Shining Reflector by Bill Nelson
Shining Reflector is an album mixing vocal and instrumental pieces. Originally released on CD in December 2014, in a limited edition run of 500, it sold out in only 10 days.
The material included on Shining Reflector was created during the Stereo Star Maps sessions when that album was planned as a double. In the end, the material was split into three different releases, Swoons and Levitations being the third album.
Shining Reflector has a different feel to Stereo Star Maps. It's a bit more up-tempo and slightly 'pop-rocky' but it has a wide-screen sonic quality too.
As always, the download comes with complete PDF artwork.
