Following his tenure with Genesis, Bill recorded his debut album as a leader-- "Feels Good To Me", released 1978. Considered a solo album, it predated the official start of the band "Bruford" although it features musical performances from many of the musicians who would go on to work with Bill full-time in that group.
The album features a number of key tracks including the instrumental tracks Beelzebub and Sample And Hold. Vocalist Annette Peacock contributes vocals to four tracks and a co-writing credit on the track "Adios a la Pasada" (Goodbye To The Past).

Bill recorded his debut album as a leader in 1978-- "Feels Good To Me", but it wasn't until the conclusion of an 18-month spell with the band UK that his vision of a more permanent outfit bore fruit.
