I have been exploring P McC's solo material over the last few years. And now I come across this genius electronica. I am very annoyed as it appears there is nothing musically that this man cannot do. I know he was the main man during the mid-60s listening to Cage, Stockhausen etc. while the other Beatles were getting stoned in their gardens etc.. But if you know anything about electronica and ambient music you will recognise that Rushes is a very quality offering in its own right. I've yet to explore PM's classical stuff - I hope there are serious problems with it.

If "strawberries," the Fireman's last outing, left you cold with its repetitive variations on a techno theme, but you're still hungry for more McCartney (after "Run Devil Run", of course), you might consider giving "Rushes" a try. The title is a great Beatles pun ("The fireman rushes in..."); the music a gorgeous collage of sound: guitars, sitars, synths, meshed with samples of Paul and Linda, horses galloping, a woman in the throes of passion, each track flowing seemlessly into the next. Released after Linda's death, one wonders (especially with repeated listenings) if McCartney hadn't intended "Rushes" to be a tribute to her. While the influence of Youth (a.k.a Martin Glover, former Killing Joke bassist) is well in evidence, "Rushes" feels more of a collaborative effort. This is one of my favourite albums to write to (and it's not bad for making love to, either). Incidentally, the nude woman you'll find on the tray insert under the CD is Julie Lewis, photographed in the 70's by Pin-Up Queen Bunny Yeager.

There's not a lot to say really. McCartney was always the most avant garde of the Beatles - something revisionists will only acknowledge after his death (hopefully a long time off). This CD gives a taste of the sort of thing he would produce if he could get away with it. If, like me, you think the best McCartney is on the B sides to the hits, and hidden away on the albums rather than on the singles, then you'll know what I mean. But if you're opinion of McCartney needs raising, this is the album to do it.

Quality from The Master of Pop
This album blew me away when I first heard it - back then I didn't know if it was McCartney or not, it only seemed to be a rumour! Read more
