This live set was recorded at the Marillion Weekend at Center Parcs, Port Zelande, Netherlands on March 21, 2015. The event happens every couple of years, and over its three evenings, the group plays at least one -- if not two -- of its studio albums in full. For instance, while this date features the entire Marbles album (its complete double-disc version), Marillion performed the entire Anoraknophobia recording on the evening before. The last, Singles Night, featured performances of singles from the Fish era to the present. Marbles in the Park is available as a double disc and a double DVD/Blu-ray. It is the only one of these three concerts available from commercial retail outlets; the other two can be purchased solely from the band's website. Musically, Marbles is one of Marillion's most discussed recordings and might be considered an odd choice for a retrospective concert. It's moodier and decidedly more laid-back than the albums surrounding it, the aforementioned Anoraknophobia from 2001 and 2007's Somewhere Else. While the visuals available on the video discs certainly add to the power of Marbles in the Park, the stellar sound quality and the band's inspired performance (which clearly feeds off the audience's devotion) combine to deliver a magnificent live album. This is Marillion showcasing the most accessible side of their progressive sound. Vocalist Steve Hogarth is in excellent form delivering the poetic lyrics in "Fantastic Place," "Ocean Cloud," and "Neverland," with commitment and enough authority to get them across as anything but pretentious. On 14-minute opener "The Invisible Man,' his falsetto is gently urged forward by Steve Rothery's startling guitar playing and Mark Kelly's illustrative, painterly keyboards. The rhythm section of bassist Pete Trewavas and drummer Ian Mosley are among the very best in rock -- progressive or otherwise. As a unit, they provide much more than a foundation; they are Marillion's engine. On "You're Gone," amid loops, live drum layers, warm slide guitars, and swirling synths, Hogarth ratchets up the passion in every verse, as the band's backing vocal chorus touches on gospel as well as the Anglican hymn tradition. Trewavas' bassline is songlike throughout; he comes to the fore and shines along with Hogarth at the very end. The encores on disc two include readings of "Out of This World" and "King" from Afraid of Sunlight, and the title track from the 2014's Sounds That Can't Be Made. This may be a document intended for the Marillion faithful -- who are a hardcore as well as critically discerning lot -- but its attraction quotient should appeal to a wide variety of rock fans. In this live presentation, Marbles reaches further than its studio origins to become a nearly transcendent listening experience. ~ Thom Jurek

Daredevil Records use The Planet app powered by Shopify to neutralize your shipping emissions and removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Daredevil Records has committed to donating the most amount of money possible from your order to offset C02 emissions.  

This includes funding innovative solutions such as direct air capture and mineralization, and a small portion of nature-based carbon removal.

These funds companies such as 44.01, Carbofex, CarbonBuilt, CarbonCure, Charm Industrial, Climeworks, DroneSeed, Grassroots Carbon, Heirloom Carbon, Loam, Noya, Pachama, Planetary, Remora, Running Tide, and Sustaera.

Carbon Removal Process

Carbon removal is the process of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then storing it.

For example, if a truck or a plane that delivers your shipment releases 1 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, and you are subscribed to the Planet app, then Shopify ensures that 1kg of CO2 is also sucked from the atmosphere and stored away using solutions and technologies in Shopify Sustainability Fund.

There is a fast-growing and evolving sector with many carbon removal technologies in different stages of development. These technologies include nature-based solutions, such as reforestation and soil carbon sequestration and more high-tech solutions, such as direct air capture and mineralization.

How Shipping Emissions Are Calculated

The Planet app combines data from our store with industry data and peer-reviewed models to estimate how much CO2 your shipments release into the environment. Because the Planet app makes sure that CO2 shipping emissions are removed entirely, all values that are used in the data models are rounded up.

Review the following table to learn more about the which data is used to determine shipping emissions:

Factor

Primary value

If primary value isn't available

Weight

Weight of the shipment

An average shipment weight

Distance

Distance traveled according to the tracking data

Straight-line distance between the origin and destination address, multiplied by an uncertainty factor of 1.5

Type of transportation

Truck or plane carbon emissions, determined by speed and distance

Truck emissions

To estimate your emissions, the Planet app uses order tracking data associated with the tracking number assigned to the shipment. If the tracking number isn’t available or the shipping carrier isn’t supported, then the Planet app multiplies the estimated emissions by an uncertainty factor of 1.5. The uncertainty factor helps make sure that all your emissions are removed. If any data is inconsistent or missing, then the Planet app uses a reasonable maximum value instead.

For example, suppose that you ship a package from Boston to New York. The straight-line distance is 305.94 km, but the shortest road route is around 350 km. If tracking data is available, then the Planet app uses the exact distance traveled.

However, if no tracking data is provided, then 305.94 km is used in the base calculation, and the resulting emissions would be multiplied by 1.5. This calculation accounts for variations in the route, such as distances traveled from post offices and distribution centers, and the route taken by the courier to deliver the package to your customer's door.

Considerations for using the Planet app

Review the following considerations for the Carbon Neutral Shipping Planet app:

  • The models and estimates aren’t exact, but the Planet app overestimates your emissions to make sure that they’re entirely removed. 
  • The Planet app removes only carbon (CO2) emissions that account for 95% of the climate impact from burning fossil fuels for transportation. Other emissions such as CH4, N2O, and GHG aren’t removed.
  • Orders that are shipped by sea transportation (we do not ship any orders by sea) don't generate the data required to accurately calculate emissions. Instead, industry-accepted alternative methods are used to calculate emissions.
  • The Planet app currently focuses on addressing emissions from shipping-related transportation.
