THIS IS OUR MUSIC: Bill Nelson – “Eros Arriving”.
he enigmatic Bill Nelson with a discography longer than a mile and associations with Be Bop Deluxe, Red Noise, Fiat Lux and Channel Light Vessel and also recordings on his own Cocteau music label. “Eros Arriving” is a 7″ released in 1982.
THIS IS OUR MUSIC: Tom Tom Club – “As above so below”.
Avant garde video for “As Above, So Below” directed by fellow RISD graduate Mary Lambert.
Although that video was never officially sanctioned by Warner Bros. Records, its black and white, grainy filmic qualities and mix of salacious sex and tarot readings seems far more in line with the quirky, kitschy aesthetic of the self-titled album.
