill, Fancy Planets, and Transcorder: The Acquitted By Mirrors Recordings from the Bandcamp page and am enjoying all of them. Planning on getting a couple more this weekend once the paycheck hits my bank account.
(I also bought a download of Noise Candy on iTunes, which I know Bill is not a fan of—but in my defense, I had a $50 gift card and I needed to spend it on something!).
