Gone all Zappa now.

"Just when you thought Marillion had taken us to the very limit along comes this schizo-progressive anachronism wherein the Cardiacs have telescoped the entire dreggs of the early seventies into one album so geriatric, by comparison that the next Blue Öyster Cult will sound as fresh as Viva Hate.

Marrillion had gone all 80s Genesis by the time this came out. Which should put the date this came out into perspective, too much perspective.

We seem to be doing the "1995 Alphabet Business Concern reissue".

I wonder if the people who'd grown up ( shifty

It seems that this is the 1995 reissue we're listening to.

Is This The Life is the most radio friendly song.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Sep 07, 2022 7:16 pm

I think I've heard this one somewhere before.

by Nightjar Wed Sep 07, 2022 7:16 pm

This was a 'hit' apparently.

by Butterfield Wed Sep 07, 2022 7:17 pm

I think this just missed the Top 75 - their highest ever chart placing.
