The 2024 reissue of Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors revives Fish’s legendary solo debut with renewed depth and clarity. Pressed on double black vinyl, it captures the artist at his most personal and poetic.

With Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors (1990), he proved that his voice and storytelling stood powerfully on their own. The album blends progressive rock and heartfelt lyricism with political and emotional depth. Tracks like Big Wedge, State of Mind, and The Company highlight his sharp social vision and passion. Produced with warmth and precision, it remains a masterpiece of British art rock.
This 2024 reissue on double black vinyl enhances the richness of its timeless arrangements. The remastered sound offers stunning clarity while preserving its analog soul. Fish delivers introspection and defiance in equal measure — authentic and unforgettable. It marked the start of an enduring solo career filled with integrity and power. For vinyl collectors, this edition is an essential chapter in prog-rock history.
