REVIEWS OF THE 2ND SKAFISH ALBUM
“CONVERSATION”

“The album starts out like a house afire; “Secret Lover” is eminently danceable, sporting a pulsating synthesizer but avoiding the usual mundane frigidity associated with that sound.”

 - Mark From - Tracks on Wax

“A promising group that utilizes synthesizer without losing their humanity in a swirling, pulsating dance mix. “Wild Night” is like Lou reed before the marriage.”

- Rock to Ragtime

“Wild Night Tonight” is an all out rocker with echoes of a Springsteen paeon to the urban lower middle class.”

- Rich Zweiback - Boston Phoenix

“Conversation makes for superb listening from beginning to end. .... ‘Ol hook nose’s second LP is a true beauty....”

 - Alvin Eng - The Long Island Ear

“Skafish lunges off in a different direction on the disappointing Conversation, which starts with “Secret Lover,” a mundane disco track notable only for his voice’s jarring unsuitably to the genre.  With the exception of two loud rockers and a few blandouts, the rest of the record follows stylistic suit.  Worse, the lyrics aren’t even very interesting.”

- Ira Robbins - Trouser Press
