		The result was This Strange Engine, an album which's art direction and design was taken care of by Hugh Gilmour, who used Andrew Gent's engine design for the work.
		Rather awkwardly, This Strange Engine wasn't released until after the tour, due to bad decision making from the band's record label Castle Communications (through which the band's Intact Records was run), so that the record wasn't released until October 7, 1997, although it managed to become a Top 30 release in the UK after that.
		By the coming of June, the album had been finished and was sent to Nick Davis at The Forge for the mixing of the most commercial songs on the album, with the rest of the mix to take place at the Racket Club through the use of a recently acquired digital mixing console.

	MARILLION This Strange Engine review by landberkdoten(Alberto Ramos)
		Determinant album to understand most of the changes MARILLION suffered in the years to come regarding its self-committed instrumentation, pure composition and resources implementation.
		"This Strange Engine" is in the middle of all those changes experienced, beholding the prog scene quite nervously.
		MARILLION was touring North America under the self-titled recently released album, and that day, the band commanded by Kendal's "favorite" presented its show at one of the most important stages in Mexico City.

	CD review of Marillion -- This Strange Engine
		Sadly, some albums suffer from comparison, and this is an example.
		There's really nothing major wrong with this 1997 release, but it had the misfortune to be released after the epic "Afraid of Sunlight" (truly brilliant, makes my top ten list of all time) and concurrent with Fish's "Sunsets on Empire", easily the best release of the year.
		Marillion has REALLY toned down the sound on this album -- with the exception of a rollicking "Hope for the Future" and the lengthy title track, Steve Rothery apparently hasn't been paying the power bill, result being a mostly acoustic album.

	Marillion -- This Strange Tour - 9/1/97 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Even though the album is only available in the States as an import at this time, everyone mouthed the words as Hogarth belted them out.
		The next songs on the set list were "Man of a Thousand Faces" from "This Strange Engine", "Easter", Hogarth's self-described favorite song (see the interview, this issue) and one of my personal favorites, the ultra-high powered "This Town" from "Holidays in Eden".
		The title track from their new album, "This Strange Engine" is one of the most incredibly powerful and moving songs I have ever heard.

	Marillion reviews and interviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The album as a whole features some brilliant guitar solos and rhythm work by Steve Rothery and the vocals by Hogarth are really good.
		This album made me a believer in Marillion with Hogarth, and if you were a skeptic like me, I highly recommend this release.
		Throughout the album, the keyboard is rich and loud in the present and the guitar work is choppy and truncated, both of which make for a great combination.

	Marillion - This Strange Engine
		In general it seems that on this album Kelly is more on the upper hand than on earlier releases (I once heard that some people felt that Rothery was the one thing making Marillion worth listening to).
		This album however is more by Hogarth and Kelly and this might very well be because Rothery has been busy with solo work.
		The autobiographical This Strange Engine is the track most people have been looking forward too and they have not done so for nothing.

	MARILLION Marillion and the Positive Light - Tales from the Engine Room review by Easy Livin(Bob McBeath)
		The original album being one of the band’s more progressive albums, the choice at first seems rather odd.
		The main difference between this album and the Yes and ELP reworks is that here the tracks are more faithful to their original counterparts.
		This album will not be everybody's cup of tea I grant you, especially many of the devotees of this website (for obvious reasons!).

	Marillion "This Strange Engine" Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In 1997 Marillion released "This Strange Engine" in Europe and began to tour in support of it.
		The plan was that by the time they got to the US the album would have also been released here.
		A couple months later "This Strange Engine" was finally released in the US but the band was already back in Europe.

	AMZ -- September, 1998 -- Marillion
		Recorded exclusively for Marillion's own Racket Records label, "Piston Broke" is a double CD encompassing a complete live performance from the "This Strange Engine" tour.
		The set list is mostly culled from the last three albums and features many tracks never before released on a live recording.
		The set opens with "Man of 1000 Faces," the opener on "This Strange Engine." I have always loved the way this song works its way from a relatively mellow start to a climactic (grandiose?) finish, complete with Boys Choir.

