Between You And Me - A Podcast About Marillion

We're taking a breather from F.E.A.R. for a week, given all the heavy subject matter in recent episodes. It wasn't the plan, but this BYAMPOD became about the potential impact of AI on music.

If you skip the first 20 or so minutes, this episode settles down into a fun chat about some of the origins surrounding Marillion's F.E.A.R. album. However, it's hard to discuss the topics this album covers without touching on politics to some degree. And so, for better or worse, we do...

This episode we dig into the potential impact of AI on the music industry before tackling the thorny issue of whether Marillion has ever been a political band - and if they'd be able to release the track Gaza in the current climate...

This week we're returning to the world of Neo-Prog, and finally get to the bottom of why - for us at least - Marillion shouldn't be lumped in alongside all the Neo-prog bands (IQ, Pendragon, et al) they started alongside.Find us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffoWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

This ep was inspired by some damning criticism of Marillion. We discuss what it is that set them apart from their early-80s Neo-prog peers... before asking where they belong today.

We're taking a hiatus from Sounds The Can't Be Made to talk about the final night of Marillion's Tour Before Christmas. We trekked out in the rain to the Camden Roundhouse where... well, suffice to say it wasn't the night we'd hoped for.

Part three of our Sounds That Can't Be Made retrospective deals with the title track, Pour my Love, and Power.

There's no way we can talk about Marillion's Sounds That Can't Be Made without discussing the epic track Gaza... and there's no way of discussing Gaza without discussing certain events that are happening right now in the Middle East.
