Marillion | ||
| Allmusic Biography : While the U.K.s Marillion arent the best-known rock band in the 21st century, theyve influenced many acts that followed in their wake, directly or indirectly, from Porcupine Tree and Radiohead to the Pineapple Thief and Gazpacho. They are rightfully credited with having established the neo-prog subgenre, and have explored many types of music over the decades that, thanks to their expert musicianship, has celebrated their long, inventive passages for electric guitars and keyboards. Though they landed as an outlier on the U.K. post-punk music scene during the early 80s as throwbacks to the Peter Gabriel-era Genesis sound -- thanks in no small part to their flamboyant original lead vocalist Fish (Derek Dick) -- by the time they released their sophomore outing, Fugazi, in 1984 they were a Top Five-charting, gold-certified act, and Fugazis follow-up, Misplaced Childhood, went straight to number one on the pop charts -- much to the chagrin of the British music press. After Fish left the band in the late 80s and was replaced by Steve Hogarth -- himself a unique and imposing song stylist and lyricist -- they became an enduring international recording and touring phenomenon who have sold more than 15 million albums and host fan clubs in ten nations. Leaving EMI after 1995s concept album Brave, the band helped pioneer the development of fan-funded music via their own labels Intact, Racket Records, and their fan club imprint Front Row. Touring resumed in 1997. Though Fish left the group, Marillions music has remained on the progressive, artful side of rock, and has evolved to embrace post-punk pop, indie, experimental rock, and even funk and electronica, as evidenced by 2017s FEAR. Each album is different than its predecessor. Despite their success, they regard themselves as a "best-kept secret." The group formed in Aylesbury, England in 1979 and adopted its original name, Silmarillion, from the title of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel. Initially, Marillion comprised guitarist Steve Rothery, bassist Doug Irvine, keyboardist Brian Jelliman, and drummer Mick Pointer, but after recording "The Web," an instrumental demo, they recruited vocalist Fish (born Derek Dick) and bassist Diz Minnitt. Prior to recording their debut single, "Market Square Heroes," keyboardist Mark Kelly and bassist Pete Trewavas replaced Jelliman and Minnitt. Marillion issued their debut album, Script for a Jesters Tear, in 1983, and on the strength of a relentless touring schedule they won a loyal following. With new drummer Ian Mosley (formerly of Curved Air) firmly in place, they returned to the studio for 1984s Fugazi, which streamlined the intricacies of the groups prog rock leanings in favor of a more straight-ahead hard rock identity; the refinements paid off, and both "Assassin" and "Punch and Judy" became British hits. With 1985s Misplaced Childhood, an elaborate conceptual album reflecting Fishs formative experiences, Marillion earned their greatest success to date: the lush ballad "Kayleigh" reached the number two position on the U.K. charts, and became a hit in the U.S. as well. The follow-up, "Lavender," was also a smash, but the group began crumbling: Fish developed alcohol and drug problems, and egos ran rampant. After 1987s Clutching at Straws (and the 1988 live effort The Thieving Magpie), Fish left the band for a solo career. The initial release of post-Fish Marillion did not substantially alter the sound the band had displayed on Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws. The addition of lyricist John Helmer and lyricist/vocalist Steve Hogarth came after the band had developed much of the musical material for Seasons End, and few alterations in style were made. The follow-up, Holidays in Eden, was intended as a more mainstream rock album but failed to attract a wider audience. Marillions record label, EMI, gave the band a higher budget for the next album and the result of 15 months of labor was Brave, a concept album that mixed classic symphonic progressive rock with standard rock. The following release, Afraid of Sunlight, considerably altered the bands approach with great success -- it is the most consistent Marillion release to date. Following Afraid of Sunlight, the bandmembers split up briefly to record side projects. Hogarth released Ice Cream Genius under the name H, Rothery formed the Wishing Tree (which produced Carnival of Souls), and Mosley and Trewavas joined Iris for Crossing the Desert. The Rothery and Hogarth projects were both very acoustic in nature, and when the band re-formed for This Strange Engine in 1997, Marillions style changed again to a softer sound. After the release of This Strange Engine, Marillion scheduled a European tour, but keyboardist Kelly posted an online message stating that the band would not tour the United States due to a lack of record company support. Fans of the band worldwide joined forces to raise over $60,000 to underwrite the tour, and the band undertook its largest North American tour since Holidays in Eden. In 1998, the band returned to the studio to record its tenth album, Radiation. Again changing styles, the effort showed the influences of the Beatles and Radiohead, specifically OK Computer. Marillion.com followed in 1999, and the early part of the new century saw the release of two additional studio albums, 2001s Anoraknophobia and 2004s Marbles, the latter displaying the influences of both U2 and Pink Floyd. While both of these albums were closely followed by themed live releases, the second of these -- 2005s Marbles Live -- featured on-stage renditions that were arguably stronger than their comparative studio takes. Breaking away from the meticulous approach to production offered by longtime collaborator Dave Meegan, Marillion employed Michael Hunter in 2007 to oversee the recording of their 14th studio album, Somewhere Else. In terms of sales, it was their most successful release in almost a decade and featured the U.K. hit single "Thank You Whoever You Are." In 2008, Hunter also produced their ambitious two-volume work, Happiness Is the Road, before a back-to-basics, self-recorded acoustic album -- Less Is More -- was issued the following year, featuring pared-down versions of post-1994 Marillion material. Their next full-blown studio album was 2012s politically motivated Sounds That Cant Be Made, which included the sprawling 17-minute "Gaza." The following year a live performance from their 2013 bi-annual weekend festival in Port Zelande, Netherlands, was recorded. Titled A Sunday Night Above the Rain, the album was expected to be released in 2014. The bands provocatively titled 18th studio album FEAR (Fuck Everyone and Run) would arrive in 2016, coinciding with a world tour throughout the second half of the year to promote its release. Early in 2017, Marillion delivered the live Marbles in the Park, a double-disc performance of the complete album during the 2015 Marillion Weekend at Center Parcs, Port Zelande, Netherlands. Later that year they put out the four-track live EP Living in FEAR ahead of their first-ever performance at the Royal Albert Hall. In 2017, Marillion issued a deluxe multi-disc audio/video version of Misplaced Childhood remixed by Steven Wilson, followed by the catalog titles Brave (also Wilson), and Clutching at Straws (remixed by Andy Bradfield & Avril Mackintosh) in 2018. | ||

