Marillion - Out of This World (From "Less is More" CD)

Marillion are one of the UK music scene's best kept secrets and are considered as the founders of the Neo-Progressive genre; purveyors of soulful, powerful, and often deeply-moving music, whose blistering live shows leave their audiences breathless.
Steve Hogarth the charismatic lead singer, who replaced Fish after four albums, is a former member of The Europeans, and some-time collaborator with The The and Julian Cope, and brought a new heart and energy to the band.
Together with Steve Rothery (guitar), Mark Kelly (keyboards), Pete Trewavas (bass), and Ian Mosley (drums) he reinvigorated and constantly redefined Marillion's sound.
When singles "Don't Hurt Yourself" and "You're Gone" breached the UK top 20 - the latter making it all the way to number 7 - jaws dropped right across the music world.
In the face of ignorance and apathy, Marillion continue to defy preconceptions and labelling. The band has evolved into a vibrant musical force - to those who already love Marillion, they're something special; to everyone else they're a love affair waiting to happen.

"There are a million bands who kick ass, but just a few, like Marillion, who really move people" - Kerrang

"The best-kept secret in the music industry" - Sound on Sound

"Highly dramatic, emotional, dynamic stuff" - The Guardian


The new studio album from Marillion is once again the proof of the band's constant evolution. As the title suggests, Marillion have picked 12 of their own favourites (hits and hidden gems) and reduced them to the minimum structure possible to reconstruct them with an intimate and minimalistic approach.
"Less is More" is Marillion's 16th studio album and it is built on fans favourite repertoire from albums like "Brave, "Seasons End" and "Marbles", titles that already clarified the unbelievable talent of all band members and defined their sound in a new way.
Not a live album and not even an unplugged album; "Less is More" is "Marillion reinterpreting Marillion". It's a full-band studio recording - no remixes. 12 stunning completely new performances. An avantgarde pop experiment, Marillion limited themselves to the intimate format, using only acoustic instruments - reducing the arrangements to the bare essentials.
Marillion are to shine new light onto their songs when they present them live in an acoustic format in the upcoming tour. The band will be selecting songs, some of which they have never performed live, giving them new arrangements and a new edge.

In my opinion, the original song is one of the only songs that comes very close to "perfect". This one ain't too far behind...amazing. Marillion, you never cease to impress

@kevjards I was a lover of Genesis before Gabriel left and they became a backing band for Phil Collins. They were legendary till that point. I first heard Marillion in the early 80s on the radio and I had no idea who they were but my first thought was Genesis are back. (They had left a big hole in my life LOL). So I fully understand where you see the similarities. They are one in the same. Listen to Genesis, " Supper's Ready," and then Marillion's " Grendel" and you will see how close they are.

This song was dedicated to my great great uncle donald campbell, who held several land and water speed records and is the only man to hold the land and water speed record in the same year, who died in his final attempt to set the water speed record, in which the boat known as the bluebird K7 crashed and caused instant death

[RonaldEmmis]

A pretty good song, but my favorite of theirs is still "Kayleigh."

I love that song.
