I've been driving a lot recently and have picked out a batch of "best of" albums to listen to (yes, I still have a CD in the car). ELO, Roxy, Squeeze, Prince, Larry Carlton etc. etc. I also took a few of Bill's CDs that I haven't listen to for a while and when I put Illuminated at Dusk on, it just confirmed to me why I love Bill's work. The playing and recording are pure quality. As much as I enjoy listening to the other work, this, in my opinion, was way above anything else.

Why not try creating a modern version of the old 'mixtape' you might have played in your car in the 80s! I combine tracks of many different genres often randomly on to a playlist on my computer and stream the music around the flat. If it works; i.e. sounds good and blends together, I will copy it to an SD card and play it in the car. There is usually something by Bill, but he might be next to A Winged Victory For the Sullen, Stars of the Lid, Mogwai, Tim Hecker, Low or Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood. They often work and sound great!
