Fish - Internal Exile (1991) [Remastered 2012]

Posted By: hill0

Date: Oct. 20, 2016

This is not an official release with bonus tracks. Internal Exile was Fish's second solo album after leaving Marillion in 1988. The album, released 28 October 1991, was inspired by the singer's past, his own personal problems and his troubled experiences with his previous record label EMI. The album's music reflects Fish's indulgence in the vast regions of music that he wanted to explore as a solo artist; most notably Celtic music and folk styles. The album also has many concert staples such as "Credo", "Tongues" and "Internal Exile" featuring on a number of Fish's official bootleg recordings.

Fish's self-proclaimed "collection of songs" second solo release is just that, but it's a collection of songs worth giving a few listens. It contains perhaps his strongest post Marillion song in "Credo" and perhaps his weakest: "Favourite Stranger." At the time, Fish was struggling with his old record company (EMI), trying to retrace some of his musical roots and rediscovering "Scottish Nationalism." All of these themes surface somewhere on this record. It is probably the most ecclectic (and easiest to get into) selection that the scaled-one has ever put out. A remaster exists out there as a European import, and the two bonus tracks ("Carnival Man" & "Poet's Moon") are worth the extra $7 to $10 you may have to spend on it. They are both excellent tracks. While IE could heve benefited from a more focused thematic approach and less whining about record deals and executives (stuff that most average listeners won't relate to or care about), it has some very fine lyrics, musicianship, production and songwriting scattered all over it. Recommended.
