Prog 151 leads with a massive article on the fascinating inside story behind Marillion’s 13th studio release Marbles (which is 20 years old this year). An album which rejuvenated the band at the time, it sonically led the way for what the band have accomplished since. 

 

Elsewhere the issue has features on the making of Yes’s Talk and Decca Records’ psych/prog offshoot label Deram, while there are interviews with Steven Wilson (about the latest Bass Communion album), Richard Thompson, Nordic Giants, Airbag, Marjana Semkina and more.

 

Comes with four Prog coasters, an Esoteric Recordings digital sampler (with music from Chris Squire, Curved Air, Family, Squackett, Anthony Phillips and more), a Sonicbond Publishing prog e-book and four Marillion Marbles postcards.
