In the Lap of Luxury: Marillion Detail Expanded Remix Package for 'Brave'

January 22, 2018 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Following the release of last year's remixed expansion of Misplaced Childhood, neo-prog rockers Marillion are jumping ahead to one of their top albums of the 1990s to reissue: 1994's Brave, their seventh album. A 4CD/1Blu-ray box set edition of the album is due March 9.

Brave was the third Marillion album with vocalist Steve Hogarth, who replaced Fish as frontman in early 1989. A stark departure from 1991's Holidays In Eden, their most pop-centric album, Brave told the story (based on actual events) of a girl discovered by police on England and Wales' Severn Bridge with no memory of how she got there. Recorded over nearly a year in a French castle, the location - including recordings of nearby caves for ambience - contributed to the album's drawn-out sense of unease. (The original vinyl edition offered two possible endings to the story, thanks to a set of double grooves on the fourth and final side.) Brave extended the band's streak of U.K. Top 10 albums and was supported by a well-received, theatrical tour.

For this new version of Brave, Steven Wilson has remixed the original album from the multitrack tapes in both stereo and 5.1 surround. Both mixes will be available on the accompanying Blu-ray in the set and in stereo on CD alongside the original mix of the album by producer Dave Meegan. The bonus material is two discs of the band's 1994 performance at La Cagle, Paris, newly mixed by Michael Hunter. The full performance of Brave from this set originally appeared on the double live set Made Again in 1996, and is now expanded to feature all the material apart from the album the band played that day. Additional Blu-ray extras include It All Began with the Bright Light, a new documentary on the album; three promo videos and "The Great Escape (Spiral Remake)," the dour album closer featured on the second groove of the vinyl version. (The accompanying 50-minute film for the album will unfortunately not be included.) A 5LP box will feature Wilson's remix and the live material on vinyl.

The deluxe Brave hits stores March 9. Full package details and Amazon links are below.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
