Marillion This Strange Engine Limited Deluxe Vinyl 5LP Box Set
Overview:
The British rock band Marillion, known for their innovative soundscapes and profound lyrics, has significantly shaped the music world since their inception in the early 1980s. With their 2022 studio album “An Hour Before It’s Dark”, the band’s highest charting album across the globe (#2 in the UK and Germany, #6 Switzerland), Marillion have shown that they continue to stay as brilliant and vital as ever whilst consistently dodging categorization by crafting distinct, evocative music.
The band is very pleased to present a deluxe edition reissue of their 1997 studio album “This Strange Engine”. It is a remarkable album characterized by acoustic calm and intimacy whilst offering an atmospheric soundscape with delicate lyrics and gentle melodies. The album showcases Marillion's versatility and openness to different influences. Their ability to blend quiet and intense passages results in a dynamic listening experience. All in all, a genuine and engaging album, revealing new facets with each listen.
To be released as deluxe 4CD+Blu-ray media book and 5LP box-set editions, 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, and also accompanied by illustrated booklets containing rare photos, new artwork, memorabilia and an essay that’s digging deep into the album’s story. A must have collectible item for all progressive rock fans.
