Description:
If you have heard Marillion at some point in your life, chances are this is the album you've heard. "Kayleigh" and "Lavender" became pervasive songs of their time, and forever after. But truth be told, they only tell part of the story of this, one of the best prog rock albums ever to be released. Marillion started in the early eighties, with a strong influence from Genesis and Pink Floyd, and a lead singer (Fish) who imitated Peter Gabriel both visually and sonically. "Misplaced Childhood" was the band's third full length album, following "Script for a Jester's Tear" and "Fugazi". With this album they showed everyone what they were capable of, by displaying a concept album telling the story of Fish's broken heart through the album's ten songs. From the opening chords of "Pseudo Silk Kimono", all the way into the famous "Kayleigh" and "Lavender", the album prepares you for the musical trip that lies ahead, broken into two main parts (which constituted sides A and B of the album). "Waterhole" starts a fast-paced 'side B' leading into the album's high points, with the multi-part "Blind Curve" standing out above the rest for its change of rhythm and melody in a way that had long become part of the Marillion signature sound by the time of this release. If you want to start your Marillion collection, this is an excellent place to do it. Plus it's also a fabulous starting point for a prog rock collection too, if you haven't started yours by now. Other references to look for: in Marillion discography, "Brave" and "Marbles" (both post-Fish); other modern pro rock bands, IQ and Flower Kings.