| Script for a Jester’s Tear : Allmusic album Review : At the time, Marillions remarkable, full-fledged 1983 debut Script for a Jesters Tear was considered an odd bird: replete with Peter Gabriel face paint and lengthy, technical compositions, Marillion ushered in a new generation of prog rock that bound them forever to the heroics of early day Genesis. Intricate, complex, and theatrical almost to a fault, Script for a Jesters Tear remains the bands best and sets the bar for their later work. Filled with extraordinary songs that remained staples in the bands live gigs, the album begins with the poignant title track, on which Fish leads his band of merry men on a brokenhearted tour de force that culminates with the singer decrying that "…the game is over." "He Knows You Know,," a song sprinkled with drug paranoia and guilt; as the song veers to its chorus, Fish announces, "Fast feed, crystal fever, swarming through a fractured mind." If "The Web" hints at a grain of commercialism, "Garden Party" is a joyous anthem that showcases Marillion at the peak of its powers. Bogged down by some hilariously over-the-top British poetry, "Chelsea Monday" may be one of the albums lesser moments (if there are any), but the magical "Forgotten Sons" concludes the opus magnificently. Luckily for Marillion fans, EMI released a remastered version of Script with two different versions of "Market Square Heroes," "Three Boats Down from the Candy," "Grendel," "Chelsea Monday," the demo of "He Knows You Know," and an alternate track titled "Charting the Single." A vital piece for any Marillion head and an essential work for any self-respecting first- or second-generation prog rock fan. | ||

| Fugazi : Allmusic album Review : At the conclusion of the Script for a Jesters Tear tour, Marillion decided to give drummer Mick Pointer his marching orders, replacing him momentarily with Camels Andy Ward and later by American studio whiz Jonathan Mover. Movers recruitment proved to be short-lived, as Fish ushered in Steve Hacketts drummer/percussionist, Ian Mosley, whose spot-on drumming was the perfect foil for Marillions meticulous musicianship. With Mosley, the band set out to record its sophomore effort. The first track to emerge from the Fugazi sessions would be "Punch and Judy" (which EMI released as the albums first single). In hindsight, this wasnt a smart move -- the single quickly vanished into chart oblivion. As the sessions turned into a grueling and at times exasperating multi-studio juggling act (ten different studios were used for the tracking/mixing of the record), Fugazi proved to be a somewhat disjointed follow-up to the classic Script for a Jesters Tear. Despite its superlative arrangements, the album lacked its predecessors cohesion and focus, but all was not lost: Buried in the albums murky mix are three Marillion classics. "Assassing," "Incubus," and especially the albums title track showcase the band at its melodramatic best. The cryptic "Fugazi" was a highlight of the bands live set for many years to follow. [In 1998, EMI issued a remastered version of Fugazi featuring a bonus disc full of oddities and demos, including "Three Boats Down From the Candy," a 12" version of "Cinderella Search," and four of the albums original demos. The remastered version goes a long way toward restoring the albums original sonic aesthetic (lost somewhere along the way in initial vinyl and CD pressings).] | ||

