It is the first out of three discs the band released on [[Castle Records]], having been dismissed by [[EMI]] after [[Afraid of Sunlight (Album)|Afraid of Sunlight]] ([[1995]]). The first single released from this record was "Man Of A Thousand Faces", the opener on the album. A [[music video]] was also released of this track. The second single from the album was "80 Days". The song "[[Estonia (song)|Estonia]]" was written after singer Steve Hogarth met Paul Barney, the only British survivor from the accident where the passenger ferry [[M/S Estonia|Estonia]] sank in the [[Baltic Sea]] in September 1994, killing 852 people. ==Track listing== # "Man Of A Thousand Faces" – 7:33 # "One Fine Day" – 5:31 # "80 Days" – 5:00 # "Estonia" – 7:56 # "Memory Of Water" – 3:01 # "An Accidental Man" – 6:12 # "Hope For The Future" – 5:10 # "This Strange Engine" – 15:36 # "Beautiful [Acoustic]" - 11:49 # "80 Days [Acoustic]" - 5:39 ==External links== * [http://www.marillion.com/music/albums/tse.htm Album Information] {{mar}} [[Category:Marillion albums]] [[Category:1997 albums]] [[it:This Strange Engine]] [[ka:This Strange Engine (ალბომი)]] [[no:This Strange Engine]] [[pl:This Strange Engine]] [[fi:This Strange Engine]]
