Fire & Water, a collaboration between J. J. Burnel and Dave Greenfield of The Stranglers, is the soundtrack for the film Ecoutez Vos Murs directed by Vincent Coudanne. It does appear that this film was never released.

The album was released in 1983 on the Epic record label (Catalogue number EPC 25707). The track "Rain & Dole & Tea" features Maggie Reilly, best known for her collaboration with the composer Mike Oldfield, on vocals, which in a remixed form was released as a single.

Fire & Water was reissued on CD in April 2008 (Edsel Records EDSS 1020). This features the remix of "Rain and Dole and Tea" (see below).

The album spent one week at number 94 in the UK Albums Chart.