	MARILLION This Strange Engine review by The Crow(José Antonio García-Ramos)
		The rock face of Marillion is very softed in "This Strange Engine", and we only can hear stronger sounds in An Accidental Man and some fragments of This Strange Engine.
		Most of the songs of this album are not progressive, but it doesn't matters, because most of the songs have quality, and this is the most important thing.
		The only bad track in this album is my opinion is Hope for the Future, a silly track that really doesn't fit with the rest of the album...

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Marillion.com
		I noticed the shift on their last album, Radiation, but it didn't really register with me that something was happening.
		In that regard, however, all is not lost; the album's closer, "House," gives the band a chance to stretch things out and return things (at least in some people's eyes, like mine) to a sense of normalcy.
		In the case of this album, though, I didn't find myself getting sucked into the music like before; in turn, it was easy for me to find myself losing interest in the songs, to the point where I'd end up starting the whole album over because I couldn't remember the last track or two.

	MARILLION discography, MP3 and reviews
		The third studio album, "Misplaced Chilhood", was a true concept album and placed MARILLION among the greats.
		The album, dealing with the problems of drug addiction and alcoholism, was the final album to be made with Fish as front man and lyricist.
		Their album "Brave", considered one of the modern masterpieces of progressive rock, is a concept piece about a young girl that contemplates suicide on a bridge.

	[No title]
		Its albums have ranged from the uplifting (1985's masterpiece "Misplaced Childhood") to the intensely depressing (1994's excellent "Brave"), and within its albums the band has explored musical styles from poppy (1992's "Holidays in Eden") to progressive (1984's amazing "Fugazi").
		However, as is always the case with the band, the album as a whole is the focus, and the poppier songs are counteracted with more thoughtful, diverse and introspective numbers.
		Within the song "This Strange Engine," for example, he uses a piano, a Hammond Organ, string synths, Moog leads and even a Bell voice.

	Rush : All the World's a Stage (Bonus Track) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The '70s may forever be remembered as the decade of the "live album," where many rock artists (Kiss, Peter Frampton, Cheap Trick, etc.) used the format for their commercial breakthrough.
		While Rush's All the World's a Stage is not as renowned as the aforementioned band's live albums, it is still one of the better in-concert rock releases of the decade, and helped solidify the trio's stature as one of rock's fastest rising stars.
		All the World's a Stage was a fitting way of closing the first chapter of Rush, as the liner notes state.

	Interview with Steve Rothery of Marillion
		I had an opportunity recently to speak with Steve Rothery, the guitarist with Marillion, about their new album This Strange Engine, and future plans.
		I think when it come to ideas for the Marillion album, we are constantly finding new ways to express ourselves without trying to cashing in whatever the current trend is. It's just you trying not to repeat yourself.
		I think our next album could be the strongest we do, combining all our respective strengths, but it's all speculation until we get together in the room and write.

		The album mix of the track is said to be more in line with Korn's usual style.
		The album -- produced by Michael Beinhorn and Marilyn Manson -- is tentatively due in September now, with a U.S. tour tentatively in October.
		Sinner has completed recordings on their new album "The Nature of Evil." It is scheduled for release on July 13.

	Band History - de geschiedenis van Marillion - Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Steve's first album with Marillion, Season's End, was released in 1989, and it was to be the last real musical link with their past.
		It was then that the EMI deal was up, and the band formed their own "Intact" label, signed it to Castle Communications and simply carried on in 1997 with This Strange Engine, an album which dwells on Hogarth's family history with the sea, and with sailing and travel.
		In the present day, EMI have taken a new interest in Marillion and are reissuing their albums, with the help of the band who have been writing sleeve notes and consulting with a friend at the company over bonus tracks and presentation.

		The album starts with the slow-ish, reggae-influenced "Ride Away," but thankfully picks it up with the second song "Pacifying Joint," which is one of the best songs on the album.
		Boston band Righteous Jams' latest album brought me back to the 80's when it sometimes felt like there were X'd hands everywhere.
		This is a re-release of their first album, previously published by Lookout Records and taken back by Ben Weasel in his 2004 falling out with the label.

