NEW KSCOPE 2LP VINYL EDITION OF 1997 TOP 30 ALBUM ‘THIS STRANGE ENGINE’ "Atmospheric, melodic music that played to all of that band’s strengths… Marillion’s finest album of the las t 15 years" - Classic Rock Marillion formed in 1979 and have sold over 15 million albums worldwide. Rightly regarded as legends of progressive rock, the band have continued to evolve and have been keen to embrace the possibilities of the internet, using innovative ways to interact with listeners resulting in an incredibly loyal legion of fans around the world. Originally released in 1997, ‘This Strange Engine’ was a top 30 hit in the UK and reached #10 in the NL album charts. The album features the singles "Man Of A Thousand Faces" and "80 Days" and shows the band exploring a revitalized sound featuring more acoustic elements. ‘This Strange Engine’ is the first of three recordings that Marillion made on a contract with Castle between departing EMI in 1995 and eventually going independent in 2000. Widely regarded as one of the most well produced Marillion albums, it finds the band in transition, ditching some of the lengthier compositions of previous albums in favour of a more succinct, commercial sound. Now, Kscope are proud to present ‘This Strange Engine’ on 2LP out 27th August 2021 Show more
