5 stars Neo-prog classic featuring the distinctive vocal style and poignant lyrics of Geoff MANN. "Fact & Fiction" paints the dark surreal avenues explored by early GENESIS with traces of IQ and early MARILLION while remaining highly original. The early and aggressive voice of Geoff MANN IMHO fits the music quite well and brings a real passionate aspect forward. Sound effects are used sparingly but are effectively layered in to help develop the theatics of MANN's concepts. To this day the title track "Fact & Fiction" remains one of my personal favourite Neo-prog songs of all time. Instrumentation is very well done with some great keyboard and guitar interplay. I know this album has received a lot of unfair criticism over the years and all I can say is that "Fact & Fiction" is one of the many prized possession in my collection.
