Disco de Marillion: “Anorak In The Uk: Live”

A new live album in the shops! Marillion are a band that like to entertain and with this album they do that. From the opening sample of "Separated Out" to the closing note of "Easter" Marillion are giving us a great show. Included are a nice collection of songs from the last studio album. Some of these songs, I now prefer over their studio incarnation. The energy trasferred by the audience augments the vibe, particularly on "Quartz."

Sorry to dissappoint anybody expecting "Kayleigh," "Lavendar," or any songs of the Fish era. This collection is all h. And h gives his all, IMO.

I have this retail version as well as the double disc version available only from Marillion themselves. For the causual listener, this collection will serve you well. For the true die-hard, you should already have your double disc version on the way.

Recommmended listening strategy for this I'm gonna swipe from the "Brave" liner notes. Play it LOUD with the lights off.

This is absolutely the best "live" cd ever. Every second makes you feel you are right there. The songs speak for themselves but for the uninitiated this is a perfect time to discover a great band in peak "live" form. I have 2cd version but either way you won't go wrong! Coldplay and Radiohead fans needing a new band to seek their teeth into get this NOW!!!!!

After listening to the studio versions of these songs it was a must to hear them live. I have the double cd from marillion.com and it is fantastic. Hearing When I Meet God and This is the 21st

Century live is a such a treat. This is candy for the ears. Turn the lights down and the volume up and get ready to enjoy. This is so good that I am going to go back and purchase the other live cd's that can only be had at their sight. And who knows, maybe one day we will again get the pleasure of seeing Marillion live in the USA.
