The Brave Deluxe Edition will also come with illustrated booklets describing the story behind the sonic experiments that led to the album’s atmospherics.

The live performance from Paris originally featured on Marillion’s 1996 album Made Again, but has been newly mixed by Michael Hunter.

It features bonus tracks Cover My Eyes (Pain and Heaven), Slàinte Mhath, No One Can, Sympathy, Easter, Garden Party, Waiting To Happen, Hooks In You and The Space.
