Radiation

Marillion

A gritty, experimental pivot into 90s alternative textures. Distorted vocals and fuzz-drenched guitars replace the band's signature shimmer with urban restlessness.

September 18, 1998 · Sanctuary

A restless and experimental exploration of urban isolation and social cynicism.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring jump from the satirical acoustic opening of Costa del Slough into the distorted crunch of Under the Sun.
The eerie, skeletal falsetto and minimal piano that defines the heartbreak of Now She'll Never Know.
The massive, slow-building dub-influenced groove that anchors the ten-minute epic A Few Words for the Dead.
