I think my sister bought Script and that was my first exposure to Marillion. She's a little younger than me, but was more into music back then. This is the only one of their records I bought.

Market Square Heroes

Grendel occupies one side of this 12". I have not listened to it in a while, but may put it on later.

Track list

As I've mentioned to you I saw them live on the Misplaced Childhood tour. I think it was at the NEC and we were at the back of the hall.

Someone I used to work with met Fish when he played at her Uni and she ended up help him look at some local properties as he was looking to move.

Have you seen this old documentary about their road crew?

No, but after watching it... I would not want to be a road crew man, too much hard work!

Your sister has great taste, it seems she was your trigger for the band. Now what made you pick up that 12', flip it and play the 'B' side. I never did when I bought singles?

I was a nerdy teen getting into prog. Of course I was going to listen to a long song! 😁

After listening to Fugazi around 8 times, its sinking in and I am getting it. Love the folky style influence at the end, another throwback to early Genesis and Gabriel.. and yet totally different.

When I first heard Big Big Train I immediately thought of Genesis and they even had the flute. I'm reading a biography of King Crimson. So much pioneering music came out of the UK around 1970.

You know I did try 'English Electric', but again it didnt have much effect. Only the amazing 'The Underfall Yard' has hit me, and I have had to stop playing this as don't want to overplay it.

The above account is under a Writ of Excommunication. They remain unrepentant despite numerous warnings against their sins of spam, bearing false witness, and misuse of artificial intelligence. They have refused wise counsel and instruction to better behavior. They plead ignorance to the cause of their falling reputation, and ask questions about downvotes which have been answered on innumerable occasions already.
