Nice collection, I remember seeing some of those Marrillion box sets for sale and thought they were good value with the blu ray discs included but I have never really given Marillion a chance, what album would you recommned to get into them?

Clutching At Straws (1987) is very good to start with, last one of the Fish era.

Of the Hogarth ones, Season's End (1989) is a nice ease-in, well-structured songs and a great atmosphere.

The blu rays are very good - each one has a very detailed documentary and they maximise the space used with decent 5.1. mixes and good bonus tracks.

Only Marillion album I've owned was 'Marbles' from the mid 2000s, couple of good singles on that

Currently listening to this, good album if you like folk rock / prog rock, he sings in Breton language

WFH yesterday so spun some records that hadn't been out in a while;

Joel Culpepper - Sgt Culpepper - psychedelic soul stomper, like a cross between Prince and Marvin.

Angel Olsen - Burn your fire for no witness. Think its still the best one she's made, just lovely americana type stuff with her excellent voice.

Beck - Morning Phase. Sad beck is sometimes just the tonic. and it's the 10th anniversary this week.

Tribe called quest - Midnight Marauders. top drawer old school hip hop.

Talking Heads - Fear of music. maybe the best lp by my favourite band right now.

CMAT - if my wife knew.... - this girl can do no wrong!

Listening to the new albums by MGMT and Real Estate both released today.

MGMT is a bit of a mixed bag like their last album, but "Nothing to Declare" is really lovely and one of my favourites of the year so far

Real Estate is largely more of the same which I have no problem with.

The Mix Up. An instrumental album by the Beastie Boys.

I'm putting on a Beasties tribute night this eve so just brushing up.

Talking Heads - Naked

Prefab Sprout - From Langley Park To Memphis (Japanese SHM CD)

Hannya Red on Samurai Music. Nightmarishly dark relatively contemporary drum & bass.

The Last Dinner Party - PRELUDE TO ECSTASY

I have no idea if they are "industry plants" or whatever. I will say that the album is very accomplished for a debut by a band that doesn't even have a drummer.

I'd like to say that I haven't been blown away, but, yep, there's no denying some of the songs.

Been listing to this album based on the reccomendation of @NewbridgeIR earlier in this thread. I never really listened to much Marillion before but this album sounds strangely familiar to me although am not sure why!

The singles (Incommunicado, Sugar Mice and to a lesser extent Warm Wet Circles) got a lot of radio play at the time?

The only song I was familiar with before listening to the full album was Incommunicado. I looked up the box set but it must have increased quite a bit in price but will keep an eye out for it. Have listend to Missplaced Childhood aswell and actually have Seasons End playing as I type this!

This classic is on the turntable at the moment.

Good album

The single mix of Sultans Of Swing seems to have been totally forgotten. Way better than the album version but never gets compiled anywhere.

Say Your Number

Divine Conspiracy by Epica.

Pretentious and bombastic, but a brilliant album.

Sacred Reich - Surf Nicaragua.

Another band to play the delightful McGonagles back in the day.

Met the band who were as nice as pie outside before the gig.

dasdog

Mine's a little more battle weary blade - I couldn't tell you if we met them before or after the gig but with McGonagles it was usually after.

Yeah they were outside the front door a couple of hours before the gig.

Got ticket signed as well by Greg, Wiley and Phil.

HalloweenJack

New Blue Sun by André 3000.

Still want to hear more of him rapping but this is nice and relaxing. Perfect to have in the background if you're doing something else. Not what I would have expected whatsoever from an album of his, though I'm also not surprised he would go in such a direction.

Think music you would hear in the background of a New Age shop.

Had a nasty virus all week so only recovering and beginning to enjoy music again today. Thankfully the day was lifted by Telefís, Emma Ruth Rundle, Brahms, Carlos Montoya and now Torn & Roho.

I'm having a house party tonight

Modjo by Modjo.

One hit wonders but actually quite a decent album, like a more disco version of Homework by Daft Punk.

Keith Andrews

The Corrs Unplugged Album :)
