Mas se nos for dada a oportunidade de ouvir algumas das suas músicas, perguntamo-nos de imediato "como é possível que eu nunca tenha ouvido falar deles?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O facto de não estarem ligados a nenhuma grande companhia discográfica pode ser parte da explicação. A banda há muito que se afastou dos "gajos de fato" das companhias discográficas e optou pela auto-promoção, apostando na modernização, nas novas tecnologias e num constante evoluir da sonoridade. Apesar de nunca saber o que esperar do álbum seguinte, a extensa legião de fãs cresce com o evoluir dos anos e tem sido, literalmente, o suporte da banda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se há pouca promoção, então como se explica a legião de fãs? Bom, primeiro, pela boa música que é criada. Quem os ouve não fica indiferente. E depois, pela acessibilidade que existe à banda, que trata qualquer elemento do público como um velho amigo em vez de manter uma postura de "estrela intocável". Com os Marillion, jantar, passear e conversar junto ao mar, passar um fim de semana com um dos elementos da banda numa reunião de amigos ou vê-los surgir informalmente num bar e tocar algumas músicas com a banda local não são sonhos, são actividades regulares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando eu conheci os Marillion, o vocalista ainda era o "grande poeta escocês" e o mundo apenas conhecia Kayleigh, que tocava ininterruptamente na rádio. Ainda hoje, mais de 20 anos depois e tantos outros álbuns editados, é talvez a única música da banda que toca com frequência nas rádios mais comerciais. Pergunte-se ao comum mortal que outra canção conhece dos Marillion e dificilmente obterá resposta. E no entanto, o catálogo de pérolas da banda é tão extenso que se perde de vista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de anos na escuridão, em que estive afastada do que de novo esta banda fazia, voltei a emergir e a (re)encontrar "a better way of life". E porque o que é bom deve ser partilhado, crio este espaço para juntos disfrutarmos deste festim para os sentidos que são os Marillion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘An enduring and undervalued treasure’&lt;/em&gt; - Classic Rock&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘There are a million bands who kick ass, but just a few, like Marillion, who really move people’&lt;/em&gt; - Kerrang&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘The best-kept secret in the music industry’&lt;/em&gt; - Sound on Sound&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘Highly dramatic, emotional, dynamic stuff’&lt;/em&gt; - The Guardian&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3575360758089622574-1711567397838797305?l=freaksandanoraks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://freaksandanoraks.blogspot.com/feeds/1711567397838797305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3575360758089622574&amp;postID=1711567397838797305' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3575360758089622574/posts/default/1711567397838797305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3575360758089622574/posts/default/1711567397838797305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://freaksandanoraks.blogspot.com/2007/12/best-kept-secret.html' title='The best kept secret'/><author><name>Phil_Cat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17725210419867194813</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/1959/pata4jq.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
