What I'm listening to - Marillion

I picked up the new cd by Marillion today, it's entitled 'Marbles'. They started as the group Electric Gypsy in 79. Two of the members formed Silmarillion later that year, then renamed themselves Marillion in 80. The lineup has changed several times, but has been the same 5 guys since 89. They are from the UK and if it weren't for two of the guys apperaing onstage with Dream Theater on their 'Once in a Livetime' DVD, I would have probably never heard of them. It's hard to describe the music, pretty mello, and lyrically driven, but if you go to their website you can check out samples from the new album as well as their older stuff. Worth a listen for sure.
