MARBLES

I have to admit after the Fish era Marillion has never returned to the top of my musical interests. Now, after a long time, I'm listening again to some of their new music convinced by the fine, if not enthusiastic, reviews that I read almost everywhere. My reaction is totally positive, even if it's hard to define Marbles a piece of progressive rock. I't's pure, elegant (and a little bit depressive) music, sometimes radio friendly, and it's not absolutely a shame. It's to be said that what I have in my hand is the 1 cd version, the only available in the italian shops (I don't have, for axample, Ocean Cloud, which seems to be the best song in the album...). Anyway, Neverland it's a superb track worth the price alone. A solid pop-rock-with-a-prog-flavour album.
