Shortly after the release of the Clutching at Straws album, Marillion realised that it was only a matter of time before Fish's receding hairline would render him completely bald, so sacked him and replaced him with the very hirsute Steve Hogarth. I've always disliked their big hit from this album, Incommunicado, as it's a) a poor man's rehash of Market Square Heroes, and b) bears more than a suspicious resemblance to Van Halen's Jump. Much better is the anti anti-Semitic bombast of White Russian. It's just a shame that Fish's pronunciation of the word "bagels" makes one line sound as if he's singing "we buy fresh Biggles from the corner store". Chocks away, Ginger!
