HUH?

Better run (don't walk) back to your copy of -Fugazi- if you still believe
this.  Better yet, check out "Grendel" off the Marillion B-sides compilation,
released in 1982 before any albums.  Then throw on some mid-period Genesis,
perhaps -Wind and Wuthering-.  The similarities are undeniable.  I believe Fish
himself has cited Genesis as a primary influence more than once.  And I can't
imagine that Mark Kelly (their keyboardist) hasn't listened intensely to Tony
Banks' work with Genesis any more than I can believe that Tori's never heard
-The Kick Inside- or -Never For Ever-.  Not a chance.

Enough Marillion-speak for now.  I now return you to your regularly scheduled
Tori-chatter.
