(2019) Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight


Review:
Marillion reissue their 1995 album Afraid of Sunlight in deluxe CD, as they continue with their reissue programme.
Originally released in June 1995, Afraid of Sunlight provided the band with a top-20 hit on the UK Albums chart, not to mention a top-30 hit with the single “Beautiful.” Since then, the LP has been evaluated by critics and earned the descriptor of “neo-progressive classic,” and while this may not tell the average listener much of anything, it’s the sort of thing that makes prog-rock aficionados drool. As such, it’s only appropriate to transform this album into a 4-CD / 1-Blu-ray set, one which includes a new remix of the album by Michael Hunter, the original mix by producer Dave Meegan, a live recording of the band at the Rotterdam Ahoy Arena, the video for “Beautiful,” and a documentary about the making of the album.
