THE WILD SWANS are a Post-punk band from Liverpool, England, which was originally formed back in 1980 whose core members had all been key players on the legendary Liverpool Eric's club scene. The band first came together when their vocalist, PAUL SIMPSON left the Teardrop Explodes with whom he had been playing keyboards in late 1979. Simpson formed THE WILD SWANS few months later with keyboardist and pianist GED QUINN, and JEREMY KELLY with whom he had spent a year previously rehearsing in an untitled and unrecorded local band.

One great band that PINOY NEW WAVERS really love. THE WILD SWANS were first introduced here in MANILA by NU 107 back in 1988 with the song 'BRINGING HOME THE ASHES'.

The band immediately click on the taste of Pinoy Music Enthusiasts back in the 80s because of the haunting and cool vocals of Paul Simpson. The man who made also a mark here in MANILA because of his previous band 'CARE'. The next MANILA hit was 'WHIRLPOOL HEART' which was also introduced by NU 107. Actually, the whole 'BRINGING HOME THE ASHES' album made it big here in MANILA and a must-have for all PINOY NEW WAVERS since all tracks had their airplay from NU 107, POWER 105 DZBM, and 99.5 RT. We will get through the details of each hits when I will feature the album itself here on my blog so just stay tune for that. THE WILD SWANS' next album which was 'SPACE FLOWER' didn't made that much impact comparing to 'Bringing Home The Ashes' and the song 'MELTING BLUE DELICIOUS' was the only song that got airplay here in MANILA which was also introduced by NU 107 back in 1990. In the past years, there were already a lot of rumors circulating about the possibility of THE WILD SWANS coming over here in MANILA to do some concerts.

Up until now, all of this remained as an imaginary thought. THE WILD SWANS 'The Platinum Collection' was originally released only here in the Philippines back in 2006. Dreambox 7000 Cam Installieren more. Everyone I knew who loves this band was just excited as I am to know this CD released in our local record bars. I just missed buying music materials in the record bars. Nowadays, you just can't seem to get a good buy anymore if you visit the record bar here in the Philippines.

Recently, there was this news about the Top 5 business around the world that will get extinct for the next 5 years and sad to say 'RECORD BARS' are included. This CD compilation collects all 10 tracks from 'Bringing Home The Ashes' as well as 8 of the 10 tracks from its follow up 'Space Flower'. The two tracks from 'Space Flower' which were both not included were 'Tangerine Temple' and 'Vanilla Melange'.

I will feature both albums of 'The Wild Swans' here my little blog 'The Doctor Is In' in the future. Definitely, this CD is another must-have for PINOY NEW WAVERS and it's very affordable. The Wild Swans were only intermittently active through the 1980s. The band's first split occurred very soon after their debut of 'Bringing Home The Ashes' and resulted in Kelly starting up The Lotus Eaters with co-founder Peter Coyle. Simpson followed suit with the Care project, teaming up with Ian Broudie. Space Flower was produced by Ian Broudie with participation of Chris Sharrock on drums and Ian McNabb on additional guitars and vocals of the Liverpool three piece.

THE ICICLE WORKS appeared as guest musicians. Broudie contributed on both guitars and organ to fill in the vacuum created by departed members Quinn and Kelly.

Simpson refers to this latter version of the band as simply, 'himself and a few friends'. I guess that's well said!! Just in case you still don't have a copy of this CD and you wanted to have one, I made the CD available for download for your listening pleasure. Most of you may have the original CD already and that's good because my blog still encourage you guys to buy the original materials. Paul Simpson released a material as THE WILD SWANS last 2006 with 'LIQUID MERCURY'. The Wild Swans will also release a new album this year 2011 entitled 'The Coldest Winter for a Hundred Years' which will be accompanied by a U.K. Tour and a probable concert here in MANILA.
