Dear BOLD Jean,
leave out what yo like and listen to what you like but I don't know about a band working nowadays that took such an exciting upward development like Marillion did with Hogarth... if this is a  catastrophe I'm wishing for more catastrophes like that to happen... I liked this band first, since "Seasons end" i came to love them.

Don't forget about the new Porcupine Tree! (If you like them that is Eric Wink)

I really like 'Season's End' and 'Afraid Of Sunlight'- as good as any from the Fish era. 'Marbles' is up there too but it's an album which took a while to grow on me, though. 'Brave' still hasn't, though.Sleepy

Tristan,

I like Porcupine Tree a lot. They're not in my upper tier of favorite bands, but I try to keep current on what their doing and what they're producing. I'm sure the next disc will be phenomenal.

If anything, I'm pretty stoked about the new Riverside. I hope it's a killer.

Yeah, I need to get my hands on that one as well as soon as it gets released.

On marillion's new effort: I heard several songs live this weekend and they did indeed rock! Although not without losing the atmospheric sections. Reminded me a bit of Afraid of Sunlight or Seasons End (The albums that is).

Tristan,

I just got an email from a friend here in the States who made the trip and she said the new songs are very strong and solid. She said one or two may reflect H's discontent with the world today, so it sounds as if he's becoming political, which worries me (I'd hate to see a Marillion version of PoS's "America" on Somewhere Else.)

She said she could've done without the second night, which was nothing but covers, but said that the weekend was incredible. Especially Sunday night. She even said they pulled "Blind Curve" out of moth balls. I have an FRC release from Lausanne where they do "Lords Of The Backstage/Blind Curve" and H did a great job. I wonder if that night will be released on CD/DVD. I'm sure we'll see night 1 with The Strange Engine in some form or another.

She also got me a copy of the new DVD....which I'm pretty excited about.

The covers night as well as the Band's favourites nights were among the most intense gigs I've EVER witnessed! I heard a lot of people complaining about the setlist 'Oh, I expected this and they didn't play that... " blabla.. let the band surprise you!

I was well impressed by their version of Toxic and definitely hope they release it as a B-Side on the new single!

Personally, after the first listening of the clips on their Myspace page, the album seems much better than "Marbles"; a very good album, anyway we'll see....

Shameless bit of selfpromotion, but I just wrote the first collab review for Marillion's new album "Somewhere Else". If you'd like to read it, it's over here.

Cheers,

Hello all - please pardon my shameless promotion. I represent the North American distributor of Marillion's new CD release, and I wanted to let everyone know about the promotion we're running with FYE. if you visit www.fye.com/marillion the CD is available for a very good price, and we're giving away a bonus download with purchases plus a chance to win a guitar signed by the band. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
