The reissue will be released as a deluxe edition, equipped with 4 CDs and a Blu-ray in a mediabook. The set includes a remixed and remastered version of the original studio album, a previously unreleased recording of the band's 1997 performance in Grand Rapids, B-sides and bonus tracks, as well as a lovingly illustrated booklet with rare photos, new artwork, memorabilia and an essay that delves deep into the history of the album. The Blu-ray contains the album in hi-res, jam sessions and early versions of the album tracks, a "This Strange Engine" documentary, a "Live In Utrecht" bootleg concert recording and promo videos from the time of the album's release. Reviews "This Strange Engine" is certainly one of Marillion's musically finest recordings. The band's musical breadth ranges from progressive rock to melodic pop […] Really something for Marillion freaks!" (Rock It, November/December 2024)
