Destination Paradise was the sixth studio album by Fischer-Z. The album saw a change of record label, and another completely different line-up, still with John Watts as the original member. The album featured several lyrics of John Watt's acute observations of political events. Following the release of the album, Watts as usual, toured and promoted the album extensively, which reportedly helped to garner a new generation of fans, and Destination Paradise has been regarded as a "dynamic and cinematic" album.
~ Wiki
Re-jigging the lineup again, Watts came up with the finest album of his career. This acoustic-based album was so full of passion and emotion that it leaves the listener in awe after the first listen. "So Hard," "Will You Be There?," "Saturday Night" and "Mockingbird Again" were uplifting and melodic, while "Further From Love," "Of All The" and "Still In Flames" were touching and beautiful. Watts' vocals were warm and embracing, not unlike Pete Townshend on a good day, and the arrangements complemented the well-crafted songs. For the first time, there was not a weak track on the album. A major triumph.
