Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors
From Freepedia
Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors (1990) is Fish's (born Derek W. Dick) first solo album since departing Marillion in 1988. Although the cover contains art by Mark Wilkinson, who illustrated all Marillion albums and singles while Fish was their singer, the album is not a concept album. However, several of the songs refer to "the hill" - a metaphor for greed and consumerism. The songs deal with the themes that Fish has always been passionate about - personal and social politics - but in single song format. As he is not a musician, Fish collaborated with Mickey Simmonds in writing the songs (with the exception of one cover) that make up the album.
