Review by Tiago Malta

Drive This Comet Across The Sky: Bill Nelson’s Wild Ride Through Rock’s Cosmic Playground Alright, buckle up, because Bill Nelson’s Drive This Comet Across The Sky isn’t your run-of-the-mill rock album. Released in 2018 under Tremolo Boy Records (UK), this sucker is a chaotic love letter to spacey guitars, existential musings, and good ol’ fashioned British eccentricity. And yeah, it’s got some killer tunes that’ll stick to your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk. Let’s dive straight into the chaos. First off, there’s “Where Are The Stars That Fall From Heaven.” Holy crap, does this track hit hard. It opens with these swirling synths that feel like you’re floating through an asteroid belt, then BAM—Nelson drops in with his signature guitar work, all jagged edges and raw emotion. The lyrics? Man, they’re heavy as hell, asking questions about life, loss, and where the hell we’re all headed. You don’t just listen to this one; you feel it. Like, I swear every time I hear those opening chords, my pulse spikes. It’s not perfect—it’s messy, kinda loose—but that’s what makes it so damn unforgettable. Then there’s “Time Is Running Away (The Blue Nowhere).” Jesus Christ, talk about a mood setter. This song feels like being trapped inside a lucid dream while someone whispers secrets in your ear. The rhythm section grooves harder than most bands dare to, and Nelson’s vocals are dripping with urgency. There’s something haunting about how he repeats “time is running away,” like he knows something we don’t. Spoiler alert: He probably does. By the end of the track, you’re left staring at the ceiling wondering if you’ve wasted your entire life. No big deal. The rest of the album ain’t exactly filler either. Tracks like “Fables Of The Future” and “Lost In Space” keep the energy high, blending retro vibes with futuristic sounds. Meanwhile, “Hello You Beautiful People” throws you a curveball—a weirdly uplifting anthem buried deep in the tracklist. Weird flex, but I dig it. Shoutout to Martin Bostock for the artwork too. That cover art? Perfectly matches the vibe: cosmic, trippy, and slightly unhinged. Props where props are due. Here’s the thing though—this album doesn’t try to be cool or polished. It’s rough around the edges, unpredictable, and sometimes downright strange. But honestly? That’s why it works. In a world full of cookie-cutter rock albums, Drive This Comet Across The Sky feels like a punch in the face—and I mean that in the best way possible. So here’s my final thought: If aliens ever invade Earth and demand proof of human creativity, slap this album on repeat and let ‘em decide for themselves. Either they’ll leave us alone outta respect, or they’ll abduct Bill Nelson and force him to write intergalactic hits. Either way, win-win.

Notes

  • Drive This Comet Across the Sky is an album of vocal tracks issued as a download-only album on Tremelo Boy Records, available through Nelson’s Bandcamp page.
  • Drive This Comet Across the Sky was created between November 2017 and February 2018. Work on the album was affected to a degree by Nelson’s ongoing difficulties with his mixing desk, which left him unable to complete any recording for around a fortnight in December 2017. Work on the album gathered pace though in January 2018, with a proposed track listing announced on 19 February 2018. This list revealed that a total of 16 tracks had been completed for the album - 12 with vocals and 4 instrumentals.
  • During January Nelson produced a video for the album’s title track, which was uploaded onto the Essoldo Cinema section of his website on 30 January 2018.
  • At the mastering session (undertaken on 12 March 2018), Nelson elected to re-think the track listing for the album, removing the songs "House of Mystery", "Luna Rosa", "Raindrops" and "Serene in Silver", and in the process reducing the number of instrumental pieces to just one.

Bill Nelson is a British musician, painter and photographer. Born December 18, 1948 in Wakefield, West Yorkshire (England) he is best known as the founder of (1972-1978), although he is also a prolific and accomplished solo artist in his own right. Following an education at Wakefield College Of Art, Bill Nelson's first recorded works were contributions to recordings A-Austr: Musics From Holyground (1970) and (1971). His first solo album was released on in 1971 and saw notable airplay by John Peel. A year later Bill formed Be Bop Deluxe, a venture that under Nelson's guidance morphed from its initial blues and glam rock beginnings into a stylistically experimental endeavour that encompassed elements of prog rock, new wave, art rock and proto punk. Bill disbanded Be Bop Deluxe in 1978, however these influences were taken further for his next project Red Noise (1978-1979), after recording he concentrated on working as a solo musician and received critical acclaim for his experimental synth-pop releases , and . The latter part of the 1980s saw Nelson progress into increasingly esoteric territory as his personal interest in occult and gnostic beliefs were packaged alongside voluminous ambient albums which were created with the immediacy of creative inspiration. This work ethic saw the release of a staggering amount of music. Despite personal and financial troubles through the late 1980s he has maintained a prolific recorded output and although he does not tour he makes a single public performance each year at annual 'Nelsonica' events in Yorkshire, England.
