Raingods with Zippos
Remove ads

Raingods with Zippos is a 1999 progressive rock album by ex-Marillion vocalist Fish. It was released on the Roadrunner record label, more well-known for its heavy metal releases. Raingods with Zippos is often hailed as one of Fish's greatest solo achievements, along with his 1990 debut Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors. It is the first of three Fish albums to be produced by Elliot Ness (not including the "best of" collection Kettle of Fish from 1998, with which Ness was involved). While he was not involved with the production of this album, Steven Wilson, most famous for his work with Porcupine Tree, played guitar on several of the tracks.

Critical reception

Glenn Astarita of All About Jazz called it "refreshing, wonderfully produced and an audiophile's treat" and "about class as all the material presented here holds its own after repeated listens. Fish sings with conviction while displaying a gutsy attitude that exudes sheer power and determination."[1]
