Description
Often referred to as the leaders of the neo-progressive movement of the early '80s, Marillion is a great deal more than that. They are purveyors of soulful, powerful, and deeply-moving music, with a long-standing reputation of impressive live shows and an imposing, faithful and loyal global fan base. As the first of their peers, Marillion have started to embrace the potential of the internet for both their commercial approach and to interact with their audience. Throughout their over 35 year-long career and over 15 million records sold they have become the most outstanding representatives of their genre. With their latest studio album 'F*** Everyone And Run (F E A R)', their second one released by earMUSIC and the band's highest charting album across the globe since Steve Hogarth joined in 1989, Marillion have shown that they are as brilliant and vital as ever. From January through September 2018 a carefully curated and strictly limited and numbered series of Marillion live albums will be released in retail stores across the globe for the very first time. Each of these individual concerts perfectly captures the unique magic around Marillion. This Limited Edition series consists of 10 fantastic live albums, each limited to 5,000 copies worldwide, which will be released in pairs in a bi-monthly cycle.

Size Matters was recorded during a Marillion Weekend in Port Zélande in 2009.

Holidays in Eden was during a Marillion Weekend in Port Zélande, The Netherlands in 2011.

Unplugged At The Walls was recorded in 1998 in a small town on the Welsh border called Oswestry. The location of being close to the English sea served as a perfect setting for an intimate atmosphere. It just happened that band received a week of free food at a local restaurant in exchange for a small acoustic session in their premises. Thus Unplugged At The Walls was born.

Tumbling Down The Years was recorded on Saturday night during the Marillion Weekend at Centre Parcs, Port Zélande, The Netherlands in 2009.

Smoke and Mirrors were recorded on Saturday and Sunday of the Marillion Weekend in Minehead, England in 2005. Together the two performances work as an equilibrium; Smoke on Saturday featuring Marillion's most up-beat and high-energy songs and Mirrors on Sunday showcasing the slower and more atmospheric side of the band.

I love Marillion but they're joining the handful of artists who are releasing too much live stuff for both my wallet & my ears.

This is going to be a year-long series of live 2CD sets. The first four releases have now been announced, and updated details are in the first post.

I'll be watching for Fish era live stuff; but unless they do hi-res I'm in pretty good shape there also.
