Three Fish

Music For Rhinos

Where are the Three Fish fans? Jeff's side band of course...been thinking of picking up these albums. Are they worth it?

I listened to a few of the songs that were on Youtube and they were cool but it's hard to tell partly because my computer's speakers aren't very good.

Any feedback appreciated!

Totally worth it. But, I think it's a little bit expensive on amazon.co.uk. Maybe, because they are rare. There are at least three very good songs in both albums. From The Quiet Table (1999): 1) Once In A Day, 2) Timeless and 3) My Only Foe and from Three Fish (1996): 1) Solitude, 2) A Lovely Meander, and 3) Laced.

I haven't listened to it extensively, but it seems to smack the rest of the PJ side projects around.

These albums are definitely worth it. Very different from PJ and next to Mad Season the best of the side projects.

Quiet Table is really good! Tremor Void is my favorite song by them. Has a very mellow vibe that album.

I purchased both of these when they were released, and have them both on CD and vinyl.
Both vinyl copies have 3 extra tracks, and if memory serves, they are not tacked on the end, but inserted at various points in the tracklisting.

I like the first album a lot. It's kind of sparse, with lots of breathing space. For the most part, a pretty mellow listen, with the except of "Silence at the Bottom of the Well".

Bear in mind that I haven't listened to the Quiet Table in many, many years, so my memory is sketchy. The following is based more on a fleeting memory of a feeling, than any objective point of view:

The second album is much more musically dense, more of a cluttered feel, and pretty different to the first record. I didn't dig it as much.

Both are pretty left of centre 'rock' albums, with world music pretensions, but both are very different beasts.
