Music Review: A Different Twist on the Hits!
Rating: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised by this release. Someone had told me that this was an "Acoustic" release - and was prepared for songs with not much substance - but was surprised by what I heard. Different instrumentation altogether - on the softer side and the lighter side of percussion - but different enough from the originals that these tracks really stand out. In fact, I want to go back to the original versions and see which version I like better but I'm inclined to say that the versions included here really are an improvement over the original. Be aware of the hidden track of "Cannibal Surf Babe" that is interesting. Two previously unreleased tracks on the CD are also enjoyable - even though "It's Not Your Fault" lacks a little bit of depth and is a bit repetitious (how many times can you possibly say the refrain in one song). They take tracks all the way back to the beginning of the Hogarth years - which I thought was interesting. They seemed to pull at least one track from every release that Hogarth did. Altogether this eclectic compilation is definitely worth having and is not just another "greatest hits" release. If you like the "harder" style Marillion this release is not for you - but if you like something on the mellower side and also "tame" then you will be pleased.

Description of Less Is More
Marillion are one of the UK music scene's best-kept secrets and to be considered as the founders of the Neo-Progressive genre; purveyors of soulful, powerful, and often deeply moving music, whose blistering live shows leave their audiences breathless.Steve Hogarth the charismatic lead singer, replaced Fish after four albums, is a former member of The Europeans and some-time collaborator with The The and Julian Cope and brought a new heart and energy to the band. Together with Steve Rothery (guitar), Mark Kelly (keyboards), Pete Trewavas (bass), and Ian Mosley (drums) he reinvigorated and constantly redefined Marillion's sound.
In the face of ignorance and apathy, Marillion continue to defy preconceptions and labeling. The band has evolved into a vibrant musical force - to those who already love Marillion, they're something special; to everyone else they're a love affair waiting to happen.
