Album Description
Available in:
Radiation is the tenth studio album by British rock band Marillion, released in 1998. It reached No. 35 on the UK Albums Chart and stayed there for one week, making it the last Marillion album to enter the top 40 until 2007. The only single released from Radiation is "These Chains", which failed to chart in the UK.
Radiation is the second of three albums in three consecutive years that Marillion released on a contract with Castle Communications between being dropped by EMI Records in 1995 and eventually going independent in the 2000s. Among fans, it is widely considered to be their weakest effort, the main problem being the production, making many of the songs sound tinny, flat or with voice effects deemed unnecessary, the re-mastered version rectifies many of the fans grumbles, and the album can now be enjoyed in a new light, some of the songs have been played live for years, especially 'A Few Words For the dead', a live staple and favourite.
Due to an announcement on Marillion's official website before the album's release, many suppliers and distributors had incorrectly listed the album's title as either "Don't Try This at Home" or "Radiation Leak". As Marillion's tenth studio album, the number 10 can be seen in the "io" in both "marillion" and "radiation" on the cover; previously, the album had been rumoured to be self-titled as "Marill10n" (i.e., with the number "10" replacing the letters "io").
The US release of Radiation (on the Velvel label) contains the bonus tracks "Estonia (Acoustic)" and "Memory of Water (Big Beat Mix)", whose original versions appeared on the previous album, This Strange Engine.
The Japanese release of Radiation (on the Pony Canyon label) contains the bonus tracks "The Space (Live Acoustic)" and the Radiohead cover "Fake Plastic Trees (Live Acoustic)", both taken from the Racket Records album Unplugged at the Walls. The latter also featured as a b-side on the single "These Chains".
A 2CD version of the album containing a remixed and remastered version of all tracks was released on the Madfish label in March 2013. The album was also played in its entirety at the fanclub conventions in 2013.
