Mark Daghorn was a long-time Marillion fan and asked the band for permission to remix some of their songs.

The band were delighted at what they heard, and gladly gave him the green light to remix their latest album This Strange Engine.

Daghorn and Turell made the Big Beat Mix of Memory of Water, as The Silent Buddhas.

I'd heard reconstruction's and remixes before and it seemed to me that the purpose of the artform, at best, was to produce some kind of cerebral trip, attained through dance in the tribal sense ... often with a bit of help from `substances´.

At worst, though, I thought it was just a way of imposing a dance rhythm to a previously arranged song in order to hit another market and make money.

PL seemed to have an element in their work that we hadn't often heard on the genre before... - depth of emotion, empathy, soul or whatever you want to call something which elevates music above mere entertainment.
