William Richard "Billy" Thorpe AM was an Australian musician who achieved fame as a pop singer in the 1960s and a hard rocking guitarist in the 1970s. And like most Australian pop and rock stars of the 1960s and 1970s, Billy was born in the UK. He then when on to further fame in the US in the 1980s where he is best known for the album Children Of The Sun.
After the space rock of the Children Of The Sun suite and it's sequel on the bulk of the 21st Century Man album, Stimulation is a return to a straight rock album. The title track was a minor hit and apparently popular in Europe with dance music DJs. Like 21st Century Man, this album features Aztecs stalwart Gil 'Rathead' Mathews on drums, although Billy also experiemnts with drum machines as well as some Police style white reggae on what was side two of the LP. Stimulation has never been officially released on CD.
Billy Thorpe passed away suddenly on 28 February 2007.

Special Notes: As this album was never officially released on CD, this rip comes from a pirate CD edition. This means the quality of the artwork isn't that great.
