  Marillion Albums & Lyrics @ SongLyricsLibrary.com
With most bands now embracing the benefits of the Internet, Marillion were pioneers in recognising the advantages that could be gained by using it as a tool to reach their existing fans as well as targeting a new audience.
Given this, the band decided in 2000 to adopt a completely new approach to the way their albums were funded and asked their fans to pay for an album over a year ahead of it's release.
Marillion folklore has it that when Steve "H" Hogarth arrived for an audition with the band, he was carrying a red bucket full of tapes of demo's and his previous albums with The Europeans and How We Live.

  Marillion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marillion are widely considered within the industry to have been one of the first acts to have fully recognised and tapped the potential for commercial musicians to interact with their fans via the Internet, circa 1996, and are nowadays often characterised as a Rock 'Web Cottage Industry'.
Hogarth's second album with the band, Holidays In Eden, was the first he wrote in partnership with the band, and includes the song "Dry Land" which Hogarth had written and recorded in a previous project with the band How We Live.
Marillion are currently recording new material with engineer Michael Hunter for their upcoming fourteenth studio album (currently untitled) expected to be released in early 2007.

 BBC - h2g2 - Marillion - The Hogarth Years
It is considered the weakest album they've done in the latter years by the fans, and this also showed in the album charts as it wasn't a hit even though the album has alot of shorter songs that could easily been number ones had the promotion from EMI not started to vane.
Brave is a concept album, based on something Steve Hogarth heard on the radio about a girl who were taken into police custody after she had been wandering the Severn Bridge.
This album received good critiques from several journalists and the fans were delighted to see that the band would continue to release studio albums even when they were short on funds.

 Marillion Album Discussion Volume 4: Anoraknophobia
As many of you know, this album was financed directly by the fans, 12674 diehard fans (myself included, I’m on page 9 of the names, 22 rows from the bottom, last name on the line!) that dropped money on an album before a note was written (I bought two copies).
Anyway, this album was written entirely from scratch, and with Dave Meegan back in the producer’s chair, and the fact that Marillion felt they had to live up to the pressure of 13,000 people having already paid for this album, we were bound for beautiful things.
Marillion starting working with drum loops on this album, and Ian does a masterful job of blending his playing with the loops to create this great sense of motion on this song.

 MARILLION Brave reviews and MP3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Brave may not be an easy listen, but if you give it repeated chances and give it the nessecary time to grow on you, you'll discover that this is truly a great modern prog album.
It is a powerful dark album, the concept is great, i had never paid any attention to the lyrics, it is dark but gee it is well made, i am feeling weird of having had a masterpiece in my collection and not knowing it.
Marillion strived to create an overly atmospheric album in Brave, creating that atmosphere by recording every little nook and cranny of the castle in France in which it was recorded at (Steve Hogarth mentions that with this remastered version you should be able to hear the ghosts).

 BBC - h2g2 - Marillion - Post 1988
As a Marillion album, Season's End was in places musically similar to the Fish era music as Steve Hogarth had yet to fully establish himself at the front of the band.
Interestingly, the vinyl version of this double album came with a double tracked fourth side which would either play the final track, 'Made Again' or just the sound of waves lapping at the shore when the end of the record was reached depending on where the needle fell at the start of the side.
One gets the impression listening to this album that Marillion had, for all intents and purposes, given up on commercial success by this point and were just going to have some fun playing around and making a record.

 Amazon.co.uk: Brave: Music: Marillion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The only fault of Brave (if there is one) is that to be truly appreciated it needs to be listened to as an album - however good each individual track is it can never sound as powerful alone as when heard in conjunction with the whole piece.
The title of this album is highly appropriate - you'd have had to have been brave (or just plain mad) to have released a concept album at the exact moment Britpop was kicking into life.
There is content on this album, along with most of their others, that hasn’t been salvaged from label managed rehearsal sessions or with the eye--or should that be ear--for easy radio play or the equally calculated, adolescent ‘careerocide’ alternatives offered by Radiohead and others.

