Down to the Sea in Ships (album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Down to the Sea in Ships is a Robert Wegmann album. It was released in 1989 as the follow-up to Poisoned Paradise. Down to the sea in ships was a breakthrough release for wegmann establishing him as a competent singer/songwriter in his own right. Down to the sea in Ships is a curious pastiche of many inluences, most notably the Beatles, The Beach Boys and oddly enough XTC. Ships charted quite well in the American college and independent radio market and began to find its way into the European and Japaneese market. Unfortunatly Wegmann has never seemed to duplicate the success of Down to the sea in Ships in subsequent releases.
