I had Marbles recommended to me as my first H-Era Marillion album, I have to agree it is fantastic especially Neverland. The thing I have found with the H-Era stuff I have listened to is that it doesn't click straight away, and they're definitely 'headphone albums', Brave especially because as brilliant as it is it took a few listens to really grasp how amazing it is.
That said I might not be the best person to recommend material as I only have Marbles, Sounds and Brave from the H-Era, really need to seek out more.
