EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD Ep74
🕑 Added 2022-03-24 16:49:10 +0000 UTCWe thought we were going to finish the first disc of Marbles in this episode, but as it turned out... we only managed to cover another two tracks (and the Marbles interludes). Turns out that covering this album is going to be even bigger job than we anticipated.
We do talk about the stories behind Marbles I-IV, Genie and The Only Unforgivable Thing, and offer our insights and opinions. Plus! What do crabs have to do with it all?

I am LOVING the slow unwrapping of this album on the pod. Hoping that the episodes to come take a couple of tracks each show. This album deserves the deep dive, the forensic details, the overthinking!!

I mean the bell in the marvellous section I have lost the stars and the sky that you also highlight in the cast

It is funny since after reading your comment I listen to you saying it in the podcast. As I said it defines Marillion: those double solos and something I miss a lot: the keyboard bells very rarely played by Kelly (I think I remember Bell in the Sea and some other in Seasons end). Maybe in HITR? Regarding HITR I really look forward for your review since for me is a gem of moder prog music (maybe not entirely rock) quite despised by many fans.

Totally agree. The only time I have listened to it/watched it is in the Marbles in the Park and Out of the Box bluray. Never in my presence.

I agree. I'm surprised it doesn't get played more, or isn't ranked up there in the pantheon of great Marillion songs.
Pep
The Only Unforgiveable Thing is one of my favourite songs of Marillion. Quite underrated. It encapsules everything I expect from them.
