Fish Rising is the debut solo album by English progressive rock musician Steve Hillage, released by Virgin Records in April 1975. It was recorded just prior to Hillage's departure from the band Gong.
Two of the compositions for the album, "Solar Musick Suite" and "Salmon Song", were among those considered back in 1972 for a second Khan release; both were in an incomplete state but now expanded and finished for the new solo project. "Aftaglid" was a newer composition written while a member of Gong.
Recording began in September 1974 at The Manor Studio in Oxfordshire where You had been recorded that summer, using a band comprising all the members of Gong except Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth: Bassist Mike Howlett, drummer Pierre Moerlen, synthesizer player Tim Blake, saxophonist Didier Malherbe and keyboardist and vocalist Miquette Giraudy. Two guest musicians also appeared: bassoonist Lindsay Cooper of Henry Cow and Hillage's former Khan bandmate Dave Stewart, a keyboardist who was currently in Hatfield and the North. Recording paused that fall as Gong began a mammoth tour for You, then finished in January 1975 at the Manor Mobile before the group continued the tour.
