The album was issued in 1988 credited to Orchestra Arcana, due to the contractual situation Bill found himself in with CBS Records. The music within comprises recordings made at Bill's Echo Observatory home studio in 1984 and 1985. Bill Nelson reflected on the album thus; “Whilst these recordings are lo-fi in nature, I have always been fond of them. These recordings serve as a reminder that expensive technology isn't always the key to creativity.” Optimism is a fine album that remains fascinating and engaging nearly three decades later.The Cocteau Discs edition fully restores the original album artwork and features a note by Bill Nelson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Exactly the Way You Want It \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Why Be Lonely \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Everyday Is a Better Day \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The Receiver and the Fountain Pen \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Welcome Home, Mister Kane \u003cbr\u003e1.6 This Is True \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Greeting a New Day \u003cbr\u003e1.8 The Breath in My Father's Saxophone \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Our Lady of Apparitions \u003cbr\u003e1.10 The Whole City Between Us \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Deva Dance \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Always Looking Forward to Tomorrow \u003cbr\u003e1.13 World Thru Fast Car Window \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Profiles, Hearts, Stars \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Daughter of Dream Come True \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Alchemia \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Um, Ah Good Evening \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Kut Up in Cartoonsville \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Short Wave\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bill Nelson Orchestra Arcana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32463894085703,"sku":"28808176","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2987433.jpg?v=1747399018","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/bill-nelson-orchestra-arcana-optimism-remastered-expanded-edition","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
