"Futurama" by BeBop Deluxe (1975)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
BeBop Deluxe  "Futurama"  1975 (UK)
BeBop Deluxe is a wonderful, unclassifiable band that only made five studio albums; their sound incorporated glam, prog, metal and new wave in a distrinctly British style (non-London Yorkshirish to boot) - and also guitar heroics. And there is no album that features Bill Nelson's guitar pyrotechnics like BeBop's second LP Futurama.  After their first album, Nelson fired all the other musicians and began rebuilding the band as a power trio with Simon Fox on drums and Charlie Tumahai on bass (joined on later albums by Andy Clark on keys). Since this is the only BeBop album without a keyboardist, Nelson filled up every nook and cranny with his post-Hendrix, not-quite-metal guitar shredding (almost like a British Boston?)
