Marillion have announced they will release a new deluxe edition of This Strange Engine through Racket Records and earMusic on November 22. The new edition is now available to pre-order (see below). You can listen to a new 2024 mix of Man Of A Thousand Faces below.
The album will be released as a five-disc (4 CDs and one Blu-ray) version or as a 5LP 180gram vinyl box set. Both sets include a version of the original studio album newly mixed and mastered, a previously unreleased complete recording of the band's 1997 performance in Grand Rapids.
The bonus Blu-ray, which is included in the media book, contains the album in hi-res, jam sessions an early versions of the album tracks, a This Strange Engine documentary, Live In Utrecht bootleg concert video and promo videos from the time of the album release.
The set is accompanied by illustrated booklets containing rare photos, new artwork, memorabilia and an essay that’s digging deep into the album’s story from Prog writer Rich Wilson.
Originally released in 1997, Marillion's ninth album, their fifth with Steve Hogarth , was the first of the three recordings that Marillion made under contract with Castle Communications, having been dropped by EMI back in 1995. The band would release three albums for the label (also 1998's Radiation and 1999's marillion.com ) before hitting on their crowdfunding idea for 2001's Anoraknophobia .
