Richard Lloyd
Field Of Fire
(Moving Target, 1986; reissue on Reaction, 2008)
Television’s high-end reissues lost classic and re-records tracks.
Blackballed by the New York scene after Television’s demise cued a terrible junk spiral, Richard Lloyd cut Field Of Fire in rural Sweden, and while the production is fashionably boomy and his singing gruff at best, there’s something not to be denied about Soldier Blue or Watch Yourself, stirring trad rockers that make Tom Verlaine’s solo efforts sound overly academic. Meanwhile, you’re never too far from a rapier insertion of Lloyd’s Strat, the author of Television’s thrilling high-wire excursions and on especially astral form on the Marquee Moon-esque title track and poignant Pleading. Disc 2 is Lloyd’s contemporary version, a fix rather than a complete re-recording and an attempt to remove gloss rather than pile it on. It is a forgivable indulgence, but in truth the best aspects of Field Of Fire – its passion, jeopardy and guitar solos – have dated not a jot.
