Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fischer-Z built 'Red Skies Over Paradise' around Cold War unease, social observation, and tightly wound new wave arrangements. John Watts' sharp vocal delivery and political writing give the album a more urgent tone than much of the period's radio-oriented guitar pop.
