I think there's only one of them who can play Tripitaka...

...gonna have to listen to this ep again, after Sanja used the word "monkey" about 4 times in one sentence, my mind wondered off to that TV show where the titular protagonist rode around on a pink cloud, and i spent the following 30 minutes wondering which member of marillion would best play each character in the show!
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
Agreed. I wish we'd gone into more detail early on, but we do indeed intend to go back over the ones we did in less depth.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
Hm. I honestly don't know. You could well be right.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
Ah! Thought so.

I'd honestly forgotten how good it is until going back to it for the podcast.

I'm so pleased you like this album so much. It's one of my favourites and definitely their most underrated. It also helped me at a tough time and so will always be precious to me.

And yes, they did play 'This Train..' on the tour last year.

I always thought ‘movie rich’ concerned the quality / look of our own reflection in the train window - like seeing yourself on a TV screen? Open to interpretation maybe?

I really love these extended dives into the albums and makes me wish you'd spent as long with the earlier ones. Maybe at some point you could do a 'deluxe version' of the albums you whizzed through a little.
