Pronounced Normal (1981) 

Track Listing - Liner Notes - Fan Reviews - Lyrics


Pronounced Normal was Fischer's first collaboration with the production duo of Barnes & Barnes (aka Bill Mumy and Robert Haimer), who also supplied backing music and wrote or co-wrote several of the songs on the album.

The album has a more structured feel than Wildmania, which is largely attributable to the contributions of Mumy & Haimer, who would prove to be the ideal producers for Larry.
