REMASTERED BY ROB COLWELL!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eFew artists in underground alternative rock have built a catalog as unpredictable, adventurous, and deeply personal as \u003cstrong\u003eMICHAEL KNOTT\u003c\/strong\u003e. With \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFluid\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, originally released on \u003cstrong\u003eAlarma Records\u003c\/strong\u003e with a 1995 copyright date, Knott delivered one of the most intriguing and distinctive albums of his extraordinary career. Alternately aggressive, melodic, unsettling, and beautiful, \u003cem\u003eFluid\u003c\/em\u003e refuses to fit comfortably into any single musical category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eThe story begins in the early 1990s, when Knott was enjoying considerable acclaim within the underground alternative music scene. His band \u003cstrong\u003eL.S. Underground\u003c\/strong\u003e had released the ambitious rock opera \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Grape Prophet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, while his first solo album, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eScreaming Brittle Siren\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, demonstrated his ability to pursue a different musical direction under his own name. Both recordings appeared in 1992, and both helped establish Knott as an unusually inventive songwriter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eBut the collapse of \u003cstrong\u003eBlonde Vinyl Records\u003c\/strong\u003e complicated his plans. Knott established Siren Records as a smaller successor label, and advertisements began appearing in 1993 for an ambitious new project. The music was recorded, but financial and distribution difficulties prevented its intended release. Knott continued recording other albums while \u003cem\u003eFluid\u003c\/em\u003e remained unavailable to fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eThe album was originally conceived under the title \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLiquid\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, reflecting Knott's fascination with music that possessed a flowing, atmospheric quality. Inspired in part by \u003cstrong\u003eEcho \u0026amp; the Bunnymen\u003c\/strong\u003e, he experimented with echo-delayed guitars, feedback, and layered arrangements. The title eventually became \u003cem\u003eFluid\u003c\/em\u003e, but the adventurous musical approach remained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eThe recording also brought together musicians who would become closely associated with Knott's work in \u003cstrong\u003eAunt Bettys\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eBrian Doidge\u003c\/strong\u003e supplied bass, while \u003cstrong\u003eChuck Cummings\u003c\/strong\u003e handled drums. Guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Carter\u003c\/strong\u003e contributed solos to \"Crash,\" \"Over,\" \"Stars,\" and \"The Sky.\" \u003cstrong\u003eBridget Alford\u003c\/strong\u003e contributed vocals to \"The Sky,\" which incorporated material from her original composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eBeneath the atmospheric guitars and muscular alternative rock arrangements lies something even more intriguing: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFluid\u003c\/em\u003e is a rock opera.\u003c\/strong\u003e Its songs tell the interconnected story of \u003cstrong\u003eJenny May\u003c\/strong\u003e, a troubled young woman whose destructive relationship and reckless actions lead to a devastating automobile crash. The resulting narrative moves between the accident scene, a hospital, memories of her past, and an imagined spiritual confrontation over her future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eThe opening \u003cstrong\u003e\"Crash\"\u003c\/strong\u003e introduces the stolen Cadillac and the accident that sets the story in motion. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Cool\"\u003c\/strong\u003e captures Jenny's desperate condition, while \u003cstrong\u003e\"Over\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\"Stars\"\u003c\/strong\u003e bring the spiritual conflict into sharper focus. The instrumental \u003cstrong\u003e\"Drive\"\u003c\/strong\u003e creates a moment of urgency before \u003cstrong\u003e\"Tonight\"\u003c\/strong\u003e reveals Jenny pleading for divine help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eThe narrative continues through \u003cstrong\u003e\"Away,\" \"Somewhere,\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\"Thru,\"\u003c\/strong\u003e exploring the reactions of those around Jenny and her struggle to confront the choices that brought her to this point. Finally, \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Sky\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Sky (Reprise)\"\u003c\/strong\u003e bring the story toward its dramatic conclusion. Knott even constructed the song titles so that, when read together, they suggest a sentence summarizing the album's journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eThe album's recording history is nearly as fascinating as its fictional story. Originally intended for release years earlier, \u003cem\u003eFluid\u003c\/em\u003e eventually appeared through Alarma Records with a 1995 copyright date, although contemporary reviews and distribution history suggest that copies may not have reached stores until 1996. The delay created an unusual situation in which Knott's musical development seemed to move backward for listeners unfamiliar with the album's actual recording chronology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eThe original release also included some unusual creative touches. Doug Doyle contributed additional production work involving \"The Sky\" and its reprise, and Knott later suggested that hidden messages had been incorporated into the recording. Meanwhile, Alarma Records promoted the album with an unusual \u003cstrong\u003e\"Get Well Prayer for You, Jenny May\"\u003c\/strong\u003e card tied to its central character. The card appeared in promotional materials but became difficult for collectors to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE 2026 RETROACTIVE RECORDS LEGENDS REMASTERED EDITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now this remarkable recording returns in a special \u003cstrong\u003eCD EDITION LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eREMASTERED BY ROB COLWELL\u003c\/strong\u003e, the album is presented in a traditional \u003cstrong\u003eJEWEL CASE WITH A 12-PAGE FULL-COLOR BOOKLET\u003c\/strong\u003e featuring lyrics, archival artwork, recording credits, and \u003cstrong\u003eOVER 1,300 WORDS OF NEW HISTORICAL LINER NOTES BY MATT CROSSLIN\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;\"\u003eCrosslin's extensive essay traces the collapse of Blonde Vinyl Records, the formation of Siren Records, the original \u003cem\u003eLiquid\u003c\/em\u003e concept, the album's recording and delayed release, and the remarkable story behind Jenny May.
