Summary: MARILLION-The U.K.'s best kept secret
Review: I believe this title is the same released in the U.K. on 7-22-02 in a multiregion format. If so, this is an awesome band who never really got their due in the States but have one of the loyalist fan bases I've ever seen. This DVD includes 20 videos with both of their lead vocalists. There is also a hidden video, lyrics, photo gallery, and a discography. Usually termed progressive rock, kindred spirits include Genesis, Yes, Rush,Pink Floyd, U2, Peter Gabriel, etc. If you're new to the band, this is an excellent value and a good introduction-check it out!This collection covers the years 1982-1995. These guys were once gods in the U.K..The band is very unique and the music/lyrics are phenomenal....

Summary: Sad The World Never Really Heard This Band
Review: I live in Australia and found radio would rarely play their music, every record that came out i bought it even when Fish left.
I hope people buy this DVD to see how awesome a band they were and what a pity they were never really given a chance except in England.

Review: If you go to Marillion.com this DVD is also available there, along with all the song titles, and other features. I've been a big Marillion fan since 1986, and this compilation of videos is outstanding!

Summary: A really great DVD with a bunch of really BAD videos!
Review: Okay. I love Marillion. Always have (ever since I first saw the video for "Kayleigh" on MTV in 1985...yes, American MTV) and always will. And I think it's about time that they finally released something on DVD, and their entire video catalogue is a great start. But if you've never seen a Marillion video before, don't go expecting much in the way of quality. These are, for the most part, some of the worst videos I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Don't get me wrong, there are some high points: the video for "Kayleigh" will always hold a special place in my heart. "Easter" is by far their finest video accomplishment to date, and the live version of "Warm Wet Circles" gives the viewer a glimpse at just what a fantastic live band these guys are. But the rest are, well, rather embarrasingly bad. This is certainly no reason not to buy this wonderful DVD, for it also holds great comedic value in some of the goofier videos ("Market Square Heroes", "Incommunicado"). But be warned, if you are the type of person that hates videos because of what they do to your private, cherished mental images, you may want to watch with your eyes closed. Keep your eyes peeled for more Marillion DVD releases (updates posted regularly at marillion.com), as official word has it that there are two more on the way.

Summary: Bad videos?...Come on!
Review: The quality of videos (and of music, for that matter) has always been (and will always be) a matter of opinion. But to say that this DVD contains "bad" videos, as somebody put it here, is a radical statement, and has to be taken as, well, a matter of opinion. To appreciate the videos in this compilation, you have to have historycal perspective. Of course, by today's standards, any video of the 80's will look very outdated, basic and sometimes funny where not intended to be. As for Marillion videos, I've seen 1000 times worst, and in my opinion they're not bad. Some of them are funny, which shows that the band were having a really great time doing them. Back in those days, the heart of the video relied more in what the performers could do by themselves, as opposed of today, in which the special effects are the stars, and any originality from the musicians themselves is deprived. And just to mention 2, "Dry land" contains one of the best photography and landscapes that I've seen in a video, and "Beautiful" is excellent. Of course, there are bad videos ("Hooks in you" is intended to present Marillion as a "Survivor" -"Eye of the tiger", remember?- kind of group, and that image is forced and clumsy) but sure they are the exception. Overall, the quality of this videos progresses as they advanced (they are in cronological order), another proof that this videos were made according to dominating standards at the time of their release. As any Marillion fan, I bought this DVD just because, and although the videos didn't introduced any breakthrough in visual music, I must recommend it because is good, musically and visually...

Summary: excellent
Review: The truth is that this compiling although is not of a very good tecnical quality because of the moment in that the videos were recorded, it have an excellent artistic quality. One of the best bands of all the times. Try this dvd and review the most beautiful songs that you ever heard. If you have a music knowledge you must have it.It's worth having it.

Summary: Finally!
Review: This collection updates the existing VHS edition of the videos collection, but as the title clearly states, it includes only the EMI singles, thus, videos for songs released while on other labels are missing.It's in chronological order (although you can see them in random order), including 11 videos from Fish's era (Market Square heroes, He knows you know, Garden party, Assassing, Kayleigh, Lavender, Lady Nina, Heart of Lothian, Incommunicado, Sugar mice and Warm wet circles). These videos were made with very low budgets way back in the mid 80's, so their quality is not that great, but that's not really a problem. As for the h videos, there are 12 of them (Hooks in you, Uninvited guest, Easter, Cover my eyes, No one can, Dry land, Sympathy, Hollow man, Alone again in the lap of luxury, The great escape, Beautiful) including one that's *hidden* (Deserve). These are better produced videos. Notice that the three videos for the 'Brave' songs seem quite similar, this is because they're all based on a single story (it is, after all, a concept album) and a film. The music is excellent, as one would expect from the lads, but it's also great fun to see them change through time -- anyone remembers Fish and Mark Kelly when they had hair? Or Steve Rothery when he was thin? My only complaint is that when you play the videos in random order, there's no way to skip or fast forward the songs...but anyways, who'd want to!
