Historical background

Marillion was founded in 1979 and is considered one of the most influential neo-prog bands. They enjoyed great success in the 1980s with singer Fish before he left the band in 1988. With Steve Hogarth as the new frontman, a new era began, heralded by Seasons End (1989). Holidays in Eden represented a significant stylistic shift: instead of complex prog suites, melodic rock songs with a radio-friendly appeal dominated. Although the album polarized the fanbase, it is now considered an important part of the band's history and a collector's item.
