Description
Originally released in 1991, 'Holidays in Eden' was Marillion's sixth studio album and second with Steve Hogarth on lead vocals. Their previous album and first with Hogarth, 'Season's End' (1989), was written fairly quickly, leaning on a large amount of material already being written prior to Hogarth's arrival. 'Holidays in Eden' brought about a different challenge to the band's new line-up, having to start from scratch with this new dynamic, which they talk about extensively within the book and documentary in the 3CD/Blu-ray deluxe edition.

From an interview with Steve Rothery by eon music (it also mentions the plan to go beyond the EMI albums):

Back to the deluxe editions series, and which one is coming next?

‘Holidays in Eden’ will be the next one, which has already been remixed by Steven Taylor who did an incredible job. It’s put a lot of the rock ‘n’ roll back into it. I think people are going to be blown away by it. I know I was. I always struggled with the aspect of the sound of ‘Holidays in Eden’, but he’s really made it sound quite powerful and magical.

The struggle you mention, is that because it’s got quite a polished production?

Exactly. He reduced some of the polish. He’s a great mixer. He’s the guy who did the Kate Bush live ‘Before the Dawn’ album, and he’s done a couple of mixes for me for my next solo album, and he’s just great at capturing that energy, really. He understands guitars, and he’s worked with everyone from Rush to XTC. If you look at his CV on Wikipedia, he really has been there.

Speaking of which, ‘Radiation’ is probably the best example of a Marillion album that has benefited from a remix, with the ‘Radiation 2013’ release.

Yeah. I think Mike [Hunter] did a great job. The original album, I struggled with. I was under a lot of pressure to have a different approach in terms of guitar sounds, and I did my best. I think the original mixes of the album just didn’t have the magic maybe, that some of our other releases have had, and I think the 2013 version goes quite a way to redressing those concerns.

You said you were under pressure to approach playing differently; was that from yourself, the band, or the producer?

There was just… how can you say in a politically correct way? There was a feeling within certain elements that my guitar sounds, I should try and do something a little bit more high-energy and raw. Maybe they had a point; the whole Roland, chorused sound that I’d used since ‘Fugazi’, I’d used quite a bit [laughing]! But you know, you can find a happy medium with that, and I think something like ‘Born to Run’ has the best of both worlds. You don’t have to throw everything away that you’ve built up over the previous thirty-odd years away. But anyway, it was good to experiment, but I’d like to think I know what is a good guitar sound!

I suppose the logical question is, given the format of the EMI deluxe reissues, is there a temptation to continue the series, with the Castle-era albums and beyond?

Oh, I think everything eventually will be released in the same kind of format. I think there’s a desire from our audience to have that, to have like, the ultimate version and the live stuff, any sort of writing stuff. More of the same, I suppose really. I mean, we’re only going to make so many albums in our career, so you want the best possible version of each one.

I'm excited to see this release sometime in 2022, but even more excited about Seasons End which will likely follow in 2023. Both great albums.

Updated with full track listing.

I didn’t see a link yet or cover art, but it may be out there somewhere.

The live show is previously unreleased, although the September 29 Hammersmith Odeon show was previously tapped for part of the Made Again live album. The main early criticism of this box set is having all the b-sides/demos/etc. on the Blu-ray rather than a CD, which I would have also preferred.

For those who haven't seen it, the German show on the Blu-ray is a corker, one of my favorites from this era of the band. I am very much looking forward to upgrading from my old VHS tape!

I saw this tour twice in Philly and though this album is a bit weak, the good songs were very good and they scored three hits from it, all of which were excellent.

That Rockpalast show in Germany was pretty much what I saw in Philly with a few different songs and was great.

After one of the shows we met the band and I had nothing for them to sign, so all 5 guys signed the sneakers I was wearing.

Why are the b-sides on the damn Blu-Ray again?

Nobody on the band’s side will plainly admit it, but it seems to be a cost-saving measure by EMI to have 4-disc sets rather than the 5-disc sets we had earlier in the reissue series.

Understandable, but very disappointing.

I’d rather have the live audio recording on the Blu-Ray than the b-sides.

I received my copy from Marillion's Racket Records yesterday and, like the previous six deluxe editions in this series, it's a thing of beauty. The surround sound mix is really nice. I've played about a half hour of the Rockpalast video which has been enjoyable, and it reminded me of my first Marillion concert in 1992. Looking forward to watching the rest of it (hopefully tonight) and checking out the making-of feature.

Can't wait for them to wrap up these releases next year with Seasons End, which is in my top 3 Hogarth-era albums.
