Has anyone else in the world heard of a group called Fischer-Z? I once picked up a single of their's at a store in Long Beach by chance, and found it to be interesting. I later heard more of their material when I was in Europe, but have only been able to locate one of their albums here in the States, "Going Deaf for a Living." Has anyone seen or heard any of their other albums such as "Word Salad"? A very interesting and somewhat unique sounding group. Here's to more tunes! B.W. Donnelly

Fischer-Z (pronounce it "Zed," 'cuz they're British) are most famous for "So Long" from the album "Going Deaf for a Living," an uneven album. I managed to pick up "Word Salad" at a used-record store and recommend it very highly. The lead singer emulates Roger Daltry a touch, making the whole record sound like the Who would if they were still exciting. "GDFAL" is four or five years old by now; has anyone heard anything Fischer-Z has done since then?
