Almost a trademark of 80/90s neoprog was the vocalist taking all the limelight and....verbosity.
"Fact & Fiction" being a concept lp, certainly is crammed with lyric, but its not silly lyric.

Neoprog is rather a verboten genre for me but I DO have maybe 30 lps in the collection (IQ-Wake,Lush Attic, first Pendragon & Pallas....)
And I have all four Twelfth Night lps.
(Curiously enough one of the lps is all-instrumental.)

12th Night sparks a memory for me: my best used store find of all time (next to Plastic Cloud). It must have been early 90s. I forget the name of the record store - it didn't last long. This was downtown Hamilton ,Ontario opposite the pawnbrokers. In this store I got - for something like $8 each - 12th Night, Cathedral -Stained Glass Stories (on orig Delta) and Czar-same. Im still kicking myself: there was actually two (orig UK press) copies of the Czar!
