专辑简介
Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish was originally released in 1981 and marked a departure from Newman's previous experience in bands, as he wrote all the tracks and played all the instruments. It is completely different from his earlier work and not in the slightest a pop record. Cinematic, but also slightly unfocussed, the thirteen tracks (Fish One, Fish Two, Fish Three, etc) are generally listenable and sometimes impressive, but can sometimes wander along without going anywhere. Quite a range of instrumentation is covered and most people will find something they enjoy. Not to sees a return to the band format. Without Mike Thorne's input the sound is much sparser allowing each of the elements to thrive: repetitive guitar loops mix with Gillham's odd basslines and Colin's pleasant if far too heavily reverberated vocals. It also gives one an insight as to how Wire might have sounded in the early '80s had they never split. Many of the tracks are reinterpretations of tracks Wire had been playing in 1980 including Safe, We Meet Under Tables and the fantastic You, Me and Happy. An odd cover of Blue Jay Way (The Beatles) rounds off a very good selection. The simple style works well and although the content is rarely challenging or revolutionary it stands true as an excellent release all the same. 4AD.
