“There’s not an ounce of fat on Peart’s lyrics. The revisions are palpable, the attention to detail and the rise and fall in the cadence and the musicality of the words are unmatched in the rock lexicon. Wheels within wheels in a spiral array.”

One of the many great things about his lyrics is that you could see his view of the world change album to album. He became more humanist, less rampant individualist.

Have you heard The National Jazz Trio Of Scotland’s Christmas Album. It’s full of beautiful and understated takes of traditional Christmas songs.

“What’s wrong with modern prog? Obviously it’s just my opinion but it’s the incessant looking backwards and aping, not quite as well, what’s come before... When I see a new act described as “sounding like” Marillion (and emphasising that’s Fish era Marillion) I just think “Oh FFS””

That annoys me too. All of the old bands sounded nothing like each other because they were all doing it for the first time. There’s a lot of newer bands I couldn’t listen to more than once.

“#NP This afternoon, it's time for the #TriumvirateOfFusion”

I have a few of those. The very first Return To Forever albums is one of my absolute favourites.

“Is there a word for the reduction in quality of a piece of music from when you first hear it on the PA in the shop to when you buy a copy and get it home?”

I used to find the same effect when I first heard a good record at someone’s house party. It never sounded as good at home. I blame alcohol for these occasions.

“What is that one song that leaves you an emotional wreck every time you listen to it? I'll start - Childlike Faith in Childhood's End, Van der Graaf Generator.”

I would have to pick Victorian Brickwork by Big Big Train.
