Veteran U.K. progressive rock band Marillion claims to have secured the equivalent of a $725,000 advance by appealing direct to its fans online. A spokesperson for the band says 12,011 fans have paid £29.99 ($60) for a deluxe version of the as-yet-unreleased double-disc set, providing an income of £360,000 ($725,000). The album will be self-released; the band controls its own publishing. (Billboard, Sound On Sound)