	Untitled Document
		With This Strange Engine, Marillion attempted to send its grand mammoths of adventure right into the treacherous fields of commerciality, and fell flat on its face while doing so.
		Luckily not, as the band's next album, Radiation, set it on the right path again, although this was most certainly a near-death experience.
		By then all is lost, and not even the album's only hint at progressive, "This Strange Engine," manages to rescue Marillion from the edge of aural self-destruction, an unfortunate situation that is not helped by the fact that the aforementioned track lacks the necessary focus to remain constantly interesting during its entire duration.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY MARCEL HASTER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The feeling I get when listening to Marbles is a mixture of Brave and This Strange Engine, specifically the atmosphere in songs like "One Fine Day" and "This Strange Engine." So after a few questionable albums (Radiation, Marillion.com), Marillion are back with their 13th studio album, and...
		Despite the very obvious electronic beat in the song, there are still enough elements in the song to keep it interesting and might appeal to the pop generation, who then can get in touch with the wonderful world of progressive rock.
		Marillion is truly back, with one of their best albums to date, a balanced, atmospherical album, an album to be proud of.

	This Strange Engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This Strange Engine is the first disc released on Marillion's new label, Castle Records.
		This album received good critiques from several journalists and the fans were delighted to see that the band would continue to release studio albums even when they were short on funds.
		The song Estonia also deserves special mention, as it was written after singer Steve Hogarth met the only British survivor from the accident where the passenger ferry Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea in September 1994, killing 852 people.

	Marillion - This Strange Engine
		That was the album that got me really excited to hear the next one.......which disappointed me. (that was Radiation) Then when I heard.com, I almost gave up on the band completely.
		Estonia and This Strange Engine are great songs and the rest of the cd is great as well.
		The album - as always - was quite different from its predecessor and from the next one.

	Marillion: Tales from the Engine Room (Eagle Records, 1998.09.29) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The remix of "Memory of Water" was a minor dance club hit in Europe, prompting the general release of the album (the initial release was privately labeled).
		But while there are some great songs on the original 'This Strange Engine' it's still not my favourite Marillion album so this CD seemed worth investing in if just for curiosity's sake.
		This Strange Engine, the best track, is one of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard.

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : This Strange Engine
		Not having the money to buy both albums (and, at the time, being too chicken to try out a group I had never heard), I left it in the bins to collect dust.
		If this weren't enough, Marillion manages to change tempo and style so smoothly that if you blinked, you probably missed the change; the multi-tracked vocals on this one just must be heard.
		The title track could easily have been two or three songs by themselves, and the band is kind enough to provide short breaks in between movements to signal the style change.

	Radiation (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A self-produced effort, the band set out to make a quick album due to money and time limits and this somewhat shows on the album.
		The only single from this album is "These Chains".
		As Marillion's tenth studio album, the number 10 can be seen in the "io" in both "Marillion" and "Radiation" on the cover.

		album, since they are my favourite band and that the final verdict will be buy this album, but
		Marillion have always known the value of dynamics in their compositions, the value of a well placed solo, the power of a dramatic moment, and this album is no different.
		There isn't a bum track, or even any filler...this is a solid album, that very few will hear (at least in the US).

	Album: Tales from the Engine Room
		So, we approached the band's management and eventually a meeting was arranged between the band and I to discuss remixing `This Strange Engine´ instead of `Afraid of Sunlight´ as they were working on TSE at the time and had just changed labels.
		During this mix, Hong Kong was handed back to China - it was a strange feeling watching the news footage of tanks rolling in to Hon Kong whilst we were working on a song about ideals, dreams and changing the world...
		It felt abit strange not being there for the last track which, after four attempts, mutated into "Face 1004" - the lack of vocals on it doesn't indicate any disrespect for the original - we just wanted something a little different.
