Red Skies over Paradise from 1981 is the third studio album by British New Wave
group Fischer-Z. The theme of many songs is the Cold War threatening to
escalate to World War III - a real threat that was on many people's
minds in those years (and unfortunately once again at the moment). The outstanding title track about a nuclear attack
on London, and songs like Battalions of Strangers, Berlin, and Cruise Missiles, are some of the striking examples. Other songs worth mentioning are the hit single Marliese, a creepy but great stalking song, and Song And Dance Brigade. For me this album is the highlight of their career, and one of the best albums of the decade.
