Back in 94, The Fireman quietly release an album called “Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest“… it’s an electronic / ambient adventure that contains nine versions, or remixes, on a single theme set to a moderately paced drum rhythm of one track.  1998 roles around to see the release of “Rushes” but this time the songs and textures are varied and is much more like a proper album.

Well, it turns out The Fireman is Paul McCartney and Youth (producer/remixer) but one would never know McCartney is behind the project.  The work sounds nothing like him.  

A good 10 years on and they are back with another album - Electric Arguments  - and the release date is set for 11/25 here in the US.  Their past work is essential for any ambient fan, I have no doubt the upcoming release will be a requirement as well.
