I know that you had a great time with PA friends at the cons. I still haven't gotten round to attending one, simply because the caring responsibilities we have at home make such trips extremely difficult. One day....... Actually, the last gig I went to was STCBM tour in Cardiff, a fantastic night. We haven't heard from Joel in a long time, which is a shame because, as you say, he was a really nice young man. Maybe he will join the returning hordes to this little site.... ![]() |

Hi, and welcome to our little thread. Misplaced Childhood is a timeless classic, and I will still be listening to it as an old man, I know. You must, though, at least try Marbles, Brave, or Afraid of Sunlight from the Hogarth era. You will then realise just why this band have such longevity. |

The Rothery album will likely get a four star review from me when I review it soon.
It is most clearly a grower, and takes time to fully appreciate. I will not reproduce my draft review here, but I will say that the album shows a fully functioning band in action, rather than a mere solo effort. |

The new Rothery hit me instantly. I still prefer his Wishing Tree project, but it sounds as if he's having fun with this. And yes, you must try Brave, Afraid Of Sunlight, Marbles, Seasons End. I was introduced to them around Misplaced Childhood, but I prefer the Hogarth era. E |

Speaking of Wishing Tree, are you familiar with the The Wishing Tree project sans Rothery called Rocket Moth?:

I've been meaning to get it. Just things keep getting in the way. Too many good discs out there, not enough funds. E |

Your post about Wishing Tree reminded me that I ordered this a while back, but still haven't received it, although I did see the charge on my last credit card statement. I just shot them an email hoping to find out the status of it.

Rocket Moth sounds cool. I'll have to check out Wishing Tree as well.

I really like The Wishing Tree. Their Ostara album was one of my recommendations in my previous batch of monthly recommendations. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59948&PID=3326358#3326358

Saw The Wishing Tree at my first Marillion weekend in Montreal. Hannah Stobart had my hypnotized. Devastatingly beautiful woman with a voice to match.

Man, that sucks! Hopefully it gets to you quickly. I'd still like to get the Rocket Moth. I'll have to wait until things level out a bit. I've ordered the new Northlands disc a couple of weeks ago. It's coming from the UK, so hope it gets here soon. E |

Literate lyrics and exceptional musical support. A near perfect symbiotic relationship between lyrical and musical composition, I imagine two autonomous units, Fish(Lyrics) and the band(music) in perfect balance.
Now while I'm at it, will someone please explain post-Fish Marillion. With one major exception, Brave, of course, I find it all to be as bland as beige against beige. Mostly without shape and completely forgettable. People love much of it so I must be wrong in some way. To use visual art terms (I'm a painter), I suspect its a long history of much preferring Classicism and its legacy over Romanticism, and its legacy especially Impressionism. Fish era Marillion is David, Cezanne and Seraut. Post-Fish Marillion is Monet, Renoir and Sisley.

Anorak In the UK Live on now. Map Of The World is blasting out in my poor old ears now, a gorgeous song.
This, my friends, is why h-era Marillion reaches the parts other music cannot reach. Thoughtful, beautiful, and thoroughly uplifting. I'm in rather a good mood tonight ![]() Edited by lazland - December 06 2014 at 16:15 |
