This live album, Return to Childhood, was recorded on Fish's 2005 tour of the same name, because after a first set featuring the Scottish prog rocker's best solo material, the second set (or disc, here) is a 20th anniversary live re-creation of Marillion's 1985 album Misplaced Childhood. Somewhat surprisingly, the new version works quite well, with all of the technical mastery of the familiar album but adding a bracing immediacy that dated mid-'80s production values can't touch. The highlight, as on the original album, is the unexpectedly poppy ballad "Kayleigh," the closest Marillion ever came to a standard love song and by far their biggest single; in this version, the lower register that is Fish's normal range these days allows for a somewhat bitter, rueful edge to creep into the "I never meant to break your heart" refrain. The addition of an encore of three older Marillion favorites including an epic closing version of "Fugazi" makes the second disc a must for fans. As for the first disc, for all of the striking similarities, vocally speaking, between Fish and Peter Gabriel, the former did not manage to make the artistic leap from group to solo artist as gracefully, with even the best songs here sounding like pale imitations of Marillion. Even hardcore Fish-heads will turn to the second disc more often.

Stewart Mason - All Music Guide



Marillions Misplaced Childhood gehört zu den wichtigsten Progressive-Rock-Alben der achtziger Jahre. Auf der Doppel-CD Return To Childhood lässt Ex-Sänger Fish den Klassiker noch einmal livehaftig auferstehen. Mit Misplaced Childhood und den Single-Hits "Kayleigh" und "Lavender" feierten Marillion 1985 ihre größten Erfolge. Wenig später stieg Fish aus, um eine Solokarriere zu starten und sich von seiner Vergangenheit zu emanzipieren. Dass er seine Jahre mit Steve Rothery & Co. nicht vergessen hat, beweist der Konzertmitschnitt Return To Childhood, auf dem nicht nur das komplette Misplaced Childhood-Werk originell interpretiert wird, sondern auch ganz frühe Marillion-Klassiker wie "Market Square Heroes" und "Fugazi" zum Zug kommen. Die Stimme des hünenhaften Schotten kann auch nach mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten immer noch aufs Angenehmste verzaubern, und seine versierte Band meistert das Marillion-Material genauso problemlos wie die zahlreichen Fish-Solo-Songs, die das 22 Stücke starke Prog-Paket abrunden.
