Really pleased it’s still hitting the spot
Some suggested homework then Alex, have a go at Estonia from This Strange Engine and Ocean Cloud and Neverland from Marbles. I think you might like those too, no money back though!
I just looked at my Marillion collection . . . I have 35 albums.
Some people have no idea what they're doing and a lot of them are really good at it.

Yes that it's it. I can't explain why it's the only one I like especially since I really like it. Mind you they have no doubt done 20 albums since then that I never heard. I lived in a shared house and one bloke was a mad Marillion fan and had everything they'd done to that point, but that was 1991 so that's where my exposure to them stops really.
I always meant to get 'Script' but never got round to it. I recall that being pretty good.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > Troels Gravesen Faital 3WC-15.
Yeah CaS is probably the one to have if you only have one Marillion album and you like the Fish era. They are a very different band now though, but still relatively under the radar.
Their studio album list is only about 20 albums, but once you join the Marillion clan and get into buying via Racket Records, it quickly grows. They have a loyalty points system too, which is actually very good for their fans, as well as the band. Their following is extremely loyal.
