Tonight I sleep wellLOL

Seriously, I'm glad. I think it's an awesome album, and the springboard for my favourite lineup of any band at any time or genre ( I know you won't agree with that, but you know what I mean. It is an impressive work considering the stature of the bloke that buggered off).

Marillion Weekend 2013 details received, and pasted below. I am seriously considering the Wolverhampton one:

27 April 2012: 2013 Marillion Weekends


Can it already be a year since the last ones?! We are pleased to announce that once again we will be holding THREE Marillion Weekends in 2013.

As usual, the "residential non-stop party" Weekend will be at CenterParcs Port Zelande, Holland on 8–10 March. This is a chance to spend 3 days with Marillion and share your passion with the best 2500+ people on the planet; not to mention experiencing 3 completely different Marillion concerts! Included in this event is 3 nights’ accommodation and you can totally immerse yourself in all things Marillion, from signing sessions to the Museum to the Quiz. If you haven't had this experience yet, simply ask anyone who has - they'll probably tell you no distance is too far to travel!

After that we will be returning to Montreal for a Weekend of shows from 22–24 March.

Finally, after such a success last year, we will be holding another Weekend in the UK – but this time it will be at The Civic, Wolverhampton on 12-14 April.

As always, Friday night is album night and we will be performing the whole of theRadiation album on the Friday nights at all three Weekends. Saturday and Sunday nights are being decided on but rest assured they will be the best yet! We are also lining up a fantastic selection of special guests to support us at these events.

So where can you find out everything about the Weekends? From 27 April check out the Marillion Weekend website for full details of the Weekends - past and futurewww.marillionweekend.com

Join our online forum at www.marillion.com/forum or our official Marillion Weekend Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/MarillionWeekends2013 to chat to other fans about the Weekends.

Year on year, the Weekends have gone from strength to strength and the band look forward more than ever to being with the global family again.

Ian, Pete, Steve, h and Mark

Probably not, Ken. If I go at all (which I want to), it will be Wolverhampton.

So it's been a few months now since I've delved into h-era Marillion.

I have obtained "Marbles," "Brave," "Afraid of Sunlight," Seasons End," "Holidays in Eden," and "Marillion.com."

Here's my personal ranking from the ones I've heard 3 or more times:
1. Brave
2. Marbles
3. Afraid of Sunlight/Season's End

Brave is probably the strongest of the 4 I've heard. Fantastic album and concept.

Yep, it's an incredible album.

You will find that Marillion.Com will grow on you.

I'd be personally inclined to rank Afraid of Sunlight a little bit higher and Marbles a little bit lower, but on the whole those are some very respectable picks and there certainly isn't much to choose between them!

Laz is right that marillion.com tends to grow on you - but then again, I'd say all of the H-era albums do that so it might not catch up to the others. ;) Still, I think Interior Lulu really shines on that one. As for Holidays In Eden, I think most of its material has been fairly credibly salvaged through live shows, though I think Splintering Heart and the closing triptych on it are still gold.

Yeah, "Holidays.." and "Marillion.com" are next in my listening list and I'm fairly confident I'll enjoy them despite the lower ratings here on PA.

I won "Somewhere Else" from a bid at Ebay yesterday so even more Marillion to get me prepared for their US/Canada tour. ClapCool

The days are starting to get slower and slower for me as I wait for the Chicago shows.  I should make myself a Marillion "Advent" calendar.

22nd or 23rd? That weekend is going to be amazing for me. Gearfest at Sweetwater on the 22nd, Marillion in Chicago on the 23rd. Something on Sunday...
