BRIEF ENCOUNTER

Released in 1984, 'Brief Encounter' is a five-track EP by British progressive rock band, Marillion. Originally intended for American markets to coincide with their tour of the States and Canada, it would eventually be re-released on CD format as a bonus disc for a re-mastered 'Real to Reel' live album.

The EP features two studio tracks that were previously released as b-sides to various singles, 'Lady Nina' and 'Freaks', which have gone on to their own acclaim as Marillion classics, and the live tracks, although available elsewhere, are still good. In particular, 'Kayleigh' and 'Fugazi' deserve recognition for the excellent performances involved.

Overall, this is a good EP. While nothing remarkable, it's a cool collectable, especially if you have an original vinyl, and at barely 32 minutes in length, is a harmless keepsake for fans.
