Marillion

How does that compare to the original? If I remember, it already had quite a fat sound.

There is a higher degree of subtlety I find, a depth to the fat if you will. Quiet moments sound even more quiet.

It reminds me of his work on the early Yes albums: the subtlety is distinguished in a very positive way.

Hm. I might check it out. Too bad "Brave" isn't my favourite Hogarth-era Marillion record. That honor still goes to "Holidays in Eden", even though it's seen as a lesser album by many because of too much pop, too many ballads. I don't care. "Hoildays..." and "Season's End" have huge sentimental value for me.

Most bands I can identify one particular album as my main go to for that band, but Marillion defies this. Both with the H albums as well as the Fish works. I like something a lot from every album.

"Holidays" is the only Marillion I own, so I can't compare, but I've always been fond of that one.

It's not like I'd like to burn every other Marillion album at the stake - far from it. My first was - probably not a surprise - "Misplaced Childhood", but over the years, I've collected everything up to and including "Afraid of Sunlight" plus a few later ones here and there, a few live ones and the Fish/Hogarth singles compilation - which in the end gets the most rotations on average. I can do "Garden Party" followed by "Hooks In You" no problem.

I think I'm a patient listener, but Marillion's last few records have tested that patience. Maybe I just miss the exuberance of their earlier works. Maybe Hogarth's aged voice isn't to my liking. Maybe I'm just not in enough of a prog mindset to "get" it (although I have little problems with Voyager or Empyrios - and they do Prog a lot more extremely). No idea. All I know is that I can't sit through anything of Marillion's since the early 2000's, not even the live stuff. Which makes me sad somehow.

I get what you are saying. I've been involved in the crowdfunding of most of their latest albums so I have a vested interest I guess. I love Sounds That Can't Be Made and thought Gaza was a fantastic start for the album. I also enjoy F.E.A.R. a lot. I don't know. I seem to find a lot of snippets of the old Marillion among all the new sounds.

Unless you understand Japanese (I don't), just sit back and listen from about 5.56 onwards.

What a good horn player he was. Pity about the drugs.

Wishbone Ash - Live At Rockpalast 1976

A bit of rock history. Without these guys, we probably wouldn't have had Iron Maiden and a TON of other twin-guitar slinging metal bands. Fun fact - there's a new - and from what I've already heard - pretty snazzy new record coming out later this month. Between Wishbone Ash, Black Star Riders (the flagbearers of Thin Lizzy) and Deep Purple, that's a lot of old guys kicking serious ass still.

LOVE Wishbone Ash.

I was gutted when they played at a town just 40 miles from my house several years ago, and I had an unbreakable commitment and couldn't see them

Well, if not, then you probably don't wanna listen to this one, because this one is a classic.

Song: "Pull Me Under." Dream Theater

Agreed. It's fantastic. I have a small problem with it and the rest of "Images and Words" though. A drummer friend of mine was a total Mike Portnoy whore and played this one to death and then some. At band rehearsals. On his Walkman. In his room. I think I know every time change on that album by heart So glad we played Death Metal and I couldn't sing or "Pull Me Under" might have ended up on our set list. Instead, we did a rather mean version of "Ember's Fire" by Paradise Lost.

I'm on a mind.in.a.box kick at the moment. Latest on tap: "Revelations" (album)

The Birthday Massacre - The Sky Will Turn

New single! And I just learned they'll release a new album in March. SO HYPED! One of the coolest recent discoveries I made thanks to a random song of theirs popping up in my Youtube suggestions one night. Bought all their albums by now and can't wait for more stuff.

Song: "Pull Me Under." Dream Theater

Great song. I'm a fan of early Dream Theater. Sadly I've only seen them live once - and it was one of the loudest sets I've ever heard, which didn't do their performance any favors. I quite like some of their recent work - but they aren't an "auto-buy" any more.
