Movie Reviews of Somewhere in London
Movie Review: Discover Marillion and Here's How. Any rock fan should have this release!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't know Marillion, you're not alone. But you're missing out.
If you remember them, but haven't checked them out lately, you're in for a huge surprise.
Drawing comparisons with Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Coldplay, Keane, Crowded House and other varied artists, nothing seems quite satisfactory in defining this highly emotional and dynamic rock outfit. I discovered them over 20 years ago with their former frontman, and in the last 2 years have rediscovered the amazing back catalogue with the charismatic Steve "h" Hogarth at the front mic.
Whether you remember Marillion from the 80's heyday or have never heard of them, take a small risk and order this disc post-haste. The best concert video the band has ever put out, it boasts excellent production values, an excellent performance and a great introductory setlist. I've probably watched my copy at least 30/40 times, and the depth of the tracks and the intensity of the performances is up there with the best in the business. But sadly, since going truly independent long before "indie" was cool, these internet pioneers are grossly underreported in the music press.
Pulling from their 14th Album "Somewhere Else" through highlights of their 20+year careers, Somewhere in London has something for almost every musical taste in the rock-out, deep ballad or bounce-along tracks that run through themes both deeply personal and highly political.
A concert vid that might actually just move a tear or two -- a very rare experience indeed. These guys know to how to work a crowd and the production team translates the vibe with the audience tremendously well, even shooting some angles from within the audience to draw you in as if you're right there.
Filmed over two nights at London's Kentish Town Forum, the two-disc release provides tremendous value and quality for any hardcore music fan.

Splintering Heart (Holidays in Eden) - cracking opener, brilliant set-up
The Other Half (Somewhere Else) - breathes live and shows off h's vocal chops brilliantly
