The group formed in Aylesbury, England in 1978, and adopted their original name, Silmarillion, from the title of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel. Initially, Marillion comprised guitarist Steve Rothery, bassist Doug Irvine, keyboardist Brian Jelliman and drummer Mick Pointer, but after recording "The Web," an instrumental demo, they recruited vocalist Fish (born Derek Dick) and bassist Diz Minnett. Prior to recording their debut single "Market Square Heroes," keyboardist Mark Kelly and bassist Pete Trewavas replaced Jelliman and Minnett; Marillion issued its debut album Script for a Jester's Tear in 1983, and on the strength of their relentless touring schedule the group won a loyal following. With new drummer Ian Mosely (formerly of Curved Air) firmly in place, they returned to the studio for 1984's Fugazi, which streamlined the intricacies of the group's prog rock leanings in favor of a more straight-ahead hard rock identity; the refinements paid off, and both "Assassin" and "Punch and Judy" became British hits. With 1985's Misplaced Childhood, an elaborate conceptual album reflecting Fish's formative experiences, Marillion earned its greatest success to date; the lush ballad "Kayleigh" reached the number two position on the U.K. charts, and became a hit in the U.S. as well. The follow-up, "Lavender," was also a smash, but the group began crumbling: Fish developed alcohol and drug problems, and egos ran rampant. After 1987's Clutching at Straws (and the 1988 live effort The Thieving Magpie), Fish left the band for a solo career. The initial release of post-Fish Marillion did not substantially alter the sound the band had displayed on Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws. The addition of lyricist John Helmer and lyricist/vocalist Steve Hogarth came after the band had developed much of the musical material for Season's End and few alterations in style were made. The follow-up, Holidays in Eden, was intended as a more mainstream rock album but failed to attract a wider audience. Marillion's record label, EMI, gave the band a higher budget for the next album and the result of 15 months labor was Brave, a concept album that mixed classic symphonic progressive rock with standard rock. The following release, Afraid of Sunlight, considerably altered the band's approach with great success — it is the most consistent Marillion release to date. Following Afraid of Sunlight, band members split up briefly to record side projects. Hogarth released Ice Cream Genius under the name h, Rothery formed the Wishing Tree (which produced Carnival of Souls), and Mosely and Trewavas joined Iris for Crossing the Desert. Both Rothery's and Hogarth's projects were very acoustic in nature, and when the band reformed for This Strange Engine in 1997, Marillion's style changed again to a softer sound. Following the release of This Strange Engine, Marillion scheduled a European tour, but keyboardist Kelly posted an Internet message stating that the band would not tour the United States because of lack of record-company support. Fans of the band worldwide joined forces to raise over $60,000 to underwrite the tour, and the band undertook their largest North American tour since Holidays in Eden. In 1998, the band returned to the studio to record their tenth album, Radiation. Again changing styles, the effort showed the influences of the Beatles and Radiohead, specifically OK Computer. Marillion.com followed in 1999. — Jason Ankeny & Dale Jensen WHAT'S FAF? FAF releases are not about the quantity of releases, nor speed. FAF is strictly about Quality. How many times have you downloaded that album you really wanted only to find out it pops and skips throughout the entire rip. The ripper never bothered to listen to his release or use good software. Well, we decided not to bitch and do something about it. Any Audio Release you see from us will be ripped with Exact Audio Copy (EAC) and encoded with the LAME mp3 plugin for maximum compression quality (it doesn't get any better than this, we've tested them all). Unlike most other audio extracters EAC uses a "Secure" reading method. This means that all audio sectors are read at least twice (other ripping programs read it only one time). When a read error occurs EAC will reread the audio data up to 82x to get the correct data. EAC takes significantly longer to rip a cd because of this precision, and that is the price we are willing to pay to bring you the highest quality music. For people wanting the best rips possible this is not a problem, but for those others ripping and shipping so they can "win the race": this program is not for you. The best thing about EAC is that it's free and part of the open MP3 movement. We don't want to hide the technology we use, if anything we are going to encourage you to use it. LEARN MORE ABOUT EAC HERE http://www.ping.be/satcp/tutorials.htm LEARN MORE ABOUT LAME HERE http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/ WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP -Start by learning to use EAC and LAME. -Support your local music and club scene, after all when they become famous you can tell your kids that you saw them in some shitty club when they were nobodies. -Don't be afraid to question the way things are, push the envelope. |
