Subject: what the
This question has been bugging me since I came up with it last night at bout 1.30 am. We all know who Bill Nelson is, right? Well, I knew his name before I knew his work because he fronted a band in the 70s with two other guys. Shit, I even had a couple of their albums. The question is...WHAT WAS THE BAND'S NAME??? I remember bits and pieces about their stuff, like the word "Cocteau" appearing a lot, and a double live album with the word "Air" in it somewhere; it had some sort of plastic robot on the cover. Fill me in, please. thanks %%Rob ps got "On a Blue Wing" a couple days ago. Sounds good, a lot like Bryan Ferry, but a little more musically sound. Interesting insertions of marimba here and there give it an interesting flavour. A little more poppish than I'd like overall, but the outstanding musicianship makes it more than listenable.
