Sorry just watching this on Youtube. How good is this record? The video aint none too shabby either!! Bit before my time,but were Marillion any good?

And just read Fish the lucky so and so married the girl in the video....she was beautifull!!

Not my cup of tea, but I will say this for them. They made it on the strength of the music. I don't recall there being a big marketing push from the record company, and although there was a relatively big spend on videos (eg Garden Party) I don't think this was integral to their success. Other people may have a more informed view on that, but I say 'fair play' to them, even if they don't do much for me musically.

Yeah, Misplaced Childhood was a very good album and worth hunting for. Kayleigh is superb though. Seems to have spawned a load of 18 ish year olds named after it.

Hey Warren!!

Thanx!! Have seen Fish interviewed a few times and all ways thought that he seemed like a real nice bloke,ya know the kind that would chat in a lift. Glad to know he really is. Just need confirmation now that Alice Cooper and meat loaf are as nice as they seem and i can forget some of the prats rock misic has given us!!

Excellent wiki. page:

Their successful internet campaign had many a music exec. interested in how a band can operate these days, apparently.
