Temporary Secretary

McCartney does eight lines of coke, discovers an arpeggiator, makes this song:

I can't get it out of my head. Check out the album "McCartney II," or rather "The Lost McCartney II Album" for lots of electronic wanking

God damn you , gron . Now I have to buy more music .

This is some really , really sick shit . How did this go over my head ?

Temporary Secretary is a fun track. There are only a few tracks like this on McCartney II but it's worth the purchase.

I used to also listen to his experimental ambient/drone album "Rushes" under his pseudonym "The Fireman" every night to go to sleep to. Listening now it sounds just a tad dated but from start to finish it's a fantastic piece.

I recommend checking out each track on YouTube as they all have a different flavor, even though each one is like a movement in an overall piece.

From a reviewer on YouTube. Gives a good idea of what to expect if too lazy to listen.

"Rushes" is the second album which Paul McCartney released under the pseudonym of The Fireman. Like the first Fireman album, "Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest", it is a collaboration between McCartney and the producer known as Youth. Unlike that album, the style and flow is more varied and has more of an ambient etherial quality to it.

 

The opening track "Watercolour Guitars" has a very Pink Floyd/"Shine On" feel to it especially in the guitars and spacey electronics. The guitar riff continues on into the next track "Palo Verde" in which a bass pulse emerges along with spoken words from Linda McCartney (her last appearance on one of Paul's albums) as well a subdued rhythm, ambient chords and treated vocals from Paul.

 

"Auraveda" is a very psychedelic piece which sounds like an outtake from "Magical Mystery Tour" at first. Sounds of handdrums, sitar, harmonium, mellotron and string bass create an acid-soaked collage during the opening half of the piece. Then it suddenly shifts into floating waves of hypnotic synth chords with light percussion. The second half of this piece is similar to ambient artists such as Steve Roach.

 

"Fluid" is a moody simplitic piece which reminded me somewhat of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" especially with its haunting piano lines and repeated guitar phrasings. "Appletree Cinnabar Amber" carries on "Fluid's" guitar line to the next level. Here, Paul adds his steady drumbeat and beefs up the instrumentation. At times, there are hints of "Momma Miss America" from Paul's first solo album.

 

"Bision" is a short, off-the-cuff piece which again features Paul on drums as well as a distorted bass line and discordant random melodies. This leads into "7AM" which is a continuation of "Auraveda" with a more prominent bass-synth sequence and bits of strings played on the mellotron. The whole album comes full circle with the short coda "Watercolour Rush", a reprise of the guitar line from the album's opening track.

 

Like his previous Fireman album, there is no information on the CD cover apart from the song titles. However, there is a photo of Paul's backside with the word "Man" written across it in suntan lotion. This is another fine piece of work from Paul McCartney and once again shows off his willingness to create music that is a departure-from-the-norm. This is also another sought-after collector's item. If you're a Paul fan, this is definitely a must-have.

wow, paul mcartney and youth...thanks, I'll have to try and get my hands on this...

One of my bandmates always used to play it in her DJ sets and I fell for it every time. I'd go over and ask "What *is* THIS?!?!??!" and she'd hold up the sleeve and go "HA HA IT'S MACCA YOU JUST GOT PWND"
