ANORAKNOPHOBIA ALBUM INFO

Artist: Marillion
Album: Anoraknophobia
Release Date: 15 May 2001

''Anoraknophobia'' is Marillion's 12th studio album, released in 2001. Following the success of their previous North American tour, underwritten by the band's fans themselves, Marillion turned to their fans to finance the making of ''Anoraknophobia'', asking them to pre-order the album before it was even recorded. This was as unprecedented as it was successful, as more than 12,500 fans pre-ordered it. All who pre-ordered the album received a pre-order incentive|special double-CD version. Everyone who pre-ordered the album before a set date also got their names printed in the booklet of the 2-CD version.

Some fans see the Mark Kelly Remix of "Between You And Me" as the definitive version of that song. In a slightly edited form it was released as a single, although the single was only sold from the band's [http://www.marillion.com website].

The album title is a portmanteau of "anorak" (or "anorak (slang)" ) and "arachnophobia." The title was arrived at independantly from ''Anoraknophobia'', a Wallace and Gromit comic book [http://www.amazon.com/Wallace-Gromit-Anoraknophobia/dp/0340728345].

The anorak-wearing character on the cover is called Barry and is originally from a series of Japanese Nissan car adverts from the 1990s. The coat hanger barry holds was for breaking into the cars.