| Misplaced Childhood : Allmusic album Review : After the album-tour-album cycle of Script for a Jesters Tear, Fugazi, and the subsequent Euro-only release of Real to Reel, Marillion retreated to Berlins Hansa Ton Studios with Rolling Stones producer Chris Kimsey to work on their next opus. Armed with a handful of lyrics born out of a self-confessed acid trip, Fish came up with the elaborate concept for 1985s Misplaced Childhood. Touching upon his early childhood experiences and his inability to deal with a slew of bad breakups exacerbated by a never-ending series of rock star-type "indulgences," Misplaced Childhood would prove to be not only the bands most accomplished release to date, but also its most streamlined. Initial record company skepticism over the bands decision to forge ahead with a 70s-style prog rock opus split into two halves (sides one and two) quickly evaporated as Marillion delivered its two most commercial singles ever: "Kayleigh" and "Lavender." With its lush production and punchy mix, the album went on to become the bands greatest commercial triumph, especially in Europe where they would rise from theater attraction to bona fide stadium royalty. The subsequent U.S. success of "Kayleigh" would also see Marillion returning to the States for a difficult tour as Rushs support act. | ||

| Clutching at Straws : Allmusic album Review : Written and conceived during a period of inner-band turmoil, Clutching at Straws would prove to be Fishs swan song, and perhaps Marillions most unheralded masterpiece. Teaming up once again with producer Chris Kimsey, Clutching at Straws showcases some of the bands most satisfying compositions, including the magnificent "Warm Wet Circles" and "That Time of the Night (The Short Straw)." Bookended by Fishs disgust with not only himself, "Torch Song," but also with the burgeoning neo-Nazi uprising in Europe, "White Russian," the great Scot delivers an inspired condemnation. The commercial pomp and circumstance of "Incommunicado" also gives way to a self-parodying confessional inspired by Fishs inability to see himself as a bona fide rock star and celebrity ("I want to do adverts for American Express cards, talk shows on prime time T.V."). Tour opener "Slainte Mhath" is simple and elegant, building to its dramatic crescendo only to be upstaged by "Sugar Mice" -- quite simply, one of Marillions best commercial singles ever. The albums stunning closer, "The Last Straw," is Fishs self-realization that yes, the band is not only over, but that in his mind, its null and void ("and if you ever come across us, dont give us your sympathy"). Steve Rotherys blinding guitar solo brings the whole thing down to a crashing finish (prophetically, announcing his arrival as the bands true musical instigator on subsequent Fish-less records). | ||

| Seasons End : Allmusic album Review : After Fishs departure, Marillion teetered on the brink of collapse: The frontmans distinct voice and poetic prose made him the defining member of the band. One can only imagine how record executives held their collective breath as Steve Hogarth was brought in to take the reins. His first outing with band, 1989s Seasons End, removed all doubts about the bands future. Hogarths unique, expressive voice fit Marillion perfectly; on the full-throttle rock assault of "The Uninvited Guest" or the emotional "After You," Hogarths singularity is unmistakable. The heartfelt "Easter," with its imaginative electric-acoustic arrangement, is another showcase for Hogarths talents. Marillions ability to write music whose ideals live and breathe in the listener continues on Seasons End, particularly on the inspiring "Holloway Girl," which dissects the injustice of incarcerating mentally ill female inmates (at Englands Holloway Prison) instead of placing them in appropriate psychiatric facilities. The beautiful "Easter" is the bands plea for peace in Ireland, while "The King of Sunset Town" has its lyrical roots in the massacre at Tiananmen Square. Hogarths flexible range and beautiful phrasing shine on the entire album. In 1999 Marillion released a remastered version of Seasons End, including a bonus disc of outtakes and alternate versions as well as the previously unreleased "The Bell in the Sea" and "The Release." Both are strong tracks and are welcome additions to the Marillion catalog. While 1995s Afraid of Sunlight is the peak of Marillions growing, impressive body of work, Seasons End shouldnt be missed either. | ||

