Prog-Watch 230
Terry’s back this week, and he and the Squatch take a special, in depth look at one of the most important, critically acclaimed albums of Hogarth-era Marillion—the 1994 concept album ‘Brave’! The guys play several tracks and get into the story behind the album, the multiple endings, and various other interesting things which Terry (being a real Marillion geek) knows all about! They close the show with a new feature—the Classic Corner, in which they play a classic Genesis tune from the Golden Age of Prog!
Marillion was one of the first in the new wave of Neo-Prog bands in the early 1980s. Their recorded output is generally regarded in two distinct eras, delineated by the departure of original frontman Fish in late 1988, and the subsequent arrival of replacement Steve Hogarth in early 1989. (Above is a recent photo of the Hogarth era Marillion.)
