I'm a big Rothery fan too - I've been following Marillion since before they got their first record deal.MiniForklift wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 8:57 pm I’ll check that one out, thanks. Not really a Gilmour fan but I’m a huge Steve Rothery fanboi so it could fall in the ballpark

Re: Best albums of 2021
Oh wow, same! I started with all their early albums but now I’m firmly in the Hogarth camp. Their upcoming album is being talked up as their finest work ever and Rothers is reportedly back on track with his iconic soloing. Can’t wait for my album pre-order to ship, should be any day nowcaptainfruitbat wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 9:05 pm I'm a big Rothery fan too - I've been following Marillion since before they got their first record deal.
Rothery’s book is worth getting if you don’t already have it

Re: Best albums of 2021
Same - hoping the album gets here soon. The last pre-order I did got lost and took ages. I think I read somewhere that if you've pre-ordered you will be able to download mp3s from release day. Haven't seen Rothery's book - will look into that.MiniForklift wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 9:18 pmOh wow, same! I started with all their early albums but now I’m firmly in the Hogarth camp.

Re: Best albums of 2021
I think I remember reading that too. Yeah the book is good, it's a photographic history right back from the early day of Marillion through to the making and recording of Brave. He said he plans to do a second book when he gets the timecaptainfruitbat wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 9:23 pm I think I read somewhere that if you've pre-ordered you will be able to download mp3s from release day.

Just checked. If you pre-ordered, you can download from the Townsend site from 11am uk time 3rd March.MiniForklift wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 7:52 amI think I remember reading that too.

Are you familiar with Rothery's side project The Wishing Tree? I was listening to the Ostara album yesterday. Really good stuff - Rothery Close to his best blended nicely with female vocals.

Yeah, I have both of those albums. He's also done some cracking guest solo's, I really like this Gilmour-esque one, Rothers' solo starts at 4:30captainfruitbat wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 8:45 am Are you familiar with Rothery's side project The Wishing Tree?

Re: Best albums of 2021
Reminds me of Warpaint, but diluted with Tori Amos. Here's Warpaint.sty wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 10:36 am This is going to sound odd,
One of my absolute favourite albums from last year was probably
Halsey : If I Can't Have Love I Want Power
blew me away when I first heard the album, and got a whole new lease of life when I managed to get a copy on Vinyl.
Produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, so has a very familiar undercurrent for me.

Re: Best albums of 2021
I’ve checked them out but never really got into them. Just found them a little middle-of-the-road if I’m honest

They opened for Crowded House at the Bowl, and were great