| Holidays in Eden : Allmusic album Review : Faced with flagging sales on their first post-Fish release Seasons End, progressive rockers Marillion paired themselves with pop producer Christopher Neil for 1991s Holidays in Eden. It wasnt exactly a move that paid either commercial or artistic dividends, as the results are so diluted and bland that one can only hope this was a desperate attempt to appease their label. There were several singles that charted in the U.K., but they could have been performed by anyone or, worse, in the case of the ringing guitars on "Cover My Eyes," it sounds as though they want to reinvent themselves as U2. Its a record that will surely disappoint fans of their more progressive work and, lacking a distinctive personality, hardly elicit excitement from newcomers. | ||

| Brave : Allmusic album Review : Rebounding from the inconsistent Holidays in Eden, Marillion retreated to the studio for 15 months to write and record the concept album Brave. Telling the story of an abused girl wandering on Severn Bridge, the album is a solid mix of symphonic tracks with a pronounced rock edge. A band known for trilogies, the final set of "The Great Escape," "The Last of You," and "Falling From the Moon" form one of the most dynamic showcases for vocalist Steve Hogarth and guitarist Steve Rothery. Brave remains the most complex Marillion release to date, with layers and layers of sound. A full-length movie of Brave, directed by Richard Stanley, was released in Europe in conjunction with the album. | ||

| Afraid of Sunlight : Allmusic album Review : Afraid of sunlight was Marillions first real progressive album since Fish had left the band. While it does not rank as high as classics like Script for a Jesters Tear or Fugazi, it still has some very strong moments. "Cannibal Surf Babe" is a tribute to the 60s (sort of). It starts off like the Beach Boys "California Girls" before turning into the nightmarish tale of a cannibal woman! But the best moments are in the second half of the album, with tracks such as "Out of This World," "Afraid of Sunlight," and "King." As usual with Marillion, the keyboards stand out the most. There are some very beautiful melodic moments and perhaps a better mix between calm and agressive melodies than on previous albums made with Steve Hogarth. | ||

Drawing exclusively from their early work with colorful vocalist Fish, this set combines bona fide hits like "Kayleigh," "Lavender" and "Punch & Judy" with less well-known (but mostly still top-notch) fare such as "Jigsaw," "Lady Nina," and the notoriously overblown epic "Grendel." A collection of quality music, to be sure, but hardly deserving of such an imposing title. | ||

| The Best of Both Worlds : Allmusic album Review : One can view The Best of Both Worlds as either an exercise in futility or a chance to become better acquainted with two very different incarnations of Marillion. Split up into the bands two eras, The Best of Both Worlds features 14 Fish-led compositions and 15 tracks from the Mach II lineup featuring former How We Live frontman Steve Hogarth on vocals. Truth be told, disc one features a plethora of spectacular essentials including "Script for Jesters Tear," "Assassing," and the single edits of "Kayleigh" and "Lavender." Revisiting songs like "Warm Wet Circle" and "Forgotten Son," its easy to understand why this lot was so esteemed by their Euro audience. Oddly enough, and somewhat incomprehensibly, the epic "Fugazy" fails to make an appearance. Of the Hogarth era, the best material is culled from his debut with the band, Seasons End and from Afraid of Sunlight. Everything in between is pretty iffy. This collection is obviously a quote-unquote, hit-driven compilation, so consequently, some of the better Hogarth moments like the title track from Seasons End or Berlin are omitted. If youve ever been curious about the band, The Best of Both Worlds is a good place to start. For a deeper understanding, spend some time with Script for Jesters Tear, Misplaced Childhood, Clutching at Straws, and Seasons End. For beginners only. | ||

