Not a bad song, but when I wanna hear that kind of ballad I rather listen to Chris deBurgh tbh. Here's couple of my fav (known by me of course) post-Fish tracks;

Easter

The Space

Splintering Heart

Neverland

Ocean Cloud

Possibly, but I think it was not particularly friendly between Rothery and Fish (cold as ice yes) before he left, if I believe to what I've seen on my DVD ''Marillion Live at Loreley'', their last touring. Where did you see them?

"Warm Wet Circles is such a brilliant song"

Agreed. The lyrics are amazing

Fish! Gabriel too on that matter. Ian Anderson is also a voice I can imit quite well. I have my son's approval.

Cool!

Fish has a very unique tune...very difficult to clone.

His biggest reference is Peter Gabriel I believe

Exactly. Tbh, it was very demanding for me to reproduce Fish' vocals. At that time, I had no technique at all for the vox. Now I have the technique, but I'm not sure if I still can hit his fucking notes hah.

Also I wish I could play Concert Flute. I surely would do a tribute to Jethro Tull (I have my little brother who plays drums as well, so...

I know some stuff from Jethro Tull but not enough to have a solid opinion about his work....

His best is Aqualung, right?

Hell yes, I'd be an happier man. I'd be like;

Aqualung is where they started their prog affair. TAAB is my perso fav. Both are essentials. Jethro Tull is essential, that is.

@Notrap: Yeah I'd say Aqualung and Thick as a Brick are Tull's best. They're one of my favourite prog bands maybe even my all time favourite so I highly recommend checking them out.

Yeah JT I believe you already rec me those some time ago.

I definitely must check those out, probably next month....The last weeks I'm jamming really heavy stuff like Death or Behemoth...Guess I'm on a extreme music cycle.
