From Pete Trewavas and Eric Blackwood's "Edison's Children"
With Marillion's next masterpiece gearing up this summer at Racket, Edison's Children is going to hold off on the recording of its next "epic" until after the release of "Marillion 18". (As, we want to hear it as much as you do!).
However... we wouldn't want to leave you without anything, until then. Because of this, we are proud to announce that we will begin an immediate pre-order for our new "bridge album"... something to take you from our last album to our next and it is appropriately titled...
"Somewhere Between Here And There..."
This CD will feature:
-- 14 never before heard, new and remixed tracks including 7 brand new songs totaling nearly 80 minutes of music! This includes the 3 songs that Eric Blackwood just debuted for you at the Marillion Weekend in Montreal...
-- Never before released: A Million Miles Away (I Wish I Had A Time Machine) - Live From Wolves from the 2013 Marillion Weekend!
-- King Crimson Lead Singer Jakko Jakszyk was recommended to us, by Steven Wilson to help Edison's Children mix their 2nd CD "The Final Breath Before November". However after mixing 4 songs, we decided that while they were excellent mixes, they didn't quite have the Edison's Children "sound". John Mitchell would remix the songs for the album (with only The Final Breath appearing from Jakko on the actual CD). For the first time ever hear the other 3 songs as they were originally mixed by Jakko. This will finally include the highly anticipated "Where Were You? -Jakko Whisper Mix", complete with the 2 minute longer "whispery ending" which has been the rumor mill of E.C. forums for over a year now.
-- When Mike Hunter mixed the epic song "The Longing", he mixed two very different versions. One was a beautiful and lush orchestral mix and the other, a powerful and complex rock anthem. After taking 3 days of listening to each mix, Pete and Eric decided that Mike's amazing "Rock Mix" would be a defining song for Edison's Children. Now you finally get to listen to the more "orchestral version" that Mike Hunter produced, which nearly made it to the album!
We hope that this 3rd Edison's Children release will keep you warm and fuzzy throughout the coming summer months, until we can complete our next epic concept album.
Includes unlimited streaming of Somewhere Between Here and There...

The new Single Version of the original "Light Years". This remix by John Mitchell is qutie a bit shorter and quite a bit "hotter" in the mix with a sleeker pop feel and mastering for radio play.
lyrics
Here I am Light Years from home
Among these stars is now where I roam
I never thought you would be
So many Light Years from me”
Funny how I had always strayed, too far behind you
Now I’m lost here in Outerspace, I thought I’d find you
Drifted off onto far off clouds when the sun came to shine on me
Now I’m lost in this universe, please come bring me back to Earth
Looking at how we drifted away, I took for granted
Now I’m lost here in Outerspace, those seeds we planted
You don’t always appreciate what you’ve got until it’s gone
Now I’ll search celestial seas, what is gonna bring you back to me?
You thought you had what you were looking for… all along
You never know what you’ve got until its gone
You were searching in all the wrong places It’s in the stars tonight,
you just have to look up and see it shining bright
Now I sit here alone in space, trying to rewind
What I wouldn’t give to go Light Years back in time
And say exactly what I want to say without fear of losing you
Now I’m lost in this lunacy, pretending like you’re here with me...

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.
Essential. Crinklechips
