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 1990s explosively, noisy and chaotic (sometimes improvised) We Are They Who Ache With Amorous Love featuring their cover of the Them garage rock classic quot;Gloriaquot; and two tracks quot;Titanicquot; and quot;Hand Without a Bodyquot; 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 1995s Hot which became MTVs album of the week on release, with Michael Goldbery writing quot;Hot, mixes Sonic Youth-style noise, Stooges primitivism and 60s pop with excellent results. quot;Lucky Onesquot; is a simply charming number (quot;A good thing just got better/ As better as better can bequot;) reminiscent of Jonathan Richman, while quot;Drum Straightquot; is dose of feedback drenched skonk and quot;Vampirequot; rocks hard liken the Sonics quot;Bull In The Heather.quot; Fires colossal Half Japanese 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.
