Good trip to the used record store

   I found the following:
Tangerine Dream "Stratosfear"
Tangerine Dream "Rubycon" 
heh finally went and got those TD cds 
and the big surprise, 
Marillion "Fugazi" 

Now they also had "Script for a Jester's Tear" and "Misplaced Childhood" I would have got those but I am tight on money so I could only really get those three. But I guess my question is that I am pretty unfamiliar with Marillion and I know I have heard that Fugazi is pretty good, but should I have started with a different album? Also I was just wondering what to expect from Marillion as I am pretty unfamiliar with them and neo prog in general.

	i slightly prefer script for a jester's tear, but fugazi certainly is a good choice.... both way better than the pop album misplaced childhood ....

	starofsirius: Ignore the BebieM behind the curtain... He's a johnny-come-lately to Marillion. Misplaced Childhood is the best Fish-era Marillion album - period. Fugazi is least good. For my money, the order would be: Misplaced Childhood, Script, Clutching at Straws, Fugazi. And if you get into the Hogarth era (equally as good in a different way), my order would be: Brave, Afraid of Sunlight, Marbles, Anoraknaphobia, Season's End, Holidays in Eden, then everything else. Have fun! Peace.
