Esoteric Recordings’ imprint Cocteau Discs, dedicated to the work of BILL NELSON, are proud to announce the release of a deluxe 3 disc clamshell boxed set limited edition collection titled \u201cDreamy Screens: Soundtracks from the Echo Observatory.\u201d The set features three albums, all recorded at Bill Nelson’s Yorkshire home studio, the Echo Observatory, in 1981 and 1982 – \u201cSounding the Ritual Echo\u201d (originally issued as a limited edition bonus LP with Bill’s 1981 album \u201cQuit Dreaming and Get On the Beam\u201d), \u201cDas Kabinet\u201d (a soundtrack to a production of \u201cThe Cabinet of Doctor Caligari\u201d by The Yorkshire Actors Company issued as an LP on Bill’s Cocteau label in 1981) and \u201cLa Belle et La Bete\u201d (a soundtrack to a stage production of Jean Cocteau’s classic 1946 film \u201cBeauty & the Beast,\u201d first issued as a limited edition bonus LP with Bill’s 1982 album \u201cThe Love That Whirls\u201d).<\/p>\n

All of the recordings featured in this set demonstrate Bill’s creativity utilising primitive recording equipment by today’s standards. As Bill has stated, \u201cThe music was recorded on a domestic four track machine. A high degree of self-discipline was in order.\u201d <\/p>\n

All of the recordings forming \u201cDreamy Screens\u201d have now become highly regarded in the prolific discography of Bill Nelson.<\/p>\n
