Background


Recording commenced at the Racket Club, and the vocals were added at Chris Rea's Sol Mill studios in Cockham. Mixing took place at the Woolhall Studios in Somerset, owned by Van Morrison. There was a break for Marillions Made Again tour in April 1996, and Ice Cream Genius was finally completed on 20 July 1996.[5] Hogarth said in an interview 1997 :

"When the producer, Craig Leon, really went crazy about something, he used to shout 'I scream genius on that!'. And while thinking about an album title I kind of liked this phonetical word joke."

[6][7] Hogarth said in the Web UK Magazine 1996:

"The point of making this record was to fulfil the long term ambition to make an album about me. In that sense its utterly selfish. It was a pleasure and a treat to work with the other musicians, hand-picked from some of the best bands in the world, and to discover, first hand, their phenomenal talent and empathy.."

It was the producer Leon who decided to not put the track "The Last Thing" on the first edition of the album.[8][9]

Hogarth said in The Web UK Magazine 1996 about each track:
