This is my Fathers music but i cannot express just how much being exposed to music such as this has effected and influenced myself, not just in music but in life itself... I cannot thank my Father enough.
You are a jerk Mike...this is powerful music that is influential and meaningful..I'm 72 and it still makes me marvel at the greatness of the song and the band and the lyrics.
I bought this album back in 1984 at the age of 17 and played it almost non-stop. My son who is 19 now listens to this album as well and loves it. Just goes to show that Marillion and Fish are timeless.
Masterpiece!...Real poetry and a pure dramatist...meant in the best way. The colour and shade of the band around his lyrics is spot on . I'm rediscovering them again at nearly fifty years old..The words carry a totally different weight now the bravado is gone. The whole album is amazing and horrific ...wow, they said it was a normal cigarette , bastards !
+ChessTauren Yeah, that's what always mainly grabbed me, as far as any notable aspects of the Marillion catalogue. Any idea why this album is so often dismissed unlike the rest, when this album clearly featured this aspect you're talking about the most? I don't get it. Even the chords and melodies seem way more interesting than the its consecutive albums.
@@Cr8Tron This is regarded as the "difficult" second album, which a lot of bands have. I think it's also held in lower regard because Fish's lyrics are at their most wordy and pretentious on this album. Even Fish has criticized his own lyrics on parts of this album. The album also sold fewer copies than Script, although it charted higher initially, it didn't stick around in the chart for as long. So it's basically sandwiched between Marillion's two biggest albums, Script and Misplaced, which both went platinum. I think that's probably why it's "so often dismissed" as you say.
@@MALONEYCAMFIELD Also the Artwork just doesn't seem quite right to me. I can't put my finger on it, but there is just something annoying about this picture. I like Script, Misplaced and Clutching much more. Wilkinsons best work has to be Fish's first solo LP though.
I saw Marillion live at the Odeon, Birmingham, UK on the Fugazi tour and after the part where Fish sings "You who wiped me from your memory like a greasepaint mask, just like a greasepaint mask", he wiped his make-up off his face and threw the towel into the crowd. I was lucky enough to catch it and I still have it to this day.

The combination of Fish's lyrics backed with Marillions music created this Magic. Such a lucky combination of artistic unique brilliance, and for a brief period in time. brilliance doesn't last, this was lucky.
In all my long years of buying all kinds of fantastic music this album totally grabs me and brings out the emotions in me like no other. A true masterpeice that has lyrical genius and melody and instrument orientationxx
I truly love Marillion with Fish and if there is one song that both encapsulates this era and also shows the strength of a band at its peak its got to be this one. Everything is perfect.
"...and the performance has just begun" An 8:27 masterpiece with haunting lyrics, and a final three minutes that holds nothing but highlights of spine-tingling intensity. Some of Rothery's best work as well. And the finality to the ending, ending in triumph. I want to conquer the world with the final beat.

Had no idea. That's interesting, considering how many debates I've gotten into about whether this album was up to par with its consecutives. Had I known that beforehand, I definitely would've made a point of it. Thanks for confirming that the insanity lies in the majority of Fugazi-critics, rather than myself.
@@Cr8Tron Fish said this was his favourite song, not that Fugazi was his favourite album. Clutching at Straws was his favourite album. He was actually critical of some of his own writing on Fugazi later on.
@@MALONEYCAMFIELD Yeah.... Well... It's MY favorite. Don't tell anybody I said this (here where everybody can read everything I say anyway), but I sometimes gotta wonder about the choices artists make on which of their works to be hypercritical about, vs. favoring. Most of the criticisms, that I keep hearing about Fugazi, always seem to be because of people's disappointments that it didn't have a happy-ending to accommodate their starry-eyed expectations, or that it didn't meet the pretentious standards of being "cohesive" enough. Yadda yadda... The bottom line: Which Marillion album makes you the most convinced that its protagonist wants to commit suicide? I imagine that that's the most primal concept, as for what everyone can agree each of Marillion's first four records revolved around. I don't understand how anyone can argue that Fugazi definitely offered the most attitude/integrity there...? Also, as a side-note: With a trained ear, I can easily say that Fugazi had the most exotic-sounding chord cadences of them all. You'd think that that would be a big plus with the prog community...but, lately, I'm starting to wonder about how in-tune this crowd of listeners is with such subtleties, to be brutally honest. 😬
@@Cr8Tron I was merely clarifying what Fish actually said. Incubus was his favourite song that he recorded with the band, but Fugazi was not his favourite album. I read his sleeve notes on the remaster version and he was quite critical of the album, including his own contribution to it. And there were obviously a lot of problems in the year leading up to making the album.
Same here. Now its genius is almost unrivaled. This entire record is the one to re-discover 35 years later because it's so incredibly layered and hits so many parts of the cerebellum.
Such a great song from Fishs edgy anguished vocals to that gorgeous solo from Steve he like Alex Lifeson never wastes a throwaway solo and puts so much emotion into it
"Incubus" When footlights dim in reverence to prescient passion forewarned My audience leaves the stage, floating ahead perfumed shift Within the stammering silence, the face that launched a thousand frames Betrayed by a porcelain tear, a stained career You played this scene before, you played this scene before I the mote in your eye, I the mote in your eye A misplaced reaction The darkroom unleashes imagination in pornographic images In which you will always be the star, always be the star, untouchable Unapproachable, constant in the darkness Nursing an erection, a misplaced reaction With no flower to place before this gravestone And the walls become enticingly newspaper thin But that would be developing the negative view And you have to be exposed in voyeuristic colour The public act, let you model your shame On the mannequin catwalk, catwalk Let the cats walk, and the cat walks I've played this scene before, I've played this scene before I the mote in your eye, I the mote in your eye A misplaced reaction, satisfaction You can't brush me under the carpet, you can't hide me under the stairs The custodian of your private fears, your leading actor of yesteryear Who as you crawled out of the alleys of obscurity Sentenced to rejection in the morass of anonymity You who I directed with lovers will, you who I let hypnotise the lens You who I let bathe in the spotlights glare You who wiped me from your memory like a greasepaint mask Just like a greasepaint mask But now I'm the snake in the grass, the ghost of film reels past I'm the producer of your nightmare and the performance has just begun It's just begun Your perimeter of courtiers jerk like celluloid puppets As you stutter paralysed with rabbits eyes, searing the shadows Flooding the wings, to pluck elusive salvation from the understudy's lips Retrieve the soliloquy, maintain the obituary My cue line in the last act and you wait in silent solitude Waiting for the prompt, waiting for the prompt You've played this scene before
One of my favourite Marillion songs. The music, the vocals and the wonderful guitar solo. I'm making my own music now and sometimes you can hear influences of Marillion, but my music is instrumental.
And God created the absolute beauty (5:24) and his son was silently crying upon this unique piece of eternity... There is Mozart, there is Beethoven and there is Fish-Rothery-Kelly ! Merci, merci beaucoup.
Forever end ever......!!!! Insieme ai Floyd e ai mostri sacri dell'epoca......i Marillion sono stati la colonna portante della mia giovinezza. Spero che qualche pischello di adesso,possa poter rivivere la magia di quei tempi.....ma ne dubito molto !!!! Cmq,grazie Fish e company,per me siete già leggenda !!!!
zaraziłem sie ta grupa sluchajac kaset magnetofonowych moich starszych siostr mialem wtedy moze z 10 lat i uwielbiam do dzis ......jak dla mnie mega luta
One of their very best with a great solo. Setlist.fm tells me that i saw the last live performance of this in Birmingham in 1987. Didn't see them again until Fear tour almost 30 years later!
Bo dobra muzyka trwa wiecznie , a solówki Rothery wywołują u mnie do tej pory gęsią skórkę , no i przypominają beztroskie szkolne lata . Jakże brakuje tych czasów , gdzie taka '" muza " leciała z radia , i wieczorami człek chłonął ją całym sobą . Tak to było ................. oj wspaniałe wspomnienia
Dokładnie YaroSz dokładnie , szkoda tylko że dzisiejsza młodzież została z tej przyjemności wspominania okrojona , a to za sprawą miernoty stacji radiowych i nadawanej tam komercyjnej sieczki . Cóż syndrom dzisiejszych czasów !!!!!!
mar bro ...ech smartfon, narkotyk XXI wieku niszczy tak wiele, że nawet jak ludzie spotykają się fizycznie, to każdy i tak jest gdzieś w swoim wirtualnym świecie.

Można zastosować takie uproszczenie: sam smartfon jak i sam narkotyk nie jest powiedzmy niczym złym. Natomiast nieodpowiedzialne używanie, jak i zażywanie narkotyków do zasługujących na pochwały na pewno nie należą. A mogę podpowiedzieć radio (jest w sieci i normalnie na ogólnopolskim FM) które grywa taka i podobna muzę, choć często i ich play lista jest zbyt ograniczona, monotonna i z bardziej współczesną muzą.
I'm a pretentious indie boy and I love early marillion with fish. My favourite guilty pleasure. This is one of my faves and I also love it from 4.00 onwards.
This is my Fathers music but i cannot express just how much being exposed to music such as this has effected and influenced myself, not just in music but in life itself... I cannot thank my Father enough.

From 3:57 to the end. This is to me the best Marillion piece of music they've ever done.
The guitar solo is soooo good
I agree, but it has stiff competition.
I always thought the same too.. amazing
yes so tearing
Yesssss❤️
Rotherys’ solo in this song is awesome.
One of his best!
As usual
So good I keep scrolling back to 5:26
Possibly one of the most complex songs made by Marillion with Fish. Love the dark atmosphere in Fugazi. Great, Great!!!
Maybe the best Marillion song ever…..I don’t know……I just love them……forever!!!!
Ian Moseley just gave a whole new dimension to their music
Marillion is a real rock legend. Their music never gets old.

It can't get much better than this ..Marllion at their finest
When I was young and maybe seven years old I heard marillion for the first time. He is thirty-eight now and I still have him in my heart.
The good old days of Marillion, brilliant artwork on album covers, fish on vocals & the original Marillion logo!
The best of the best, a pure combination.
Total masterpiece
so fz underrated, marillion is one the greatest progresive rock bands along with king crimson, camel, etc.. deserve more attention
Listened to this at 28 ... Listening to this now at 48 ..... I rest my case.
Listened this when being 17.. Listening to this now at 49
17, now 48, still goosebumps
Im listening now being 23 years old and im sure when im in my 40's ill be still listening to this.
Pornographic images in which you will always be the star??
Now 43
This is the masterpiece of Marillion.
What a track, what a lead singer, what a guitar solo @ 5:26.
What. A. Band.
It can’t be overstated how good they were.
This at one time was one of my not so great Marillion songs but now it is my favourite....
Exactly. This hits you when the moment is most unexpected.
It's a song to listen, when your neighbours are not at home. It's a voice of devil, but we all have some devil inside;)

"Incubus"
When footlights dim in reverence to prescient passion forewarned
My audience leaves the stage, floating ahead perfumed shift
Within the stammering silence, the face that launched a thousand frames
Betrayed by a porcelain tear, a stained career
You played this scene before, you played this scene before
I the mote in your eye, I the mote in your eye
A misplaced reaction
The darkroom unleashes imagination in pornographic images
In which you will always be the star, always be the star, untouchable
Unapproachable, constant in the darkness
Nursing an erection, a misplaced reaction
With no flower to place before this gravestone
And the walls become enticingly newspaper thin
But that would be developing the negative view
And you have to be exposed in voyeuristic colour
The public act, let you model your shame
On the mannequin catwalk, catwalk
Let the cats walk, and the cat walks
I've played this scene before, I've played this scene before
I the mote in your eye, I the mote in your eye
A misplaced reaction, satisfaction
You can't brush me under the carpet, you can't hide me under the stairs
The custodian of your private fears, your leading actor of yesteryear
Who as you crawled out of the alleys of obscurity
Sentenced to rejection in the morass of anonymity
You who I directed with lovers will, you who I let hypnotise the lens
You who I let bathe in the spotlights glare
You who wiped me from your memory like a greasepaint mask
Just like a greasepaint mask
But now I'm the snake in the grass, the ghost of film reels past
I'm the producer of your nightmare and the performance has just begun
It's just begun
Your perimeter of courtiers jerk like celluloid puppets
As you stutter paralysed with rabbits eyes, searing the shadows
Flooding the wings, to pluck elusive salvation from the understudy's lips
Retrieve the soliloquy, maintain the obituary
My cue line in the last act and you wait in silent solitude
Waiting for the prompt, waiting for the prompt
You've played this scene before
Must have been a daunting, yet delightsome task.

True Marillion classic stuff you can drift back to a time and place long gone away from this shit standard of life we are subjected to now.
So fuckin true! Some of the shit music the media throws out today makes you despair.This is proper music with proper lyrics.👍
Best song ever......Brilliant.
Forever end ever......!!!! Insieme ai Floyd e ai mostri sacri dell'epoca......i Marillion sono stati la colonna portante della mia giovinezza. Spero che qualche pischello di adesso,possa poter rivivere la magia di quei tempi.....ma ne dubito molto !!!! Cmq,grazie Fish e company,per me siete già leggenda !!!!
Missed this band in the 80s. Just discovered them this week. Like them.
glad you like them ! better late than never :-)
zaraziłem sie ta grupa sluchajac kaset magnetofonowych moich starszych siostr mialem wtedy moze z 10 lat i uwielbiam do dzis ......jak dla mnie mega luta
UUUUUUU-Ah! UUUUUUU-Ah! What kind of a genious could possibly start a song like that? Simply brilliant!
Thx dear Marillion (Fish) for your Inspiration Music Time
Great Wonderful 😎🎸
PHOENIX Time 🎸 🎸 👍
THIS IS PROG!
Just brilliant; theatrical poetry at its very best !
testing the music of time......30+ years still hits me fantastic
I love the guitar solo in this song
Sublimely insane!
One of their very best with a great solo. Setlist.fm tells me that i saw the last live performance of this in Birmingham in 1987. Didn't see them again until Fear tour almost 30 years later!
Awesome track Awesome album Awesome band
The lead break in this gives me chills Everytime ,why don't they sound like this anymore
Because they lack the skill and oral poetry of fish and the great guitar skills of steve rothery
@@philippartridge9581 you do know Rothery is still in the band?
@@jonathanatkinson5256 i do. But Dick's lyrics helped bring alive Rothery's guitar solos
Najlepszy utwór z albumu Fugazi.
Wszystkie są najlepsze
Après tant d'années d écoute c est toujours un pur régale. Je suis toujours fan.
...po latach (32) a nadal rewelacja 😊
Bo dobra muzyka trwa wiecznie , a solówki Rothery wywołują u mnie do tej pory gęsią skórkę , no i przypominają beztroskie szkolne lata . Jakże brakuje tych czasów , gdzie taka '" muza " leciała z radia , i wieczorami człek chłonął ją całym sobą . Tak to było ................. oj wspaniałe wspomnienia
mar bro ...jest co i przy czym wspominać 😊
Dokładnie YaroSz dokładnie , szkoda tylko że dzisiejsza młodzież została z tej przyjemności wspominania okrojona , a to za sprawą miernoty stacji radiowych i nadawanej tam komercyjnej sieczki . Cóż syndrom dzisiejszych czasów !!!!!!
mar bro ...ech smartfon, narkotyk XXI wieku niszczy tak wiele, że nawet jak ludzie spotykają się fizycznie, to każdy i tak jest gdzieś w swoim wirtualnym świecie.
...napisałaś o jednym z pozytywów nowych technologii, ja napisałem o ich złym wpływie na stosunki, kontakty międzyludzkie.
Można zastosować takie uproszczenie: sam smartfon jak i sam narkotyk nie jest powiedzmy niczym złym.
Natomiast nieodpowiedzialne używanie, jak i zażywanie narkotyków do zasługujących na pochwały na pewno nie należą.
A mogę podpowiedzieć radio (jest w sieci i normalnie na ogólnopolskim FM) które grywa taka i podobna muzę, choć często i ich play lista jest zbyt ograniczona, monotonna i z bardziej współczesną muzą.
I'm a pretentious indie boy and I love early marillion with fish. My favourite guilty pleasure. This is one of my faves and I also love it from 4.00 onwards.
