BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984
“Fire Island” is a single released in 1984 by Scottish synth-pop band Secession.
The original demo of “Fire Island” (based around two sequences programmed on a Yamaha DX7) at Planet Studios in Edinburgh, which subsequently came to the attention of the Beggars Banquet Records A&R department.
After being signed by Beggars Banquet, the band re-recorded “Fire Island” at REL Studios in Edinburgh, later remixed by the production team associated with Freeez and John Rocca. The single failed to chart.
