 Topic: Favourite Marillion Bit
Posted: December 05 2005 at 16:10 |
I'm not a Marillion fan particularly!
But.....my favourite bit of music by them is in The Party from Holidays In Eden.
Its the bit where, he's finished most of the singing, its like a middle 8 section and the guitar goes "wah, wah wah waaaaaaaaaaaaah" and the cymbals go "ting tikkety ting ting". I love it!

Definitely the whole song 'Hearts Of Lothian'- a genuinely moving track with excellent vocals, keys and guitar.
'The game is over....' part in 'Script For A Jester's Tear' comes close too.

Rothery's orgasmic solo in Keyleigh... 
Lavender is awesome also... And of Course, Heart of Lothian...
Script for a Jesters tear is also an awesome tune...

The harmonics at the start of 'Living With The Big Lie' they're so
psychedelic the music feels like it is thick and enveloping you.

Must admit though, that 'The Party' is a damn good song and has some
briliant parts, the solo is brilliant, but the lyrics are also very
dream-like, and the song is so moody, a good contrast to the more
'pop-like' songs such as 'Dry Land' etc.

The sound that Script For A Jesters Tear makes as it enters the CD grinder.

This one's easy for me. The buildup and solo section of Out of this World...amazing, haunting beautiful. The drums are so crisp and smooth and Rothery solo ghastly and ethereal.... and then after the solo hogarth mourns "what did she sayyyyyy..." One of the most stirring pieces of music I've ever heard, the music and lyrics are so fitting...
Also the crescendo at the end of Man of a Thousand Faces...
The ending of The Invisble Man is also powerful (even more so on the live DVD with Hogarth's theatrics) with the heavy bass pickup and soaring Rothery guitars and finally Hogarth singing (shouting) "Talk to me, Acknowledge me, Confide in me, Confess to me..."
Fish has way too many great vocal moments... just off the top of my head I always liked that section of She Chameleon, " So was it just a f**k, just another f**k, just another f**k I said!"
Marillion has so many great moments....

Too hard to choose. But most likely The last couple minutes of "Easter," even though it may change completely in 30 seconds.

Bitter Suite from Misplaced Childhood, the part where fish says "I can hear your heart" first in french then english. That part nearly made me cry a few times Also The Lord's Prayer section of Forgotten sons from Scrpt for a Jester's Tear.

very hard to choose!
actually, i can't choose, but rothery's guitar solo on jigsaw is the perfection itself!
white russian: "we buy fresh bagels, from the corner store , the svastikas are spath from aerosols..."
guitar solo on tux on
guitar solo on lady nina
on script: "approach, friends..."
the ethereal end of hotel hobbies
the ethereal end of warm wet circles
after rothery' guitar solo on the last straw: the rhythmic guitar + "and if you ever come across us don’t give us your sympathy, You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands..."
And you’ll "
the moog solo on assassing, around 4:00
on emerald lies, the intense bit right after "Through the silk cut haze to the smeared mascara
A 40 watt sun on a courtroom drama"
the hackett-esque les paul guitar solo on she cameleon
the very beginning of incubus: rarely seen so colorful & rich keyboards textures.
the gracious and elegant electric guitar solo on incubus
the melodic guitar solo on blind curve + fish saying "Oh I remember toronto when mylo went down
And we sat and we cried on the phone I never felt so alone..."
in the end of childhood's end, the keyboards right after when fish says "lead me on"
the electric guitar solo on kayleigh
mostly all the sentimental bits on bitter suite
the end of the space
the electric guitar solo on easter
the ethereal end of seasons end: IMPRESSIVE, it would perfectly fit on clutching at straws!
one of the most spine tingling moment is on Great Escape, from 1:50 to 3:00 and from 4:10 to 5:40!
on Brave , from 4:10 to 7:00
goodbye to all that, from 4:00 to 5:30
runaway, from 2:30 to 3:30
on bridge, from 0:40 to 2:00: THE KEYBOARDS!
on grendel, from 12:40 to 13:30; the electric guitar solo from 17:10 to 18:00
the electric guitar solo on cinderella search
the intro in berlin

Where to begin...?
I think, if I had to settle for one, it'd be the entire chunk running from the spoken section to the end of "Forgotten Sons".
