I had taken a break off this project recently as it had started to become rather onerous to wade through all these endless iterations of white dudes' rock from English speaking countries but this? This right here? Fuck yeah! I had no idea! And I really should have had an idea. On one last day before the summer holidays, when the history teacher rolled in the VHS unit for us to see a movie or something for that year's last lesson, Birte and Tanja produced a tape of Marillion at Lorely, the 1987 concert. So we watched that. And Thank you, Birte and Tanja! That had kicked off quite a bit of fandom. Now, I had been somewhat aware of Marillion being compared to or even accused of copying Gabriel era Genesis but only in the context of Grendel/Supper's Ready. But now I see! And it's wonderful. How have I not heard this before?? At #366, the easiest and most pleasantly interesting long album so far. Only one moment where my attention, interest and joy drifted off a bit (Counting Out Time) but other than that, Perfection. This is the good prog. 10 stars.
