VISIONS OF EXCESS. A brilliant neo-pop album of tuneful, lyrical songs. According to The New Trouser Press Record Guide (third edition). I don’t agree. But I must be in error, since TP simply doesn’t make mistakes of this magnitude.
Visions Of Excess (1985) perfected the idea, abstracting the very notion of rock'n'roll hedonism and transposing it into a sort of robotic theatre (with Fier in the role of the puppeteer).
John Anton Fier III (June 20, 1956 – September 14, 2022) was an American drummer, producer, composer, and bandleader. He led The Golden Palominos, an experimental rock group active from the 1980s to 2010.
The Palominos' next album, 1985's Visions of Excess, sounded vastly different. Of the band members that were on the first album, only Fier, Laswell and Arto Lindsay remained. Visions of Excess also marked the debut of singer Syd Straw, whose songwriting and vocals were featured prominently, as well as on the group's next album.
