New Fish album Weltschmerz in surround!

[César]

This is going with a blast! The new and what is supposed to be the last album by Fish will be released in Blu-ray and in 5.1, just confirmed today:

His previous LP was great (A Feast of Consequences) and the EP that contains some songs that will be in this album (A Parley with Angels) was excellent as well.
Really looking forward to it

 

[Ninecats]

Woah, that is excellent news!

Cesar, thanks for posting this.

I checked out the following 3 songs from youtube that will be on the new album and if any indication of the rest of the new album this is going to be a really good album.

Man with a Stick
Little Man What Now?
Waverley Steps

Is this really going to be his last album?

Planet Rock (UK DAB Radio Station) was playing "Man In A Stick" a while ago and its really catchy - I can hear it in my head even after just reading the title!

That's been his plan for quite some time. He's planning to retire from music biz, that's why he's remastering his back catalogue and touring in an attempt to complete his retirement funds. Take a look at his diaries on his website, I like his honesty very much.

And first single here, great song in my opinion and with lots of possibilities for a surround mix:

 

[GOS]

Well, hell. I really like that.

 

[4-earredwonder]

Well, hell. I really like that.

Ditto........GO FISH

Young Mr Fish says pre-orders will start in early June 2020.
Was trying to find order details and to save everyone else the bother, I have added the confirmation.
And to repeat his words:
Take Care, Stay Alive!!!

 

[IMachine]

No pre orders so I think it will be delayed.

 

[user 1679]

According to his website pre-orders start on July 24, release date Sept 25.

Pre orders are now available. £50 for the deluxe version which includes 1 bluray plus 2 cds, in a similar looking sized book to the Marillion/Tull releases.

A bit more about the album is here, including a video for another of the new songs. Sounds nice.

The surround is mixed by Avril Mackintosh and Andy Bradfield, who did a couple of the recent Marillions.

Well pooh, looks like my first Fish will also be his last. Thanks for the link to the release as well as the video.

 

[beerking]

The named mixing duo, will mean I will wait for reviews before I consider a purchase....their track record is not great.
Shame.

Tame, yeah? Like the recent Marillion, which while OK were lacking the mix SW brought to his pair.

 

[user 1679]

A bit of the pricy side but I pre-ordered anyway. I quite like the video and song posted and I just like to support independent stuff like this, especially these days.

 

[DuncanS]

I have loved the singles I've heard so ordered it, the surround is a bonus...........hopefully!

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Fingers crossed for a great surround mix

Had to look it up, here's what wiki says it means-

Weltschmerz (from the German, literally world-pain, also world weariness, pronounced [ˈvɛltʃmɛɐ̯ts]) is a term coined by the German author Jean Paul. In its original meaning in the Deutsches Wörterbuch by Brothers Grimm, it denotes a deep sadness about the inadequacy or imperfection of the world (tiefe Traurigkeit über die Unzulänglichkeit der Welt). The translation can differ depending on context, in reference to the self it can mean "world weariness", in reference to the world it can mean "the pain of the world".

 

[Neil Palfreyman]

The deluxe edition of his last album "A Feast of Consequences" was so damned good ,even without a surround mix, that I pre ordered this one with zero hesitation.

Pro order here

Fish has said in interviews how good he thinks the surround mix is, and you can only hope, given how he must have been involved in the early Marillion surround mixes, that he knows a bit about it.