| This Strange Engine : Allmusic album Review : If any self-respecting Marillion fans could have looked into a crystal ball back in the mid-80s (at the the bands pinnacle) to see where the bands path was headed, most would likely have been shocked and amazed to see how it all turned out. If the Fish-led incarnation steered the band down an often dramatic path of intricate, ambitious material, Marillions new boy, Steve Hogarth, slowly beat it out of them -- but not necessarily in a bad way. Released in 1997, This Strange Engine features the Mach II Marillion lineup in all its commercial glory. The longwinded compositions of previous works are all but forgotten, save for "This Strange Engine," the albums sole proggy track, replete with Pink Floyd-style sax solos. Instead, theyve been replaced by the quasi-Journey strains of "One Fine Day" and the uber-commercial "80 Days." The latter features perhaps one of the finest Hogarth-led choruses in recent history. As always, This Strange Engine is a production marvel. Ian Mosleys tight drum sounds intertwine effortlessly with Steven Rotherys guitar leads. Not a bad record, but not a great one either. If one word can sum up this release, it would be: ordinary. | ||

| Anoraknophobia : Allmusic album Review : Marillion took a bold step with their 12th studio album; having run their own record label for some time, they issued a call for advance orders, payable directly to the band, thereby obviating any need for an advance from a larger company and allowing the band to retain all rights to the finished work. 12,674 fans worldwide answered that call; their reward was a deluxe package with a bonus track, thanking everyone whod paid before a certain date. But the quintet muddied their waters somewhat with the high "pricing" of their new project. A press release from the band didnt help, with its quote from singer Steve Hogarth, "Youre all wrong about Marillion," followed by an imperious "challenge" from the publicist to review the album without using a certain seven terms (hint: youll find one of them in the third-to-last sentence), "because if you do, well know that you havent listened to it." This odd poise of seeming to snap on feeding fingers carries over to the record on several levels. Hogarth asks, "What gets in between," at several points in the otherwise joyous "Between You and Me." For the nine-minute "Quartz," the band plods out a deliberately madding rhythm while the protagonist first suspects, then lathers himself into believing that he and his significant other are incompatible. "Map of the World," co-written with Cutting Crews Nick VanEede, celebrates the flight of a young girl into the world and adult adventures, even if it isnt clear how "Paris, London, and New York" will differ from the lights of her town, "all singin buy some of this, come on." And "Separated Out" hisses and screeches the pain of freakdom; the listener may not know that dedicated Marillion fans call themselves "freaks," after a Fish-era B-side that seemed to celebrate freaks finding each other. Is this latter-day song a plea for acceptance on behalf of the band, or a repudiation of what came before? If Marillion cant or wont solve any of these dilemmas, they at least uphold their tradition of lyrics flush with text and subtext and ever-shifting music that incorporates up-to-date influences with authority and no track of trend-mongering slavishness. | ||

| Marbles : Allmusic album Review : Marillion surprised the European market by earning Top Ten placings in the U.K. and Holland for its single "Youre Gone" in the spring of 2004, but the comeback wasnt hard to figure if you listened to the record, which found the band making like U2, with a martial beat, a sustained, repetitive guitar figure, and Steve Hogarth keening, "You are the light," in his best impression of Bono. Elsewhere, Marbles, the bands 13th studio album in 21 years, for the most part recalled not so much U2 as a more long-standing influence, Pink Floyd. From the album cover and graphics in the CD booklet, which revealed the influence of Hipgnosis, the firm that did the same work for Pink Floyd, to the lengthy closing track, "Neverland," with its echoing vocals, Marillion, a group formed in the shadow of progressive rock progenitors like Genesis and Pink Floyd demonstrated that they had no trouble continuing the tradition. Indeed, leading things off with the slow, moody 13-plus-minutes of "The Invisible Man," Hogarth showed an interest in melancholy introspection to rival anything on Pink Floyds Wish You Were Here. The song set the albums tone, as Hogarth lamented his deterioration not so much into an invisible man as, perhaps, a ghost whose former romantic partner cannot hear or feel him. "When you stumble," he wailed, "you will stumble through me." "Youre Gone," despite that heroic Edge-like guitar work, continued the moping about romantic disappointment, while "Angelina" found Hogarth praising either a late-night disc jockey or a phone-sex worker, it was hard to tell which. By the time of "Fantastic Place," he seemed to be getting over his depression, however, and in the playful "Drilling Holes," he was even telling jokes ("A girl came to help out in the kitchen/And by the evening/We found we were all washed up"). "Neverland" suggested that the old love had returned or been replaced (maybe by that girl who came to help out) as Hogarth celebrated "Wendy/Darling/In the kitchen/With your dreams." Meanwhile, the band churned out patterned rock music that rose and fell in forcefulness, with only slight regard to the singers emotional ups and downs. If the result didnt seem to quite live up to the evident seriousness with which it was presented, this was nevertheless a band that knew how to play together cohesively and work up to some rousing climaxes. | ||

