I've got it on DVD. It's a flip disc with the live performance of III on the other side. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mike-Oldfield-Tubular-Bells-Live/dp/B00004CZPF/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315773362&sr=8-1

For some reason the Zune store let me buy Sounds That Can't Be Made early last week and have been giving it many listens. It took a while to grow on me, but I think I agree with those who say it is the best Marillion album since Marbles. Gaza is such a good song, even if the opening guitar feels quite harsh, but then I felt that way about Cathedral Wall. The only track I am not too keen on at the moment is The Sky Above The Rain, I find it a bit unmemorable.

Montreal is just so cheesy, but I find it charming. I think it's nice to have something that is not particularly meaningful- especially with Gaza around, it makes for a nice counter. I see Gaza like I do Amarok, disjointed but for the most part each section works. The subject matter is such that the lyrics are likely to be clumsy- I think Tom Waits did the topic best with Road To Peace but Gaza was not a bad attempt, I think it is very touching in places. I would still rate the epics you mentioned above any of these- plus Neverland, I love that song to bits. But Marbles was just such a standout.

iamathousandapples posted:You haven't heard about Marillion.com yet? (it's at the very end) They pretty much did every online thing before every band. I like Interior Lulu  I also like a number of songs off Radiation and Anoraknophobia. I can't say they are better than Sunlight / Brave / Marbles but I don't think they are terrible albums. I like a lot of the Fish era stuff too- even Fugazi. I just agree with Steve Hogarth when he says Marillion would have been best off if they had changed their name when he came in (Or at least by Eden / Brave). Then again, I really like Calling All Stations and wish Ray Wilson had been given more time, so...

Most of the album sucks except for Deserve

BigFactory posted:I think Marillion with Steve Hogarth at the helm is actually a really cool band. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their, say, post-1994 output. Even the duds (maybe Radiation or This Strange Engine) at least have a few good songs. Although I honestly haven't listened to stange engine in forever, it could be total garbage. This Strange Engine at least has the title track and Estonia. Radiation? eh, I quite like Now She'll Never Know and A Few Words For The Dead. I've been getting more into Happiness Is The Road: Essence lately, I have found it a bit of a slow burner. Brave is brilliant, I have been enjoying watching the live videos on Youtube. I need to see these guys live while i can, h is great! I have to say I have swung firmly away from the Fish era of late. Straws is still pretty good though. nthing about Steven Wilson though, Raven is phenomenal. I have also picked up on Phideaux recently, 'Waiting For The Axe To Fall' seems to tickle many of my prog spots.

hexwren posted:thankfully, I never listened to that record I do have a soft spot for Calling All Stations. It took me a while, but I do enjoy the likes of Alien Afternoon and There Must Be Another Way. I won't say its a good album, by any means. I do think it's a shame that Ray Wilson joined when Rutherford and Banks didn't seem to give a poo poo. I did like some of his live attempts at earlier stuff, both with Genesis and later solo

Finally got to see Marillion live in Hull. All I can say is that if this is the only time I see them, I can go happy. I got Neverland, which always gets me, thanks to that soaring guitar. Still not sure what I make of the new song, but it had a lot of energy. I wasn't expecting The Party or The Release, but they worked well enough on the night

I figured it had to be ironic at that point. SW being a big Abba fan, I could almost see him try Eurovision with something like Permanating or some of the no-man stuff
