Special Edition.
For their second album, British neo-prog pioneers Marillion trimmed a bit of the musical fat from their sound. Though the group still maintained many of the old-school prog trappings that made SCRIPT FOR A JESTER`S TEAR a success, FUGAZI took Marillion towards a more refined vista. Lead singer Fish`s lyrics are even more laden with barbed invective aimed at British social conventions, marking him as either a descendent of Ray Davies or a precursor of Jarvis Cocker, depending on one`s inclination. There`s a greater rhythmic thrust to some of the tracks, and less emphasis on facile instrumental flair. Of course, that`s not to say that there`s any dearth of impressive musical moments here, as guitarist Steve Rothery`s post-Pink Floyd guitar dances around Mark Kelly`s kaleidoscopic synthesizer lines. Ultimately less ornate and more aggressive than its predecessor, FUGAZI was a slight step away from Marillion`s `70s roots towards a sound more uniquely their own.
