### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The antithesis of Duran Duran
  

*by D***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2017*

The Fire Engines' brief career is well summed up here with almost every track they recorded. As much a part of the early 80's Scottish small independent scene as the likes of Josef K and Orange Juice, The Fire Engines instead concentrated on lo-fi, first take, minimal song construction. Quite a lot here is instrumental, showing a warts n all approach of jagged guitars, reedy minimalist vocals and sloppy drumming - and it's all the more fascinating as a result. When they get going it's the intertwining of those disparate sounds that adds depth. Influential on many bands that followed, not least Franz Ferdinand, their biggest 'hit' (if you can call it that) Candyskin is the standout here. If you remember this group from John Peel sessions you know what your getting - rough, ready atonal, and with more credibility than much overly produced sounds of this era. The antithesis of Duran Duran.

*by C***7 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2013*

Postcard Records was the 'Sound of Young Scotland', but proof is here that Edinburgh's Fire Engines may have produced the definitive cuts.  They rarely get the credit they deserve, mainly due to a meagre output which makes the equally-vital Josef K look prolific. Everything they issued is here - what could they add? The perfect career. Excellent liner notes recall bleak years in the Capital, either side of 1980, when it 'always seemed to rain'.  The angular amphetamine rush of these succinct tracks still takes the breath away, and reflects the times more readily than the fragile beauty of Orange Juice.  Yet Fire Engines sound vital and now.  Meat Whiplash says it all, really, and for me just pips the wondrous Get Up and Use Me,
