Artist : Marillion

Album : With Friends at St David's

Release Date : 04-03-2021

Added : 05-04-2021

At the end of 2019 was released on 'With Friends from the Orchestra', and for those who had been frustrated by the too short duration of this album, the English of 'Marillion' do it again with the string quartet 'In Praise Of Folly', the horn player 'Sam Morris' and the flautist 'Emma Halnan' with this time a real concert lasting more than two hours and with a DVD/Blu-ray which will be released at the end of May 2021 and which will combine the two recordings with some extracts from other concerts. In this new set list, we see 'Gaza' from the album 'Sounds That Can' t Be Made' from 2012 which borders on 20 minutes, 'The New Kings' from the 'F*** Everyone And Run (FEAR)' from 2016 and the energetic 'Separated Out' of the album 'Anoraknophobia' renamed for the occasion 'Zeparated Out' for the wink to one of the pioneers of rock with this magnificent orchestral aside of 'Kashmir' (the super group 'Sons of Apollo' had also made a cover of this title in the last live 'Live With The Plovdiv Psychotic Symphony'). In short, for the fans of the group and more generally, for all those who like the long developments of a rich and refined progressive, this concert given by the English of 'Marillion' in Cardiff in 2019 is still an essential album to add at their ideal collection of music and, patiently awaiting the DVD/blu-ray release, you can preview the recording with first, the teaser (see above) and the title 'Seasons End'...
