 Topic: neo-prog/Arena
Posted: August 09 2005 at 03:18 |
I've become a Marillion fan in these past few months and I want to explore other neo-prog. I've listened to the MP3s of Arena and what I've heard sounds great, Also I like what I've heard from Pendragon's MP3s available. where should I start with Arena and where should I continue with neo-prog? (The only neo-prog albums I have are all of Marillion's studio albums minus Anoraknophobia and Radiation)

All of Marillion albums!
Well what do you like more: The Marillion with Hogarth (Marbles, Brave, Seasons End etc.) or the Marillion with Fish (Script, Fugazi etc.)?

I suggest you try IQ. After Marillion, they are the second most popular neo prog band in the archives.

I love both eras of marillion they probably both fall into my top ten favorite bands/artists. I haven't heard Season's End yet either forgot to include that one. Fish Marillion is more solid, I love all the albums, while H Marillion sometimes lacks: Marbles and Brave are both fantastic, Holidays In Eden and marillion.com are two great pop albums and Afraid of Sunlight is a good mix of both.

But if he adores Hogarth, I would suggest Pendragon.
Pendragon is great music, a bit soft and folky (the voice), but very nice. (New album coming up end of this month!!)
If he more likes the Fish era I would say IQ or Arena. Arena cannot impress me that much. The resemblance with Marillion Fish era is so much but it misses a certain power.
IQ is great. I will see them in concert soon and I have not heard anything of their last 4 (!) albums. So I am very curious.

I believe if you listen to IQ, then they will even impress you more than Marillion music...
Suggest you to start with their best album which is "EVER".
Let me know your comments on this group...

I 'ave to concur to go with IQ next. I believe they are the best neo-prog band out there and they put on a great concert.

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

This rings a bell from somewhere... It must be from a prog album? Is it Pink Floyd?

Yeah, it's from the song "The Great Gig in the Sky" from DSotM. A fantastic track IMO.

Twelfth Night - Fact And Fiction.
Unbelievable album - especially when you consider it was released a year before "Script...". You may find Geoff Mann's vocals an acquired taste - but listen to some Peter Hammill first - that'll sort you out!
