Blind Curve

Introduction: Blind Curve is split into five sub-sections. Only Mylo and Perimeter Walk have explanations.

III. Mylo

'Mylo'
Steve Ross said: 'Mylo' was John Mylett, the drummer with Liverpool band Rage, managed by then Marillion manager, John Arnison. Mylo died in a car crash in Ibiza, Spain in 1984. Fish heard about it whilst in Canada on the Fugazi tour.

Fish from an article entitled Fish Likes an Argument; it's One of His Hobbies in Smash Hits by Vici MacDonald: "I was in Canada when I heard [Mylo] was dead - he'd been in a car crash and died instantly. And I had to do nine hours of interviews. To every interviewer that came in I said, 'You must excuse me if I'm untogether, but one of my best friends has just died.' And not one of them cared. When it was all over, I just cried and cried and cried."

 IV. Perimeter Walk

'Stoned and Immaculate'
This line appears on the version of Bitter Suite on La Gaza Ladra after 'Could have been ancient... could have been mystical'. Darren Moore said: "It's a reference to The Doors' song Stoned Immaculate, the ending lyrics being about walking on the perimeter."

Stoned Immaculate - The Doors

Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god
Wandering, wandering in hopeless night
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned
