Andrew WoodGUEST
When I'm not watching Mirrillion and sort of traveling around the world, uh, drinking beer and listening to music, I also...
Andrew WoodGUEST
I've got a full-time job, and that full-time job generally is doing VFX or visual effects, specifically for TV commercials, but occasionally we do the odd pop video.
Andrew WoodGUEST
Uh, over the years we've done the odd pop video.
Mikey KayPANELIST

With, with Mirrillion, with Steve Hogarth, they did take him to Iceland, and they did drop him off [laughs] on a glacier, didn't they?

I was
Craig HoustonHOST
going to say, also, because with Marillion, with Steve Hogarth, they did take him to Iceland and they did drop him off on the glacier, didn't they? And then a helicopter had fucked off.
Craig HoustonHOST
I don't think they could necessarily get away with doing that to Madonna.
Andrew Barnsley-WoodGUEST
No. I'll just say it as it was.
Graham CoathHOST
uh never quite reaching that pinnacle but you know i i do think that Musicians have started writing more, as I say, about the process.
Graham CoathHOST
I know like a few years ago, Merillion, I mentioned just before we came on about Merillion, but they wrote a song called The Leavers, which is all about the experience of the people that get left behind when people go on tour.
Graham CoathHOST
Because that's a weird one as well, you know, because you go away and, you know, people treat you like, royalty up on stage for or you know this
Chris BraideGUEST
wow

The show had a huge effect on music of that era, so it would give us a good excuse to put it onto a music history podcast channel.

John MerrickHOST
There's a lot more power when power's needed, and you can hear all the intricacies of, of some of what Ricardo Romano's doing in the background as well on some of the tracks.
John MerrickHOST
Um, I think from the interviews that they've done, Steve Hackett writes in a very different way to Steve Rothery.
John MerrickHOST
Steve Rothery, for years now, we know Marillion have all been about, um, improvising and un- and, um, the majority of their stuff comes from improvising.

Mark EllenHOST
Okay.
Matthew NorthGUEST
But a similar size box set is Marillion.
Mark EllenHOST
Right.
Matthew NorthGUEST
They put all their albums out, or their first, like, eight or nine, all the ones on EMI, in a similar style.
Matthew NorthGUEST
I mean ...
Matthew NorthGUEST
And this is why these box sets now, I think are so expensive, is they put all this tat in with them and, and the price just goes right up.
Matthew NorthGUEST
Whereas, you know, if they'd done this box set in the style of Marillion, they could have done it for 45 quid.
David HepworthHOST
Yeah, but-
