Hello All.
On a CD-hunting trip through my hometown Antwerp I bought these CD's:
Marillion: _Script for a Jester's Tear_. This is a really fantastic album. 
Almost as good as _Misplaced Childhood_, if not even better. /He Knows You 
Know/ is the best song, and typically Fish-Marillion. And the cover is also 
very important. Unfortunately, it is too detailed for CD-size, you have to 
peek through a magnifying glass to read the words 'Yesterday, all my troubles 
seemed so far away, ...' Are these covers available as posters?
Marillion: _Fugazi_. Nice music, but not as good as _Script_. The lyrics are 
great, the music is nice, but they don't really work together. And the music 
is not balanced enough. The album is not really one organism, like _MC_ or 
_Script_.
Both these albums are far better than the new marillion I've bought (Brave) 
and the Fish solo I've heard (Internal Exile). Are great Progrock bands 
destined for this kind of downfall?
Checking the dates, I noticed that _Script_, _Fugazi_ and _MC_ are in fact a 
trilogy: 1983-84-85. The story is also more or less coherent. Is _Clutching 
at Straws_ (1987) the sequel to these? _Misplaced Childhood_ sounds like it's 
a definite ending of a story. And the _Straws_ cover is not in the same 
yle.
CU Later,