 Brave by Marillion (lyrics & reviews)
Brave is the most ambitious album Marillion ever made (also the best one in my opinion).
If any of the albums from Marillion is too commercial, it's Holidays In Eden where Brave returns to art and their progressive roots.
Brave is a decent album, but I don't consider it to be a classic.

 MARILLION discography, MP3 and reviews

The album, dealing with the problems of drug addiction and alcoholism, was the final album to be made with Fish as front man and lyricist.
Their album "Brave", considered one of the modern masterpieces of progressive rock, is a concept piece about a young girl that contemplates suicide on a bridge.

Released shortly after the album was cult film director Richard Stanley's film version of the album.
Brave started out like any of our albums, with jam sessions, a handful of finished lyrics from John Helmer, and disparate streams of thought from yours truly.
I can't remember how much made it onto the album from these sessions, but it was such a pleasure to just sit back and listen to the band create something from nothing and keep it going and developing purely by using that special gift they had of "inter-band telepathy".

 Amazon.ca: Marillion - Brave: The Movie: DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Brave is Richard Stanley's vision of life in the modern landscape as inspired by the Marillion album of the same name.
His next film, DUST DEVIL (1992) was as wildly visual and cinematically unique as his previous work, and BRAVE is a further exploration into surreal cinema with Marillion providing the soundtrack and loosely fitted plot about a troubled young girl driven to attempted suicide by her use of drugs, excessive alienation and traumatic rape.
The BRAVE film can easily be called the band's most ambitious endeavor yet, as it was their first exploration into film, a daunting task that eclipsed all of their previous work with music video.

Fish and bassist Diz were good friends who traveled together to Aylesbury and both joined Marillion in 1981 (at the same time the band dropped the original 'Sil-' from their name).
During the promotional tour for the debut album, Mick left the band and was succeeded by several temporary drummers until Ian Mosley joined in 1984.
She books and promoters all the band's gigs worldwide, runs the hugely successful Marillion Weekends, liaises with the distribution companies round the world to try and make the various releases run smoothly and is always looking for the next press and PR opportunity.

 Interview with Mark Kelly of Marillion
I agree with this decision, and I think having Brave live in its entirety on the second side showcases their live skills convicingly, and will probably end up converting a lot of fans who are still stuck in the Fish-Marillion era (like I was).
Mark agrees with the view that Brave is one of the best Marillion albums recorded: "It's the hardest Marillion album there is. We set out to do something without compromises and Brave is the result." However, while Brave won critical acclaim, it didn't sell as well as EMI wanted.
Marillion also have freedom to pursue solo releases---EMI has a lot of control over whether a band member's solo work should be released by them or not, and Castle records basically gives the artist the freedom to go to any record label.

 Marillion & Fish
Marillion's music shone as a beacon in the darkness of the 80s, an often grim decade where style took precedence over content, where the dominant artists were talentless poseurs more interested in hairstyles than music.
Marillion's worst album ever, this was a failed attempt at a more commercial sound.

That was the album that got me really excited to hear the next one.......which disappointed me. (that was Radiation) Then when I heard.com, I almost gave up on the band completely.
ITs amazing cause at all the live Marillion show H goes "here's a song for the fans" and its always a song from Strange Engine album...I think 80 Days is a BEAutiFUL song, its probably my 2nd favorite marillion album, Season's End being first....

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The album closes with "If My Heart Were A Ball It Would Roll Uphill" which is as funky as "Quartz," but this is a dark and dirty funk; it's grinding, sultry, angular and tough.
What Marillion have recaptured is what makes them Marillion, those things that should come through whether they are playing blues, roots rock, jazzy-funk or progressive rock.
This is Marillion as we've come to know them, and Marillion in the 21st Century, and the mixture seems to have found the right balance.

I'd heard of Marillion because of Pete's working with Transatlantic which is a very impressive prog super group, since I knew the bands for the other member I figured these guys deserved a shot.
He was good on the previous album, but he's great here.
At the time when this album came out (1989) I was still recovering from Fish's departure from the band, and it took me a couple of years to convince myself to get it.
