 (23 Customer Reviews)
This 1975 album from Chris Squirem, who counts himself as a founder member of prog-rock figureheads Yes, builds on his other band's sprawling sound over the space of five songs.
Yes-like in every possible aspect, Chris Squire's Fish out of Water is an album that's typical of his band's progressive formula: softened keyboard extensions à la Patrick Moraz, steady yet atmospheric percussion work from Bill Bruford, and a smattering of flute and saxophone that accompanies a small orchestra, which includes effective horn and harp work. Squire's guitar playing is standard, coming to life the most on "Silently Falling" and "Lucky Seven," with the former boosted by a rather dazzling synthesizer solo from Moraz. Even though there are few surprises laid out on the album's five tracks, the elemental composition of pure '70s progressive rock is strewn across each song from start to finish. Squire even sounds like Jon Anderson, especially on "Hold out Your Hand," and each of the song's melodies cater to Squire's vocal ascent. Fish out of Water harbors some firm instrumental and vocal cross-breeding while remaining well within the prog rock norm. ~ Mike DeGagne

Fish Out Of Water Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews A MASTERPIECE!
This is the best overall solo work of any Yes alumni with Jon Andersons, "Animation", sadly still unavailable, in second place.

 Unique Bass Style
Fans of Yes or golden-age Prog should not miss this 1975 solo outing by Chris Squire. Here you have Chris's distinctive pick-style playing backed up by Bill Bruford on drums, Patrick Moraz on keyboards, Mel Collins (King Crimson) on sax, and Barry Rose (The League of Gentlemen) on church organ. There's even a full orchestra, "Fish Out of Water" is smooth and Progressive, just like Yes in the 70s.

 Timeless
Nearly 30 years old and still the best "Yes" album since "Relayer".
Squire has a limited vocal range but uses it it to great effect on the five tracks here. Nothing goes on too long, the playing suggests a real band and the production (Squire's own) allows everything to shine through the mix.
Anyone expecting 20 minute bass solos will be dissapointed but his muscular playing and signature sound underpin everything brilliantly.
Certainly the best Yes solo album bar none and a wonderful achievement in its own right. Timeless, intelligent music that even non-fans will enjoy. If you only buy one 30 year old solo album from a member of the worlds greatest progressive rock band this year, make it this one.

Brilliant
Just First Class and has certainly stood the test of time. Proving without doubt his compositional skills and the fact that he is amongst the best bass players of his generation.
Enjoy!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Different
This is much different than Yes music. At points it reminds me of Sting and the Police. Mainly Chris's vocals. Overall it is a good disc and a keeper with my Yes stuff. Great bass parts for the bass players. This disc does show off Chris's bass licks for the time period it was written and recorded. If this album was recorded now it would get Chris on the cover of Bass Player magazine

 $15.65  
The release of 2009's ENDGAME brings with it a startling realization: if first-generation thrash metal fans had been polled about which of the genre's "Big Four" -- Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth -- would prove to be the most resilient and consistently prolific over the next quarter century, the only sure-fire consensus would probably have been "well, anyone but Megadeth!" And yet, 12 studio albums and 150-plus songs later -- more than any of the other three have managed -- that's exactly what's come to pass. The group's second release for Roadrunner, whose title apparently refers to "coming ...

After British maestro guitarist Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple in 1974, he recruited Purple Records signees Elf as his backing band. And although Rainbow's 1975 debut was only a hint of future greatness, the album more than holds its own.
Elf was led by dramatic metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio, who seemed to connect with Blackmore in quite a chemical fashion. "Man on the Silver Mountain" is prime material, as is the six-minute blues-metal classic "Catch the Rainbow." Dio's shining vocals, shown to ...

Fish Out Of Water CD music
$7.65
Tesla was a bit of an anomaly on the '80s scene. While making concessions to the Sunset Strip mentality of the era (song titles littered with slang, tracks laced with thinly veiled euphemisms), the music itself holds a great deal more in common with rough-and-tumble hard rock than with watered-down glam. The record's greatest assets are vocalist Jeff Keith, who combines an authentic blues delivery with competent melodic range, and guitarist Keith Hannon, who supplies ample electricity amid the four-measure ...
