»My Life« is the soundtrack of your life, which you didn’t know until here: Wildfire from Trinidad and Tobago released »Time Is the Answer« in 1980, an album whose sound, songwriting and production can easily keep up with the great records of the time. However, as it was only released in the band’s home country at the time, it hardly reached anyone beyond the country’s borders. At the same time, funk, soul and pop merged into a unity like few other bands – because Wildfire had their own rhythm despite everything. Their first band name: The Sparks.
Rare Hits
And in general: the whole album is permeated by a longing for life. »I’m tired of wasting my mind and time«, it says to guitar solo and melancholy in »My Life«, and who can’t understand this sentence today? »Time Is the Answer« was Wildfire’s last record. Unfortunately. Almost every track has hit potential.
For a long time, the LP of »Time Is the Answer« was considered a rare collector’s item – now the album is being reissued by Tidal Wave Music. Also in a Black Ice Colour Vinyl Edition limited to only 100 copies. Exclusively on HHV Records.
