It's certainly held a spot on mine for a long, long time, but until last year's "expanded reissue" I'd grown a little cold to the "Marquee Moon" scent.
This, the "Untitled Instrumental" that closes the CD off, sounds like road music for a cooking show or something, one where some saucy chef with a mustache travels the globe on a dirt bike to go native and whip up a few wacky dishes.
I reckon if you're just getting interested in "Marquee Moon" now, then this reissue will give you more to be excited about than anyone's ever had.

Some of the other tracks, such as "Friction" and "Marquee Moon", carry with it a minimalist bass hook and guitar noodling that may faintly remind you of the Talking Heads at the time.
("Marquee Moon" runs almost 10 minutes, but it is so well-constructed and builds up to such a climax that you don't find a note of it unnecessary.
Maybe the best adjective to give the music of this album is "post-psychedlic", rather than try to fit it in with the punk revolution that would happen soon after the album came out.

The singles taken from 'Marquee Moon' were quite successful in the UK, with Top 40 hits for 'Prove It' and 'Foxhole'.
The evergreen 'Marquee Moon' still shows young 'un's like Built To Spill and Superchunk how much there is to know about what two electric guitars playing together can sound like: just listen to the way Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd's guitar lines coil around each other during the ten minute title track.
That 'Marquee Moon' still sounds great over twenty years later is a testament to the power of Tom Verlaine's songwriting and Andy Johns' uncluttered production - it's one of very few albums from that era, Patti Smith's 'Horses' being another, that stubbornly refuse to date.

Buy Marquee Moon first (everyone should own a copy of that), but get this too to hear what Television were capable of live.
"Marquee Moon" is the sound of a world class garage band, and one of the great guitar bands of all rock music playing majestic music, nearly losing control at each curve, but catching themselves before they fell apart.
I still prefer the studio versions of every song on this album to the live ones, but this is the perfect companion to "Marquee Moon." Even though the album was recorded after "Marquee Moon" was released, it works well as a backdrop for that album.

You could hear their approach in many of the most vital acts since the heyday of the NY CBGB scene: Sonic Youth, Pavement and Soundgarden just being a few of the bands obviously in awe of this 8 track debut.
Listening to Marquee Moon is like hearing Talking Heads' quirky multi-layered intelligence way before it actually happened, and the combination of punk venom with artful, considered, poeticism (both musical and lyrical) has provided inspiration for all since.
If punk proved that anything was possible, then Television were one of the reasons - and Marquee Moon will, forever, be far more relevant and inspiring than any band who achieve huge sales by trying (badly - hello, The Strokes) to ape them.

 Boston.com / A&E / Music / CD reviews / Television: Marquee Moon, Adventure, Live at the Old Waldorf
As evidenced in Rhino's remastered reissues of the band's first two albums, 1977's ``Marquee Moon'' and 1978's ``Adventure,'' the foursome was simply one of the great art-garage bands of all time, with fractious lead guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd duking it out in long, molten, furiously poetic solos.
The majestic title cut of ``Marquee Moon'' alone - all 10-plus minutes of it - remains a seminal downtown rave-up, and the reissue's bonus cuts are pretty choice: the original ``Little Johnny Jewel,'' available at long last in its undivided splendor, and alternate takes of three tracks.
The stage was where Television truly took off - you might even call it the primeval jam band if its improvisations didn't bristle with such angular urban energy - and the limited-edition, Internet-only Rhino Handmade release ``Live at the Old Waldorf'' rescues a thundering 1978 San Francisco concert from the bootleg murk.
