Sound On Sound

Red Noise

Following the end of Be-Bop Deluxe, Bill Nelson created this project to trade art-rock scale for a jittery, sharp sound. It serves as a bridge between prog-rock and the post-punk movement.

Synthesizers clash with angular guitar riffs to mirror the anxieties of the late seventies. The production feels lean and urgent, reflecting a shift toward a clinical approach to rock.
