Incommunicado

Incommunicado is a fast, anthemic rock song with dominant keyboards from Mark Kelly, whose solo Adam Wakeman later cited as an inspiration. Fish acknowledged a similarity to the Who. The line about residing in the where-are-they-now file refers to a scene in This Is Spinal Tap. The song describes the pitfalls of the music business, including pressure from Capitol Records.

Released on 11 May 1987, it reached six in Britain, the band's third top ten hit and their last until You're Gone in 2004. It was also a top 40 hit in Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and West Germany, and reached the US Album Rock Tracks chart. Chris Kimsey produced it and sang backing vocals. The B-side was Going Under. Mark Wilkinson's cover is a collage based on a colourised photograph of fans waiting outside the Marquee Club, with a single painted angel standing apart from the crowd.
