Album of the Day

Vigil In a Wilderness of Mirrors, by Fish (1990): This was Fish's first album after leaving Marillion to "go solo in game." Many people believe it's his best. It certainly contains a lot of what became Fish fan favorites - "Vigil," "The Company," and "Family Business." There's also Fish's equivalent of Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill," a swipe at his old band mates, "View From the Hill." Of course, given Fish's contentious split from Marillion, it's not surprising that the vitriol extended to some unflattering album artwork, too (not so artfully excised from future pressings!).
