Internal Exile (Fish album)

Internal Exile ("A Collection of a Boy's Own Stories") is Fish's second solo album after leaving Marillion in 1988. The album, released 28 October 1991, was inspired by the singer's past, his own personal problems and his troubled experiences with his previous record label EMI.

The album's music reflects Fish's indulgence in the vast regions of music that he wanted to explore as a solo artist; most notably Celtic music and folk styles. The album also has many concert staples such as "Credo", "Tongues" and "Internal Exile" featuring on a number of Fish's official bootleg recordings.

As on Vigil, Fish deals with themes important to him. The song "Internal Exile" speaks of his strong national pride and his desire for independence for Scotland. "Credo" is another song dealing with social problems and globalisation, echoing "State of Mind", his first solo single.

The album was produced by Chris Kimsey, and dedicated to Fish's daughter Tara.

A remastered version was released by Roadrunner Records on 26 October 1998.

In 2024, a deluxe edition of Internal Exile was released on Chocolate Frog Records as a 3CD digibook, a 4CD/Blu-ray set, and a 2LP boxed version. The deluxe edition includes a new remix and remaster by Calum Malcolm, (with the two additional tracks properly inserted into the album as intended) as well as, on the Blu-ray disc, new Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround mixes by Avril Mackintosh and Andy Bradfield, documentaries and promotional videos. The set also includes a disc of album demos, 2 discs of live material at various venues from previously released live albums.
