Edison's Children is an official "Side Project" of the Band Marillion in the neo-Progressive Sci-Fi Symphonic Rock style starring Pete Trewavas (Marillion/Transatlantic) / Rick Armstrong (Son of Astronaut Neil Armstrong) and Eric Blackwood (Blackwood & Foti / Sunblister / Crimson Steele) and featuring Henry Rogers (Mostly Autumn/DeeExpus/Marathon) and Lisa Wetton (wife of John Wetton) on drums. Mixdowns and Mastering have been performed by Marillion's Mike Hunter / Fish's Robin Boult / Arena & Lonely Robot's John Mitchell / King Crimson's Jakko Jakszyk and most recently Rush-Porcupine Tree & Paul McCartney's Mastering Tech: Andy VanDette's. The band is noted for their epic songs sometimes 80 minutes long with sweeping symphonic art rock & sci-fi themes such as UFO encounters / Alien Abductions & Supernatural Hauntings, with visual artwork by Wendy Darling Blackwood (also credited as Wendy Darling Pastore/Wendy Farrell Pastore) that appear throughout their CDs and Vinyl which have 16-20 page lyrical booklets (Wendy also appears on Backing Vocals). Edison's Children has performed in England, Canada, the Netherland and The United States and co-headlined the NASA ASF 50th anniversary concert for Rick's father Neil Armstrong and Apollo 11 landing on the moon with The Alan Parsons Live Project as well as performing with Alan Parsons on stage during the encore (Games People Play)..The live band also featured John Wesley of Porcupine Tree fame. The band is most famous for the song A Million Miles Away (I Wish I Had A Time Machine) which made it to the Top 40 (reaching as high as 32) for 10 straight weeks for most FM Radio airplay in America according to the Gavin Report in 2011. Their first album "In The Last Waking Moments..." About a UFO abduction survivor is the only album ever to feature every member of Marillion (and Fish's lead Guitarist Robin Boult) that wasn't an actual "Marillion album". They have produced 4 albums thus far and are expected to produce and have recorded enough material for at least 2 more albums forthcoming. Their more recent material has combined symphonic rock with progressive industrial with elements of Pink Floyd, Tool, A Perfect Circle, The Cure and Porcupine Tree.
