Make sure you buy this import version. It's a double disc that includes the magnificent 17 min. song titled "Ocean Cloud." I can only speculate why this track didn't make the domestic release (short-sighted marketing execs who don't understand Marillion fans), but any American purchasing Marillion's work has taste that goes beyond Coldplay and would certainly appreciate this song: it re-defines classic Marillion's signature symphonic brush strokes. It's why Marillion fans keep coming back for more. I agree with the fan that said, "Thank God we still have groups like Marillion." I couldn't agree more.

This album left me speechless!
Music just doesn't get any better. A double album of gem after gem. "Marbles" has replaced "Brave" as my favorite Marillion album ... no ... my favorite album of all time.
Fantastic stuff.

The best...amazing...incredible
Sometimes I wonder where these guys get their inspiration...after more than 20 years making wonderfull music with marterpieces such as "brave" and "affraid of sunlight" they invaded aour souls with marbles....FANTASTIC PLACE is the song I was waiting for...YOU'RE GONE is a great pop music...ANGELINA makes me travel...INVISIBLE MAN is a movie...not a song. try to get the double album version...you'll find OCEAN CLOUD and GENIE...great tunes...anyway...all you have to know is that this is not an album for Marillion lovers,this is for the best music lovers...the best album ever made since the 70's...thank you steve for your great voice

Better every time
I have been with this band since 1985 and "Marbles" is their finest offering to date. I had planned to write some seriously smart-arsed prose about it but I finally decided the best thing to do was lay down a challenge. Listen to it! And then listen again, because it doesn't give all its secrets first time out. And then listen again, and find the masterful musicianship. And again for the heart-rending vocals. And again for the little subtleties. And again, and again because you are listening to real musicians making real music with real heart. This is music...real music. If this one doesn't move you (particularly the heart-breaking final track) then you've been dead for a long time. An absolute classic from a criminally neglected group of artists.
