Fish

Vigil in the Wilderness was Fish's excellent debut album after separating as lead singer from Marillion. 


"Fish, in his way, is certainly in the company of Peter Gabriel and Bruce Springsteen. Fish makes records that become movies in the mind, big statements about whatever he chooses, because of his utterly and shamanistically convincing ability as the singer and songwriter who conceives and weaves them." ~ Thom Jurek, AMG

"And if there were ever any doubt as to how integral Derek Dick was to Marillion's sound (the lyrical content goes without saying), Vigil provides all the proof listeners will ever need." ~ John Franck, AMG
