Finally the twelfth album is here: Anoraknophobia. And it´s different... again. A lot of influences, a lot of new sounds and ideas, but the "old" Marillion shine through, still. Listen to "When I meet God" or "Map of the World", and if these don´t grab your, I cannot help you....

November 00:

October 99:
marillion.com, the eleventh Marillion studio album has been released. Read my personal review!

The packaging is not the same in all countries. At the moment it seems that all European countries have the digipack packaging, except Germany which has a jewel case CD. Biggest difference: in the German booklet three of four pages containing the fan pics are a bit darkened, while the Digipack has a seperate booklet and the photo gallery is the inner sleeve of the pack itself and all photos are clear!

There will be no bonus tracks on the US- and Japan-releases of m.com.
October 99:
The official Marillion website has been completely reworked. It contains infos about the album, soundclips of all songs, lyrics, a new band biography and much more. CHECK IT OUT!!!

The new album will contain a postcard where you can order an enhanced bonus CD with different material, multimedia gadgets, etc.

September 99:
The band have announced that they finished mixing the new album, and are on target to release in mid-ctober. tracks on the album have been mixed nick davis (who produced the debut album),

June 99:

GREAT NEWS from Racket Club and the Boys! The Eleventh Studio Album is almost recorded and Marillion are about to mix the album. From what we heard the album is stunning, and it contains the two "new" tracks from the XMas-CD ("Tumble down the Years" and "Interior Lulu" in reworked versions). The information below is from the Web UK newsletter:

Interior Lulu - completely re-worked and now stretching to 20 minutes! Fear it!

A Legacy - Cathedral Wall Part 2.If Cathedral Wall was the James Bond theme, this is the bad guy's music! Well, apart from the poppy 70´s-style chorus.

Tumble Down the Years - a bit grittier than the 'radiation' session, heading towards The Byrds.

Built-in Bastard Radar - "...Every chick on earth's got built-in bastard radar" AND a fuzz-bass solo - pure Rock´n´ Roll!!!!

Upside Down - wild guitar effects, and a slow build to a huge end: With a hidden bit of Prince, "the artist", from his "Diamonds and Pearls" era...

Rich - starts off 70's rock, but ends up with a psychedelic world-beat style jam.

Deserve - straight forward driving rock.. "You get what you deserve..." - could be the single

The Forks of the Lightning - h says it is “the Hendrix ballad he never wrote.”

This House Aches - the working title was “the Massive Attack song.” Dub reggae land.

Although nine songs are being worked on not all may make it to the album....
