What does it sound like?:
Fish continues his programme of reissues with this 3 cd expanded version of his 2001 effort Fellini Days.
This is a somewhat neglected album from a rather sticky period of his solo career, but it does warrant a reappraisal all these years down the line.
As with the other albums in this series, the 3 cds are split between the original album, demos and live recordings.
The original album is the strongest of the three, with the lengthier songs like 3D, Pilgrims Address, Tiki 4 and Clock Moves Sideways standing out in particular.
The demos on cd 2 are mainly instrumentals this time round, while there are some good live renditions of the material on the third cd.
The package comes with a very good booklet with extensive notes on the album’s recording and lyrics etc from the man himself.
What does it all *mean*?
Not perhaps one of the strongest Fish albums, but it’s interesting to hear it again and to be able to trace the development of the songs through the various demos.
Goes well with…
Other Fish albums – although this is maybe more one for the completists, who will definitely want to own this.
Release Date:
Might suit people who like…
As above really, but this album is not as prog oriented as you might expect!
