The good folks over at MVD Audio have the following FISH titles scheduled for release:
Fish – 13th Star
Fish first came to the notice of music fans as the front man for neo progressive rock band Marillion. 13th Star is the latest studio offering from Fish and was written and recorded during what was one of the biggest personal upheavals in his life. The album is a dark and reflective album although there is an optimism running throughout. Fish recorded a lengthy interview featuring the album for download as a podcast. The artwork for the album was designed by long time collaborator Mark Wilkinson.

Checkout the blog Where Worlds Collide for an interesting review of Fish’s upcoming release 13th Star.
Fish isn’t the world’s best singer by any means. And nowadays he lacks the range he had in his younger years. He makes up for this with his impassioned and emotional delivery; frustration, anger, sadness and ultimately hope.
You can purchase the CD directly from Fish’s online shop.
