Description
Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of the iconic British musician's 1986 release including two bonus tracks. The album was credited to Orchestra Arcana due to the contractual situation Bill found himself in with CBS Records. The music within comprises recordings made at Bill's Echo Observatory home studio in 1984 and 1985. Bill Nelson reflected on the album thus; "Whilst these recordings are lo-fi in nature, I have always been fond of them. These recordings serve as a reminder that expensive technology isn't always the key to creativity". Iconography is a fine album that remains fascinating and engaging nearly three decades later. This Cocteau Discs edition fully restores the original album artwork and features a new note by Bill Nelson.
