LIVE AND LET LIVE

i am a huge fan of (old) Marillion and todays Arena and Pendragon. This information to make you understand where i come from. But now to Twelfth Night - this is like i thought once more a very good copy band of Marillion, style Jester Tears and Grendel. Something like 'Gray Lady Down' - BUT THEN THE SHOCK. This music has been written BEFORE Marillion came out with their first. I always wondered why they hated to play Grendel, it might very well be since it was copied from the ultimate song of Twelfth Night - 'Sequences' and then 'Creepshow'. When looking at the cover, not only the music is the same, the show looks same as well, big time masquerade - But after all a Great, great band, fantastic theatric music with great musicianship. Even the voice is good, not as powerful as my hero Fish, but comes certainly close to Peter Gabriel. Just the question on who is the original must be asked. I hope both of them and so I will same as I have all Marillion (before the dreadful Hogath area) collect just everything I find on Twelfth Night (but rather difficult to find). Interesting this band went through clearly three phases with starting as an Instrumental band, than with Singer Mann (the one who sounds like Fish, Gabriel) and then a new one that is more a pit Pendragon like. If ever you have the chance, listen to it, close your eyes and fly away in space. Beautiful and higly interesting
