I've seen posters for almost every one of their albums.  I have the
ones from Season's End and one with the Jester's face and a caption
saying, "Market Square Heroes".
 SI> Marillion: _Fugazi_. Nice music, but not as good as _Script_. The lyrics

I really enjoy Fugazi - especially Emerald Lies, Fugazi and Jigsaw. I
find She Chameleon really drags if you're not in the mood for it. :)
 SI> Checking the dates, I noticed that _Script_, _Fugazi_ and _MC_ are in

 SI> sounds like it's a definite ending of a story. And the _Straws_ cover is
 SI> not in the same style.
Yes... but look at the guy standing at the bar.. see the Jester's cap
in his coat pocket? ;)
Now going through head: Hotel Hobbies - Marillion
Peace,
Clarke
