Our Take
Our Take
Marillion's latest offering, "With Friends From The Orchestra," is a delightful collusion of the band's signature prog-rock sensibilities and the lushness of orchestral arrangements. Think of it as a musical concoction of fish and chips served with a side of decadent chocolate mousse.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Estonia," where Steve Hogarth's emotive vocals soar over a bed of strings, setting the tone for what's to come. Tracks like "Beyond You" and "Seasons End" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend rock instrumentation with symphonic elements, creating a sound that is both grandiose and intimate.
But what truly sets this album apart is the inclusion of guest musicians, including the legendary Inger Nilsson on violin and the incomparable Samuel West on narration. Their contributions add an extra layer of depth to the music, elevating it to new heights.
Throughout "With Friends From The Orchestra," Marillion displays a level of maturity and musicianship that is truly awe-inspiring. While some may argue that the band has mellowed with age, I would argue that they have simply refined their craft, honing in on what makes their music truly special.
In conclusion, "With Friends From The Orchestra" is a testament to Marillion's enduring creativity and innovation. It's a must-listen for fans of the band, as well as anyone who appreciates music that pushes boundaries and transcends genres. Cheers to Marillion for yet another masterpiece in their illustrious career.
