Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish is the second studio album by Colin Newman, lead singer of post-punk band Wire.

Newman took inspiration in part from the experimental work of Newman's Wire bandmates Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis as Dome, and from Brian Eno's ambient work.

It marked a break from his partnership with producer Mike Thorne over disagreements about pursuing a more commercial, chart-friendly sound.

[2] Record label 4AD reissued both Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish and Newman's third solo album, Not To, as a single disc in 1988.

[1] Richard Cook of the British music magazine NME called the album, along with Newman's previous work A-Z, "erratic and needlessly fussy affairs that creak under pretensions to alchemy when studio pottering is nearer the mark.
