Early material From After The Fire / 4
This is the perfect companion to the recently released double disc Der Kommissar compilation of all their CBS material. To complete the set and get everything the band released, it's worth checking out this little curio.

Originally it was released back in April 1978. In the middle of the English punk and new wave explosion, it was a very brave move for a band to self finance the release of an album rather than a single. It sold 2000 copies in the first month of its release and the success of the album contributed to CBS deciding to sign them.

However it is markedly different to the material that appeared on their CBS releases. It features singer Andy Piercy playing guitar, drummer Ivor Twidell who would stay with the band until after the release of their first CBS album Laser Love and Nick Battle on bass who would depart from the band almost immediately Signs Of Change was recorded. The album really belongs to keyboard player Pete Banks whose virtuosity drives Signs Of Change along.

Comparisons have to be made with prog Rock bands like ELP and Genesis when describing the material on Signs Of Change. The album features lengthy tracks that are strong on melody but feature some of the most amazing keyboard playing you're likely to hear anywhere.

OK, I have to admit that the years have not been overly kind to the album because Prog Rock is seen as being unfashionable these days but if you're a fan of the band's other music, this is an essential purchase to get the whole picture. For four years from 1978 (when I discovered the band) until their final concert at the Dominion Theatre in London at Christmas 1982, I would stand in audiences listening to die hard fans shouting out for the closing track of this album, the epic Pilgrim. Always a fan favourite, it sounds great here on CD. the story of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress in eleven stunning minutes!

After The Fire were an amazing band and this is an amazing album! These days, a new line up of the band has formed and are beginning to gig again! I can't wait. Not sure whether any of this material will make it into the set list but I bet when I stand and watch them, some wag will shout out for Pilgrim. Check out www.afterthefire.co.uk for more details.
Song "Now That I’ve Found"
Lord now I feel that there's something I'm wanting to say
A feeling that's real, don't know why that I'm thinking this way
But now that I've found this is right
I guess that I'd better give up this fight
Lord now I feel that there's something I'm wanting to say

Well what are the words you want me to speak
Come teach me some holy line

One thing I've learned is blind eyes can see
Oh open my eyes

You're wanting my life, I'm here on my knees
Please set my heart on fire

Ok, I, I'll live my life
And I will learn to do what's right
My eyes accustom to new light
My past behind me out of sight

Now I'm talking to you of a love to cling to
Just believe this story true
Yes I'm talking to you of a love to cling to
Just believe this story true

This love is the greatest thing
This love is the greatest thing
This love is the greatest thing

Lord now I feel that there's something I'm wanting to say
A feeling that's real and I'm glad that I'm thinking this way
Now that I've found this is right

Like some mythic creature from the medieval bestiary, Child Ballads is rarely seen, difficult to hear, and?when finally experienced?elusive. Fronted by ex?Jonathan Fire Eater singer Stewart Lupton, the band materializes in concert only once or twice a year, then quickly vanishes.
