Notes: Also available in a 3-pack with Asia: LIVE IN MOSCOW 1990 and Jon Anderson: THE MORE YOU KNOW. TALES FROM THE ENGINE ROOM is dance remix by The Positive Light (Mark Daghorn and Marc Mitchell) of Marillion's THIS STRANGE ENGINE album. Marillion teams up with U.K. dance band the Positive Light to produce a remix album of tracks from the 1997 album This Strange Engine. Although the album breathes new life into a fairly weak release, it will appeal to techno-dance fans far more than Marillion aficionados. 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). ~ Dale Jensen

In the early 1980s, an era dominated by fluffy synth-pop, Marillion stood apart from the pack, with a sound heavily influenced by '70s prog rock. In particular, the band's singer, Fish, had a vocal and visual style strikingly similar to that of Peter Gabriel. Leading the charge of neo-prog into the '80s (alongside Pallas, Pendragon, IQ, et al.), Marillion struck a blow for old-school rock values. After Fish departed, Steve Hogarth came aboard, and instead of falling apart without the former's dynamic presence, the band continued to flourish both musically and commercially.
