BTW.  How many of you Marillion fans have the B'Sides Themselves CD?  I was going through my collection and I never put this on my I-Pod.  I'm doing that tonight.

I don't have it, but aren't most or all of those tracks on the various bonus discs for the remasters

Great album! (Just put the slab of vinyl on last week)

I think the lion's share of those songs were scattered over bonus discs of the remasters CDs, but I think there was one or two that didn't make it on those. I'd have to check, but the ones that didn't are probably on the Fish singles box.

Boy, I checked out the opening band, Sun Domingo's website.  I like their songs.  I need to check out more of them.

Just got Trewavas' side project Edisons Children (well my wife did) in the mail a few days ago, but I/we haven't had the chance to listen to it yet.

Oh the irony.  Just saw the side project on the IQ forums, did some research, got interested, and came to DTF to get a review.  Went through 4 pages of Marillion thread, only to see this as the last post.   :lol

Reviews seem good, I'd like to know the consensus, though I'll probably buy it anyways.


EDIT: Fuck it, I bought it.

I like it a lot.

Goes to many places, only a few of which Marillion have ever been.

But perhaps we're the only two here that have it now.

It's pretty good, haven't given it a thorough listen to yet, just breeze over it a couple of times.  I will wait till I do it proper justice before passing official judgement on it.

Just a heads up to anyone here reading this - my Marillion survivor is down to the TOP TEN songs!!! (Well, tomorrow night it will be).

Up in the voting right now -

Incubus
Seasons End
The Great Escape
Afraid Of Sunlight
House
Neverland
The Invisible Man
Happiness Is The Road
Trap The Spark
Ocean Cloud
Berlin

And it seems "Trap The Spark" will be voted out, leaving ten left! I'd like to see a few more voters and votes for the Top Ten as I round this (extremely) long survivor toward the finish line!

So I've been meaning to listen to this band, and I noticed that the local music shop just stocked what looked like special edition reissues of several albums like Marillion.com and Marbles for about $19.99 each. These reissues worth getting or should I just buy used copies of them?

If a band is new, getting used is cool way to do it cheap.  If you decide you like them, new is the way to go as it puts money in the band's pocket.

Yeah, but I just bought SB's Octane cheap and found out that there's a special disc with more songs that wasn't in the edition I bought, so I was just wondering if these reissues had any extras worth having like good bonus tracks or something.

That's different.  That was a special edition, not a re-issue.  I have nothing against reissues, except when they put too much crap on them.  The only one I can think of in the Marillion catalog is make sure you get the 2CD Marbles, and not the 1CD version.  As for the rest, a reissue will have all the originals, so at that point its about price point and your desire to give to the band.

Reasons to get those two albums:
Marbles - Contains three of their best epics in years ("The Invisible Man", "Ocean Cloud" and "Neverland"), but be sure to get the 2CD version!
marillion.com - Contains 5 tracks produced by Steven Wilson, and has such awesome tracks as "Interior Lulu" and "House"

Even though I'm not a huge H fan, I have to admit that Ocean Cloud is absolutely amazing, especially at 8:26. The first time I heard that, I almost passed out. it was that damn good. Invisible man is pretty sweet too.

Both tracks are on my H-playlist, along with Easter, which is hands down my favorite Marillion track  :hefdaddy

Honestly, that and Warm Wet Circles are the only Fish songs I'd include in a Marillion top ten.

Finaly 8 Songs, guys...I know there are plenty of fans here, so I'd like to see more than just 2 votes in the last of the Finals rounds if possible.

Also, if you love "Ocean Cloud", you'll vote!!! (For anything other than OC :tup)

So anybody else been following the "favorite song" voting on Marillion's Facebook page?  I wonder if this has anything to do with selecting the setlist for their upcoming US tour....

I have voted everyday. I would assume there is some sort of reason for it. I'm thinking it will probably help shape the set lists.
