[kj] OT Marillion - was "ESS" single artwork:

[Alexander Smith]

"the post-Fish material is its own thing and a far more mature and  
considered animal "

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

To my ears, post-Fish Marillion sounded a bit like like fucking Train

and flyover state residents). God may forgive them, but I fucking  
shan't.

Bleeecchh!

Alex in NYC
