Downloaded entire album off of Racket Records and Pre-Ordered the CD. 

They are saying that the CD has a 20 page booklet with lyrics and liner notes that I really want to see. 

Can't wait for the new Marillion album, and now I won't have to because all of Marillion is on this record... so it's like getting a new Marillion album before the new Marillion album!

So different from Pete's other stuff... more ethereal and dark and haunting ... far more pink floyd like to me than some of the other real proggy stuff.

Eric Blackwood and Pete Trewavas have really created a concept masterpiece here about a guy losing his mind as a result of alien abduction.  There are many musical influences on the album and it really pulls you in different directions with hints of Floyd, Porcupine Tree and even Led Zep too!!   Pete doing everything apart from base in one way shape or form here - his voice is really good and it is a shame he is not doing more active vocals for Marillion now and again I think.   
I was really not sure what to expect from this as an experience, but for me it trumps over Transatlantic easily.  Pete only needs one side hobby now and that is getting this thing on the road and making more amazing albums with Eric.

Basically - if you aint got it - then go get it, and if you have got it then tell everyone else how bloody good it is  :)

I"m trying man... i'm trying! ... all of Marillion appears on this... ALL OF THEM. Yet none of the Marillion people want to hear about it. It's like I don't know... did they all get turned off by the complexities of the Transatlantic thing? This is definitely not transatlantic (well.. .other other dimension maybe ..) but this is like floyd meets porcupine tree... that's what I got. but you're right progger... i do see the zep thing in Outerspaced. 

Very cool... thanks for making me not the only one to rave about this new album....

It's out (download and CD pre-order) and it is intense! Awesome ... 

cross between porcupine tree and pink floyd with lots of marillion overtones... but harder at times like tool

very dark ... and one tune is completely different and sounds like gentle giant (the one with mark kelly)

(racket/marillion is doing their european distribution)

so all of marillion is on this

and robin boult (fish)
and andy ditchfield (deeexpus)

Latest news is that it is Steve Hogarth, making this the first non-Marillion project to ever feature every current Marillion member. 

They are offering a download of the first song off the CD if you buy the 11.11.11 inaugural T-Shirt today. Includes an "exclusive remix" as well that is not on the CD. 

Also ... anyone who buys the 11.11.11 T-Shirt gets their name in the CD booklet. 

http://www.edisonschildren.com has all the ordering information

It's not like the voting happens now for collabs anyway, usually sometime in February(?).

1.) We don't need two threads about it.
2.) It probably won't make my list anyway, based on my taste in music. Wink

Don't vote yet for best prog record of the year... 

Edison's Children has been delayed but currently features... Marillion's Pete Trewavas and Eric Blackwood. 
Special Guests are 3 Marillion members... Mark Kelly and Ian Mosley are confirmed and rumors are heavy that Steve Rothery will be named as a part of this on Friday.

The first "outside project" in their history to feature 4 marillion members.