| Less Is More : Allmusic album Review : Less Is More marks a kind of evolutionary milestone for Marillion. They may have emerged in the early ‘80s as the front-runners of the British neo-progressive movement (alongside the likes of Pendragon, IQ, et al.), but these days its hard to imagine that the prefix "neo" was ever attached to this longstanding band. Four out of five current members have been on board since the second Marillion album, 1984s Fugazi, and singer Steve Hogarth became a 20-year man the year of Less Is Mores release. Theyve come so far from their over the top, Genesis/Van der Graaf Generator-indebted beginnings that its difficult to believe theyre even the same group. Of course, in many ways, they arent; thats the whole point of Less Is More, which finds Marillion revisiting songs from all across the last 20 years of their discography in new acoustic-based arrangements. The results are closer to latter-day Talk Talk than they are to anything on Selling England by the Pound. The scaled-down settings, which mark a drastic volte-face from the bands previous release, Happiness Is the Road, accentuate Hogarths knack for tasteful understatement, the lyrical qualities that have been inherent in guitarist Steve Rotherys David Gilmour-influenced lines from day one, and the degree of sophistication present in Marillions compositional sensibilities. Any sonic grandeur that may be missing from these new, stripped-down versions of songs from This Strange Engine, Afraid of Sunlight, Brave, Seasons End, and others is more than made up for in the sweetly subtle pleasures that abound here. Less Is More is pretty much a low-key affair from start to finish -- even the lone unreleased studio track, "Its Not Your Fault," runs on nothing more than Hogarths affecting vocal and piano -- but its an intense and commanding outing nonetheless. Two live bonus tracks are tacked onto the end, a version of "Runaway" from the Brave album and a cover of Radioheads "Fake Plastic Trees," the latter a clever turnabout wherein these veteran art rockers take on the legacy of a band for whom Marillion undoubtedly paved the way. | ||

| Sounds That Can’t Be Made : Allmusic album Review : On their 17th album, Marillion begin their return to their neo-prog roots for the first time since 2004s Marbles. A full decade after the classic Brave, Marillion made a conscious decision to appear "relevant" in the marketplace; this is funny or a number of reasons, not the least of which is that when they began their rapprochement with prog, it was during the post-punk/new wave era. Post-Fish outings such as Radiation, and Marillion.com began utilizing drum loops, ambient atmospherics, and U2-isms in order to reach an audience that had never gravitated toward them in the first place. 2001s Anoraknophobia (the first ever crowd-funded album) went even further by introducing tropes from trip-hop, Brit-funk, hip-hop, and jazzy dub. While 2004s Marbles was a marked a return to their sprawling cinematic origins, subsequent long players again backslid toward pop mediocrity. Sounds That Cant Be Made sounds like vintage Marillion. Theyve returned to prog with a vengeance here, delivering an eight-track collection that fires on all cylinders, beginning with the 17-minute epic "Gaza." Delivered from the point of view of a young boy living in the region, it looks at the violence, poverty, and Palestinians will to independence without going after the nation of Israel. Tempo, texture, and key changes abound throughout as frontman Steve Hogarth shapeshifts through terrain that recalls Talk Talks Mark Hollis at his most emotionally taut. Steve Rothery brandishes a more aggressive guitar attack than he has in years. Two other double-digit-length cuts, "Montreal" (a tribute to Marillion fans) and closer "The Sky Above the Rain," offer myriad layers of inventive keyboards and expansive drum and bass work as Rothery and Hogarth deliver with peak prowess. While "Power" flirts with sophisticated pop, its set free from such constraints by the interplay between Mark Kellys keyboards, Ian Mosleys drum kit, and Pete Trewavas lyrical bassline, while Rotherys guitar playing moves around Hogarths singing, filling the margins with colorful tonalities. Closer "Lucky Man" (not the ELP track of the same title) begins with majestic aggression and shifts toward a bass-heavy, bluesy melody that evolves into anthemic prog with Hogarth giving his best rockist delivery. Tempered by their restless experiments in the pop wilderness, Sounds That Cant Be Made is evidence that Marillion always knew who they were as a band. If anything, theyve become better musicians for having taken in all those extant sources. Fantastic! | ||
