Bravo, Peringo!!!. I'm not a Marillion fan, but it was weird watching a prog group being introduced by those terrible, illiterate, anorexic, sh*t music lovers, drug-addicts hosts.
And... err... I work next to them. It's not Spain is a small country... it's that I happen to know Peringo2, AKA El Puto. |

I saw that interview on TV and they introduced Marillion this way: "...
don't be mistaken, they are a band that haven't invented anything new".
And that's completely TRUE. They dindn't say anything about Marillion
being a prog band. Then they showed the band playing a piece of one of
their new songs...and I understood everything.... It was just POP.

The introduction stinked. Of course they were aware of who Marillion were and they had that crappy way of saying "sorry" to the dumbest part of their audience. There were three sections of music from their latest album "Marbles": "You Are Gone" (the single that had to be there, after all it peaked to number three) and the more adventurous ones: "Drilling Holes" and "The Damage" Of course, I understand there's a sector of prog classicists (Carakhallo must be one of them) who do not want this music to "progress" but, musically and imaginatevely speaking, "Marbles" BLASTS OFF ANYTHING DONE WITHIN THE REALMS OF "PROG" FOR A LONG, LONG, TIME. Please, do yourself a favour and enjoy tracks like "Drilling Holes", "The Invisible Man" or "Neverland" to enjoy this huge band at his most honest and emotional peak ("The Invisible Man" lasts 15 minutes and "Ocean Cloud" 19 minutes, if you are still using that abnormal criteria - or demand out-of-date instruments - to qualify a song as "good prog"). Funny thing: during the interview, a guy from a prog magazine was giving Pete Trewavas a really hard time just by focusing, question after question, in the album's faithfullness to the true essences of Prog. "I don't car if it is prog or not, just listen to it without thinking that music HAS to be a certain way, and then decide if you enjoy it or not". Agree with Pete. We need bands like Marillion, who push the envelope, instead of dreadful, unimaginative revivalists like the awful Flower King or the "two-albums-being-a-parody-of-ourselves" King Crimson. Hogarth rules. Love and rock sinfónico. |
