Colin Newman - Provisionally Entitled The Singing Fish (1981)


Love this on a Sunday. I've been listening to a lot of This Heat side projects lately (Camberwell Now, Gareth Williams/Mary  Currie), this is hitting me in that sweet spot, guess I need to go down the Wire rabbit hole now (any recs?). Not too many ideas at once, perfectly arranged, smart electronic pop songs. "Fish Seven" is my favorite at the moment, sounds like he's jamming with first-album-era Harmonia. Dig that provisional fish!

  1. Cool stuff, thanks. I remember reading an article in high school about this album, which ran in a 1980 edition of Trouser Press magazine. Nice to hear it after all this time.
