First Sanja got Covid... then we screwed up our chances of going to Poland for the first of this year's Marillion Weekends.

We discuss. Of course, we go off at all sorts of tangents, and Paul reflects upon why Marbles chimed so well with him back in 2004... It's another emotional one.

Between You And Me - A Podcast About MarillionOr You Could Love...We always wanted to put out a special episode of Between You And Me to mark the launch of the new Marillion album, An Hour Before it's Dark. Unfortunately, world events have rather overshadowed what should've been an exciting time for both band and fans.What should've been a celebration of a great album instead becomes a rather freewheeling chat about the state of the world, releasing new music at such a portentous time, whether AHBID has broken out beyond prog listeners, and the impact of the Ukraine war on the upcoming Poland Marillion Weekend.

Whichever number it is, can An Hour Before It's Dark become Marillion's finest hour? We're going to tell you what we think of every track.Beware spoilers. You won't want to listen to this if you prefer to hear to the new album without any preconceived notions.
