The Marillion Round Table

E-Dub wrote: Joel, it's quite the departure, but I enjoy it. Where This Strange Engine was a bit more acoustic, this is a lot more electric with an alternative edge. It's a lower tier Marillion disc, but I feel it's worth getting. Hogarth's vocals on "These Chains" are mesmerizing. I'd say go ahead and get it. E

Thanks Eric - I'll grab it tomorrow morning
I haven't been disappointed by Marillion so far, and hopefully this is no exception.

Just to add to Eric's thoughts, I have always found Radiation to be somewhat underrated. The These Chains sequence is amazing, and Cathedral Walls has to be played very loud to fully appreciate just how stunning it is. Under The Sun is a thought provoking song, whilst for a long time, A Few Words For The Dead was my favourite Marillion epic track.

Let us know how you enjoy it. If it helps, my review of the album is here:

Great review Lazland - Sounds like we have insanely similiar tastes, so I'll grab this one when I head out in a couple of hours.

Thanks

I only have the Loreley DVD. I have watched the Recital DVD while on loan from a buddy. Good DVD and I should get it. It's just glaring how inferior Pointer is to Mosely on the drums, though.

Evening folks!
Thought I'd drop in to say I bought a copy of Live From Loreley today... Funny story, actually.

I was searching around a CD store, and I found the copy of Radiation (It is the copy with the remixed version of Memory Of Water aswell!) and after buying it (and Opeth's Damnation) I headed back out to meet up with my dad. I didn't think to check for Marillion DVD's (Barely any stores in Australia have Marillion CD's, let alone DVD's) and my dad found a new, sealed copy of Live From Loreley for 4$ AUD... Thats around 2 USD

Great DVD, and I also like Radiation!

From what I've seen, I prefer the overall performance on Recital Of The Script, but I massively prefer the Setlist on Live At Loreley... Any advice/suggestion would be hugely appreciated! -Joel

There is another unofficial DVD on the Fish Era : "The Fish years" with a interesting list of shows" Just look at this link and ask for the complete list of shows and features:
