Some of the singles didn't help things any - the first, 'Metropolis,' is one of the band's more subtle rockers, with a catchy chorus and some fine guitar, especially at the end, but not immediate first-listen success. The first track on the album as a whole is a different matter - 'Pharoah' is a dramatic start, with the slow builds so favored by the band given a decidedly threatening, ominous twist. After that things move between hit and miss, but there's enough character coming through to ensure a pleasant listen. 'Monday Morning' lightly repeats the waltz-time feel of 's 'Antenna,' while 'Russian Autumn Heart,' 's vocal lead on the album, is a crisp rocker with the guitarist delivering things in his trademark ragged-but-right fashion. Other general highlights include 'Disappointment' and the gentle 'Laughing,' but 'Grind' is the other main keeper on, a slow destructive burn of a song that matches the opening menace of 'Pharoah' with a measured downward slide.
Gold Afternoon Fix by Released 22 February 1990 Recorded Ocean Way Recording Studios, 1989, Length 57: 17 (Australia) (International) and chronology (1988) 1988 Gold Afternoon Fix (1990) A Quick Smoke at Spot's: Archives 1986-1990 (1991) A Quick Smoke at Spot's: Archives 191 Gold Afternoon Fix is the sixth album by the Australian band, released in February 1990. It was their second album for in the US and was expected to capitalise and build on the success of 1988's. The album saw considerable promotion upon its release, but despite moderate success in the US, with the single 'Metropolis' reaching the top of the chart, the release failed to deliver mass commercial appeal. Following their tour for the Starfish album in 1988, the band members went home for a four-month break before reconvening to begin work on the next album.
Arista demanded demos of all the tracks before the official recording process could begin. Consequently, the band was tired of the material by the time the recording sessions commenced in late 1989. Further difficulties arose when the band wanted ex- bassist to produce, but the record label wanted to team the band again with L.A. Session musician and engineer, not wanting to change what had been a winning formula. Arista feared a Jones/Church collaboration might turn out too arty and non-commercial and vetoed the venerable musician in favour of the safer (and commercially tested) Wachtel, although Ladanyi was left out. Band members repeatedly noted how much they had disliked recording Starfish. That album's song 'North, South, East And West' had been an indictment of Los Angeles' shallower aspects.
The recording sessions for the album were particularly fraught and in-band tensions led to drummer being ostracised. While some of the bare, open sound that characterised Starfish punctuates the recording, the use of programmed drums instead of Ploog's live performances on all but three tracks resulted in the album being criticised as somewhat stiff and cold. According to biographer Robert Dean Lurie, the demo recordings for Gold Afternoon Fix were more successful than the finished album, despite their roughness. Ploog left the group for good following the recording and former drummer was brought in for the tour. Despite the album's title, Steve Kilbey was not yet using at this point.
He only started smoking (not fixing) the drug after the subsequent tour, having been introduced to it by of. The title actually derives from a relating to the daily price which is set for gold.
The album is unique among the Church's releases in the absence of any 12-string electric guitar. The missing trademark sound was due to guitarist 's 12-string having been stolen during the previous tour. Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating. Contents.
