About the Contest

Remixing "Between You and Me" is only the tip of the Marillion iceberg.

In what may be a rock-and-roll first, the band is offering every track off the complete "Anoraknophobia" album for remixing, and tremendous prize packages - including a £500 remix fee and a commercial album release. The band will personally provide anyone with the complete masters for each track. Get details of the full contest here.

About the Artist

Has ACIDplanet lost its mind? - who the hell are Marillion? Listen...

As the multitudes of fans who regularly flock to see the band live or buy their records are all too aware, there really is no other band like Marillion. Refusing to compromise their music by bowing to the marketing pressures of focus groups or record labels seeking a chart-busting single, Marillion have delighted in pressing on to create their own unmistakable and authentic music.

The band have been around since the early 80's and have always made music that bucks against current trends. Over the past twenty years, the band has stubbornly followed their muse, and developed a large, dedicated following. Marillion has been prolific, producing titles such as Script for a Jester's Tear, Fugazi, Misplaced Childhood, Brave, Afraid of Sunlight, and many others, topped off by the recent release of Anoraknophobia. Marillion fans will attest that the band has forged its own unmistakable and authentic music.

"It's the Holy Grail for most musicians, to have complete freedom of expression and to be free of commercial pressures," says vocalist Steve Hogarth. "Not to have the dreaded visit by the A&R man to see how it's going. The whispering in the ear of the producer saying 'make it more like this'. We don't have any of those things to deal with, we are just doing what we like doing."

And nearly twenty years into their career the band continues to maintain their integrity, and has set up their own label, Racket Records.
