Our Take

Welcome to the wacky and wonderful world of Marillion's "Afraid of Sunlight" Deluxe Edition. This album is like a rollercoaster ride through the mind of a confused clown, with twists and turns that will leave you both exhilarated and slightly disoriented.

From the opening track "Gazpacho" with its hauntingly beautiful melody, to the epic storytelling of "Out of This World", Marillion takes you on a journey that is equal parts mesmerising and bizarre. The band's signature blend of prog-rock, neo-prog, and pop sensibilities is on full display here, with each track offering something new and unexpected.

But what really sets this Deluxe Edition apart is the bonus material. From unreleased demos to live recordings, these added gems provide a deeper look into the creative process behind the album. It's like getting a backstage pass to the circus, where you can see the clowns putting on their makeup and practicing their juggling tricks.

Overall, "Afraid of Sunlight" Deluxe Edition is a must-listen for fans of Marillion, as well as anyone who appreciates music that is both adventurous and off-kilter. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be whisked away by the strange and wonderful world of Marillion. It's a ride you won't soon forget.
