The hit single, 'Market Square Heroes' whilst being adequate, is one of the weaker pieces 'Tux On' is more restrained, but builds menacingly. 'Lady Nina' is another wonderful piece, with a superbly melodic solo from Mr 'Cinderella Search' is another excellent piece, as is 'Three Boats Down From TheĬandy'. Also on here are such gems as 'Charting The Single'Ī B side which is, although simplistic and lightweight, again for me, memorable. That too is good, but this definitive version is better, especially the Remastered two disc version of 'Script' which contains a slightly different, and longer Story line and vocal performance, superb keyboards, guitar work that surfaces to greatĮffect at the right time, varied movements and an excellent melody. If Genesis had neverĮxisted, this would be regarded as a classic of prog rock. Ready' is better than anything Phil's band were doing at the time. Still are, my favourite band, and this, which could have been a follow up to 'Supper's Influence on display here, but, for me, that only enhances its qualities. Smacks of plagiarism, and most critics knock it mercilessly for the rather large Genesis I make no apologies for saying 'Grendel' is my favourite Marillion track.
The strength of the material is such that this could have been a stand alone album all by Personally, I rate this one of their best albums! Yes, I know it is all B sides and extras, but Posted Wednesday, Octo| Review this album | Report (Review #12197) It is interesting too that the song-writing credits for this piece, which consists largely of a traditional Scottish song, are claimed by the band.Ī worthwhile collection of rare tracks, which offers a cost effective way of obtaining them without breaking the bank. While this may well be an enjoyable climax to a live concert, it is a rather tedious indulgence when taken out of context. This is especially apparent with the live "Margaret" which ends the album. Inevitably, being a collection of on the whole pretty good B sides, there is a lack of cohesion and continuity to the album. It's a pity really, as it's a distraction from what is in fact an excellent piece of music, which had remained largely hidden until this collection was released. The opening track, "Grendel", has been the subject of repeated debate in the forum of this site, due to the strong similarities on one part of it, with the "Apocalypse in 9/8" section of "Supper's ready" by Genesis. While that connotation may indeed be applicable to some of the content, others such as the three tracks from the "Market Square heroes" EP would be worthy of inclusion on any Fish era album. Indeed, the title rather belittles what is on offer here, as it may imply a collection of sub-standard tracks. With this collection from Marillion however there is good reason to gather these tracks together to form an album. With many collections of B sides, outtakes, non-album singles, live and alternative versions, etc., you can often be distracted by the sound of the barrel being scraped.

The repetitive "Charting the singles" has a bit the Fugazi sound, full of loud ambient organ. Nothing to do with the usual style of Marillion: it more sounds like a jam session, withĬontinuous drums slightly reminding some very early IQ stuff, especially "For Christ's sake". The live sound of "Margaret" is bland, although the track is interesting: "Margaret" has Good than the weakest part on "Misplaced childhood". "Freaks" has more the "Misplaced childhood" sonority, but it is less "Cinderella search" has an excellent guitar solo too: thisĬatchy, progressive & melodic track could easily have been put on the "Script's from a
"Lady Nina" is very catchy and addictive, still having anĪlmost perfect loud & sustained guitar solo: however, the lush version on "Brief encounter" "Tux on" really sounds modern, ambient, floating, and it hasĪn OUTSTANDING emotional, loud & sustained guitar solo at the end: it definitely has Grendel is one of the most progressive track from Marillion:ġ7 minutes of delightful progressive elements, reminding IQ and Genesis: there is even a Grendel has an almost exact interpretation of a popular Genesis' "Supper's ready" part Īfter that part comes a WONDERFUL echoed, melodic and sustained guitar solo, one of myįavorites from Steve Rothery. There are old tracks, like Grendel and Margaret. Marillion made some tracks which did not appear on regular albums, so they made a fullĪlbum with them: "B-sides themselves".
