They’re a snobby bunch! Prog has always suffered badly when judged by the “mainstream” music press. You won’t see a review of any Marillion record in Uncut, Q Magazine or Mojo.

A far cry from Friday’s everything-bar-the-kitchen-sink early 70’s psycho-soup, this is sparse and demanding of concentration. These are the records I really treasure the most.

Bought this chunk of vinyl from Grant Smithies new “Family Jewels” record shop this very day. Hopefully, this record shop will fill the big void for us Nelsonians wanting a decent vinyl supply.

I hummed and ha’d about getting this on vinyl and relented today when it finally made an appearance at TWH. I’m glad I did - it’s a fucking monster of a record that deserves the uncompressed, unrestrained bandwidth of analogue.

This record is just an embarrassment of riches. I really had forgotten just how brilliant this album is. Not a wasted note from start to finish and at over 70 minutes in length, that’s a big ask.
