The Fireman

The Fireman - Electric Arguments

You'd think with the celebrity status of someone like Paul McCartney it would be more difficult to produce music without attracting the attention of every music writer on the planet. And yet, Sir Paul himself has apparently been collaborating on ambient/club/synth music with someone called Youth since 1993. They call themselves The Fireman. From allmusic.com:
What would seem to be one of the oddest examples of electronica crossover was the Fireman, an ambient project concerning producer and occasional Orb-collaborator Youth plus the dean of British rock, Sir Paul McCartney. In truth however, McCartney had been involved in London's electronic and avant/garde music scene during the mid-'60s — he even prepared the tape loops and effects for the Beatles' famed "Tomorrow Never Knows," probably the most famous use of musique concrète in history.


Here's one of the tracks I can recommend to people with ears. It's "hard" and supposedly about Heather Mills.
