Featuring new original paper cutting artwork from Jad Fair and liner notes by David Fair. Formed in the mid-70s, and setting the standard for post-punk ever since, Jad and David Fair and Half Japanese return with a new volume that finds us twenty years into their story. The 90s would see them under a new spotlight as Kurt Cobain used his celebrity to tell anyone that would listen about their greatness, and had the band tour with Nirvana. They would respond with three of the most wild and varied albums in their career. Continuing their Fire deluxe reissues of the entire Half Japanese catalogue, Volume Three: 1990-1995 is the third of four volumes containing three LPs\/CDs.This next set of Half Japanese LPs begins with 1990’s explosively, noisy and chaotic (sometimes improvised) ‘We Are They Who Ache With Amorous Love’ featuring their cover of the Them garage rock classic “Gloria” and two tracks “Titanic\" and \"Hand Without a Body” that were co-written with the like-minded Daniel Johnston. Two years later the notably more delicate and, dare we say, jangly, ‘Fire In The Sky’ (1992) arrived at a pivotal time for the group when they gained notable recognition from the likes of Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Teenage Fanclub and Yo La Tengo (whose Ira Kaplan guests on the record). This highly anticipated third installation closes the trio with 1995’s ‘Hot’ which became MTVs album of the week on release, with Michael Goldbery writing “Hot, mixes Sonic Youth-style noise, Stooges primitivism and ’60s pop with excellent results. “Lucky Ones” is a simply charming number (“A good thing just got better\/ As better as better can be”) reminiscent of Jonathan Richman, while “Drum Straight” is dose of feedback drenched skonk and “Vampire” rocks hard liken the Sonic’s “Bull In The Heather.” Fire’s colossal Half\u003cbr\u003eJapanese series began last year with the Record Store Day exclusive of ‘Half Gentleman\/Not Beasts’, this set contains the records in their original form with extras that later appeared on CD formats available. It will also include original artwork from Jad Fair and liner notes by Half Japanese hall of famer Mark David Jickling. “Cutting straight to the gut. Jad’s phrasing matches surging sentiments, creating a counterpoint to the spot-on music. When they grind out a groove half-rhythmic\/half-blank cadences, the woozy disconnect is oddly compelling” Pitchfork’s Best New Reissue.\u003cbr\u003e“There’s no doubt Half Japanese’s re-release of their huge, constantly evolving body of music could become a template for modern musicians” Earbuddy.\u003cbr\u003e“An impressive and well-assembled study of one of this band's more interesting periods” All Music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe Are They Who Ache With Amorous Love\u003cbr\u003e– 1990\u003cbr\u003e1 Every Hour\u003cbr\u003e2 Elevator Boy\u003cbr\u003e3 Gloria\u003cbr\u003e4 Ear\u003cbr\u003e5 The Titanic\u003cbr\u003e6 Our Eyes\u003cbr\u003e7 Spin\u003cbr\u003e8 Up And Down\u003cbr\u003e9 All Of Me\u003cbr\u003e10 Hand Without A Body\u003cbr\u003e11 Going Home\u003cbr\u003e12 Three Rings\u003cbr\u003e13 How Did You Know?\u003cbr\u003e14 Then We Walk\u003cbr\u003e15 Secret\u003cbr\u003e16 Best\u003cbr\u003e17 The House I Live In\u003cbr\u003e18 Shanty Town\u003cbr\u003e19 Run...\u003cbr\u003eFire In The Sky – 1992\u003cbr\u003e1 UFO Expert\u003cbr\u003e2 Tears Stupid Tears\u003cbr\u003e3 Eye Of The Hurricane\u003cbr\u003e4 This Could Be The Night\u003cbr\u003e5 Possum Head\u003cbr\u003e6 It's A Clear Night\u003cbr\u003e7 Frosty\u003cbr\u003e8 Turn Your Life Around\u003cbr\u003e9 I Love A Mystery\u003cbr\u003e10 12 Houses\u003cbr\u003e11 Hangar 18\u003cbr\u003e12 Magic Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e13 It's No Wonder\u003cbr\u003e14 Fire In The Sky\u003cbr\u003e15 Good Luck\u003cbr\u003e16 Gates Of Glory\u003cbr\u003eHot – 1995\u003cbr\u003e1 Drum Straight\u003cbr\u003e2 True Believers\u003cbr\u003e3 Well\u003cbr\u003e4 Dark Night\u003cbr\u003e5 Part Of My Plan\u003cbr\u003e6 Vampire\u003cbr\u003e7 Lucky Ones\u003cbr\u003e8 Vast Continent\u003cbr\u003e9 Guess Again\u003cbr\u003e10 Black Fruit\u003cbr\u003e11 Sleep Talk\u003cbr\u003e12 Smile\u003cbr\u003e13 Lucky Town\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cargo","offers":[{"title":"3LP Black - FIRELP344","offer_id":56419005170043,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3CD - FIRECD344","offer_id":56419147317627,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3020\/0134\/files\/HalfJapanese-Volume3.jpg?v=1789483259","url":"https:\/\/www.mixeduprecords.com\/products\/half-japanese-volume-3-1990-1995","provider":"Mixed Up Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
