They realise he knows they must lose...

The Fugitive runs though his hands are tied…well stuck in his jacket pockets at least.

Welcome back Stationeers to the latest episode of The Revelation Station Podcast season 2! In our quest to listen to all of the solo albums by the “big 5” Genesis members we get to 1983. And that means Tony Banks’ second album The Fugitive.

Released in “late June” 1983, this hit the shops only a month after Genesis reconvened to work on their self-titled album. As such Tony engaged in very little promotion, with only one of the two single releases getting a promo video. Like Mike, Tony decided to handle the singing himself, was that a good decision? Find out by listening to the episode.

Back with the boys, what do Simon and Gary think of this one? Is this love at first listen? Will the wheels keep turning? Or is it a case of sometime never? And why, exactly did Tony end up naming the album after a popular TV series? Well, you can find out the answers to all these questions, and more, by listening to this episode.
