Bill Nelson ‎– Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam (1981)

Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam is an album by English multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Bill Nelson, released in 1981 on Mercury. Recorded in late 1979, the album stemmed from an abortive second Red Noise project. Musically, the songs here further mine the electro-kinetic modernism first explored on Drastic Plastic and Sound-on-Sound. Four of the songs were released on 7″ and 12″, each with multiple b-sides from assorted 1979–81 sessions that were later compiled on The Two-Fold Aspect of Everything.
