You can't go wrong with either.

Sidenote: I found out that one of the themes for the Marillion weekend is a swap the band. VERY disappointed.

Yeah, swap the band sounds lame. I'm sure it's a big thrill for the guests who get to go up, but for the crowd it may not be the best show,  If the band want to do something different then I would suggest another covers night, but not like the last one. This time they should do a PROG covers night. I think Marillion could do killer versions of "Supper's Ready", "Echoes", "Stardust We Are", "Turn Of The Century" etc.  This would give they guys a real challenge ! I'm sure Pete is up to it !

Absolutely, why don´t we suggest that? I do think however, it would take to long for them to teach themselves those epics, wouldn't it? I mean, it's not like they've got oceans of spare time on their hands, have they? Tongue

Hi everyone

New to the forum, so bear with me if it takes time for me to catch up. Apart from Marillion, I also love Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, early Genesis (probably up to Duke), Yes, Jethro Tull, Rush, Moody Blues, etc

Also heard stuff recently by Touchstone, Panic Room, and heard of Riverside but yet to listen to any of their stuff.

I'm not really into a covers night, either (I sound hard-to-please). I just want to see Marillion doing their songs.

Ideally Eric, that would be what we would get, but it looks like the band have other ideas this time. Who knows, maybe some of the guest players will actually deliver ?  All we can do is wait and see.
Hey, my copy of "Out Of Season" came yesterday. I'll have to watch it this coming week-end...unless I have more yard-work to do. I hope it rains.

Hello everyone once again! Sorry for being so late with my reply - various RL obligations have caught up with me the last week! Glad you're all enjoying the new DVD so much! - I still only have the Loreley performance :(

Hey, your Serbian is fantastic! Did you really learn it? I imagine it's quite difficult to learn, with all the wierd cases and stuff. Wish I knew some Dutch :)

Quote Well, anyway, I do think it´s quite normal for you not to like albums like those two immediately: it took me some time to get into them as well and as Steve just said, it took him a while too. I think most people have to get into most of the Marillion stuff anyway, 'cause each album is rather different from the previous one, though in most cases you can see the actual mutation/evolvement, which I like. I think you just should listen to them in their own way (for example SE to me sounds more like a late afternoon album, which you should put on your speakers at around 5 p.m. when the sun has cooled down (it should have been a sunny day, though!) whereas HitR strikes me more like a morning album, which you should put on on a sunny day at around 11 a.m. or noon....but hey, that's just what I think).

Hmm, that's an interesting observation - about morning and afternoon albums. I also have a tendency to evoke some emotions from the color the album cover is (light and dark albums) and of course to attach the music to the actual time in my life when I first heard those albums. So in that way, Misplaced would be a summer album, and Marbles would be a winter album. Wonder if anyone sees those two that way?

Quote
PS. For HitR you should focus more on disc 2, I guess, 'cause that one is less spiritual and overall more straight to the point in terms of music and production than the first - conceptual - disc.

Hmm, interesting, I've actually had more success with the 1st disc until now (I only have my reserves about Half Empty Jam, sounds kinda unneccessary after the climax of the preceding track). Never got past Asylum Satellite on disc 2..

I've made it pretty clear that it's my least favorite Marillion album ever. Just does nothing for me.

Do we know what the third theme is? I'm hoping that it's not the Less Is More set list from the last tour. Honestly, if it is, I'm considering selling my ticket.

It's extremely rare I disagree with Eric, but I really like it. I admire the way some of the harder tracks have been stripped back to, in a couple of instances, virtually raw emotion. There are new approaches in there, and whilst not perfect, I find much to enjoy and admire.

I've had a week away from my favourite band, almost an eternity for me, but I put on HITR to finish off tonight, and Real Tears for Sale has just finished blasting out of the PC speakers. Incredible, and most definitely in the top five tracks this great band have ever produced. It's made me look forward even more to the new material whenever it comes out.

No, I haven't really learned Serbian; I bought myself a mini-dictionary and started writing letters with this friend of mine and everytime she sent me a letter back she attached my previous letter, which had been corrected by her dad so I could learn from my mistakes. I really love languages and grammar especially and I had read through some Serbian grammar already, so, that's the story; now to the important stuff...

Yes, I guess you're right about the point in life when you first hear an album, although I have to admit that with both Misplaced Childhood and Marbles (as well as virtually every Marillion albumEmbarrassed) I didn't like it very much at first. I do have it with day and night, though, Brave for me is a classic example of a night-album.
Haha, it surprises me you like the first disc more than the second one, now I really can't make any suggestions anymore except maybe that you should try "Real Tears for Sale" since so many Marillion fans love that song as you may have read in this thread.

Really? would that be in Holland too? 'Cause that really is depressing - my first Marillion Weekend and I don't really like the theme of every single night! (Hollidays in Eden is not my favourite album)...

Joren, I think Steve is joking. Last year in Montreal the band broke off in this completely improvised country & western song.
