I believe it's on the Sabotage album. Since they've covered Sabbath songs before (Planet Caravan), perhaps this is the same song.

The introduction to "Burning My Soul," the leadoff single, gets a sexy groove going with a chugging bass line and a soulful organ part, while "Anna Lee" is a fairly pretty ballad, despite its inane, heavy-handed lyrics. < This is the only "good" part of the review!

I wasn't >> impressed by the song at all? It may be just me but I'd like to >> find out what Marillion fans see in the band. Well Pat, I owe you one. So here goes. (I am assuming that you weren't purposely baiting the jam into another Marilion debate ...... it would be terrible to start or perpetuate something like that .......hehehehe). There are two camps. The early Marrilion fans (I am one) and the present day Marrilion fans (I am not one). The two camps rarely intersect unless your name rhymes with bitchy. The transition came about when Fish (singer for early Marillion) left the band. He was and remains great. The new singer (Steve Hogarth) well, I ws going to say "sucks" but that's immature. Let's just say that he is not great. He has that whiny vocal style that is typical of many prog rock/metal bands that have a weak singer. And I have been on record as saying that he has the stage presence of a house plant. It wasn't just the change in singer, though. They seem to have transitioned into less musically intense CDs since the mid 80's. Get either of their two earliest full length CDs: "Script for a Jester's Tear" or "Fugazi". I like them the best. Although they are a bit expensive as imports, the new ones are now coming over the drink with a bonus CD. The second tier contains Misplaced Childhood (for my tastes OVER produced) and Clutching at Straws (for my tastes, too slow and depressing). Musically, these have less intensity than the first two but still had Fish as a singer. The rest have Hogarth and while I admit every now and again, I like a song or two, I would find it very hard to recommend any of these CDs. Additionally, Fish's first solo album "Vigil" and his most recent one "Sunsets on Empire" are very decent as well with Sunset being one of my favorite non-metal CDs of 1997 and quite a plesant surprise. Also let it be known that Fish puts on one of the best live shows in the business and is worth an extra effort to go and see. DTC = MP loves at least the earlier Marillion - maybe all of it. MDTC (more DTC) = MP will supposedly be making a side project CD with Marilion's bassist (Pete Trewavas) soon.

First of all, I would like to add to the list of good Frank Zappa my two favorites: Apostrophe (') and Overnite Sensation. I do not recommend Sheik Yerbouti. Also to Pat Daugherty. Easter is one of Marillion most commercial song. Why bitch about them when you know there is hundreds of fans of Marillion on the list (including MP!). That's bad.

If you ever just sit down and listen to the Star Wars themes (which are masterpieces), ET Adventures on Earth (another incredible piece), Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of a Third Kind... the list goes on. He really knows how to use an orchestra to add emotion, because when you think about it, he has a handicap that other classical composers don't. Most classical composers can paint an image with their music and the emotion comes through that... However, with movie composers, they are limited to what's on the screen... very rarely does the director change the movie for the comoser's music (Speilberg actually did change scenes from ET to accomidate John Williams' ET. Adventure on Earth). As far as other movie composers go, Hans Zimmer (Rock, Crimson Tide) and Jerry Goldsmith (various movies) are also very good... What a tangent... but anyway... carry on...
