== Political activism ==
The 17-minute opening track, "Gaza", is perhaps the most overtly political song Marillion have done since 1989. Its lyrics take the perspective of a boy growing up in the [[Israeli-occupied territories|Israeli-occupied]] [[Gaza Strip]]. Singer [[Steve Hogarth]] explained,
Like [[David Gilmour]], [[Roger Waters]], [[Chris Martin]] and others, Marillion support the "HOPING Foundation",<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hopingfoundation.org/ |title=Home |website=Hopingfoundation.org}}</ref> an NGO that supports Palestinian children and adolescents in the refugee camps, and encourage their fans to do the same.<ref>{{YouTube|Z5VKmyDEF6U}}</ref>
== Promotional activities ==
Like with several previous albums, Marillion used pre-ordering for ''Sounds That Can't Be Made'' to finance the album. In return, pre-order buyers received the special edition deluxe campaign edition box-set. The band had previously used the same approach successfully with the albums ''[[Anoraknophobia]]'' (2001), ''[[Marbles (album)|Marbles]]'' (2004) and ''[[Happiness Is the Road]]'' (2008).
Before the release of ''Sounds That Can't Be Made'', two promotional songs were released on [[YouTube]]: "Power" on 17 July 2012<ref>
== Cover ==
The cover was designed by Simon Ward. The artwork for the booklet was designed by five different artists, photographers and designers: Antonio Seijas, Simon Ward, Andy Wright, Marc Bessant and Carl Glover.<ref>
The binary data shown on the cover and the image on the box of the Deluxe Campaign Edition is taken from the [[Arecibo message]].
