About us

Originally founded in 1984 by Clive Solomon and the late journalist Jonny Waller the label trailblazed through the late 80s and 90s before burning brightly and burning out, right before the indie revival.

The turn of the millennium has seen Fire rise, phoenix like, under the direction of James Nicholls. Modern day Fire Records combines the cosmic pop of Jane Weaver, Virginia Wing, Islet and Pictish Trail with the haunting ambience of Death And Vanilla, the aural tapestries of Faten Kanaan, the other worldly spirituality of Josephine Foster , the freak-folk mysticality of Brigid Mae Power, the choral ambience of Lucy Gooch and the uncategorizable and universally acclaimed Vanishing Twin.

Editorial Reviews

Collecting the bracing and brilliant Pere Ubu in their earliest incarnation, with the devastating one-two knockout blow of 1978 studio bookends “The Modern Dance” and “Dub Housing”, following by “The Hearpen Singles (1975-1977)” and a red hot live set “Manhattan”, recorded at the legendary Max’s Kansas City in 1977; “Elitism For The People 1975-78” serves as a gut punch.

5.0 out of 5 stars I HAVE DESIRES!
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2018

This album rules! Every song is great, even the really weird ones grow on you. Not quite as instantly accessible as their debut, but contains "Ubu Dance Party", the closest thing to a pop song the original lineup dared to create. The new lineup are only just now starting to rekindle the magic of these glory days.

I would recommend this, Modern Dance, and New Picnic Time to anyone interested in freaky pop music. Ubu is an acquired taste, but those three albums are 100% worth your time. Each listen reveals new layers of yelping, backwards bass parts, and found-sound synth squalls.

4.0 out of 5 stars a little dated
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2012

I suppose there wasn't a lot to get excited about around the time this album was released. It's hard for me to get enthusiastic about it in 2012. It's a little herky-jerkier than most rock of the era, but it really seems more of a piece with classic rock than something totally apart from it, despite what you might read. The synth/moog is a little amateurish. Credit for good intentions-- I do very much like the song titles and a lot of the lyrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible: 2008 Remaster makes a masterpiece even better
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2009
Verified Purchase
This album is one of Pere Ubu's best, one of my all-time favorites. But this review is to rave specifically about the new 2008 remaster, now available on CD from Cooking Vinyl. The original master tape was baked in an oven to dry it out (!!, but according to Pere Ubu's own website) and it was redigitized at the highest rate possible. The result is simply incredible: amazing new detail is now audible, the unique spatial qualities of the mix are even more apparent, and it all sounds wonderful. (To make sure you're getting the new remaster, order directly from Amazon under the entry with a "release date" in 2008.) Let's hope that Pere Ubu's other Chrysallis-era masterpiece, "New Picnic Time" gets similar treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Original Band
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
Pere Ubu is a very unique band based out of Cleveland, Ohio, and lead by Dave Thomas. Tomas' vocal style is unlike anything you've ever heard and so fits quite well in this very original band. Their music is avant garde at times and just plain strange at other times. I've followed them since this first album (released in 1978) and continue to enjoy their music to this day. If you like your music strange and original, Pere Ubu is a band you should check out.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the REAL thing, people
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2002

All of you goatee wearin', Starbucks haunting alternative rockers need to get hip to the REAL THING. David Thomas wails, cries, pounds the asphalt with his in-your-face observations (I hear Thomas is a Jehovah's Witness -- I'll bet people have no choice but to let him in when he comes a knockin')! Chaotic and messy, it's way closer to true music than anything else produced today. You need this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Landmark post-punk
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2019
It pleases me that I am still adding to my desert discs at 47. Two months ago, I discovered this supremely f***ed record and every listen yields a new layer of insanity. It is unlike anything I have ever heard, which may or may not say something about how much music I've sampled. It's not even recorded on the same planet as "The Modern Dance". Get this, dig it, and you are a damfool if you don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music to spasm to
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2010
Verified Purchase
There's a uniqueness to Pere Ubu's early music that may not be readily apparent. Other bands have been experimental (awful word), the vast majority accessible (for want of a better...), but few have been both. Even fewer have managed to be both on the same record and how many (outside of the Jazz world, at least) on the same song? Pere Ubu made music that is equally accessible and experimental, but in their case not just on the same record, or even on the same song, but at the same time on the same song! And that, in a nutshell, is Ubu: an amazing and continual synergy of sound, between the visceral and the cerebral, the simple and the complex, the known and the unknown. Or, as singer David Thomas more pithily described it: 'avant-garage'.
'Dub Housing' and it's equally brilliant predecessor, 'The Modern Dance' are Pere Ubu's great legacy. On these records they proved being inventive didn't necessarily mean music that is extremely complex, long-winded or difficult to fathom. Their music will likely have an instant impact yet after many plays never be truly 'known'. For a band primarily dealing in the 3/4 minute pop/rock song that is refreshing and rare.
