Brown returned to England in 1996. In 1997, he re-recorded "Fire" with German band [[Die Krupps]], while in 1998, he provided a spoken-word performance on [[Bruce Dickinson]]'s ''[[The Chemical Wedding (Bruce Dickinson album)|The Chemical Wedding]]'' album, reading a portion of three poems by [[William Blake]], and appeared as Satan in Dickinson's music video for "Killing Floor".

A further change of musical direction occurred, when he formed an acoustic band and went on tour with [[Tim Rose]] in 1999. This band then added Stan Adler (cello and bass) and [[Malcolm Mortimore]] (percussion) and produced the album ''Tantric Lover'' (2000). However, the lineup did not last, and Brown put a new band together with guitarist Rikki Patten and multi-instrumentalist [[Nick Pynn]]. In 2002, Brown was asked to support [[Robert Plant]] on his Dreamland Tour. By now Patten had been replaced by guitarist Chris Bryant. Brown was getting some more media exposure now. His band was briefly called the Giant Pocket Orchestra, and also Instant Flight. In the middle of this, in 2003, Brown released ''Vampire Suite'' (2003), an album with Josh Philips and [[Mark Brzezicki]] of the band [[Big Country]], released on Ian Grant's [[Track Records]].<ref name="18HOI">{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/vampire-suite-mw0000321481|title=Vampire Suite – Arthur Brown – Songs, Reviews, Credits|website=AllMusic|access-date=18 June 2019}}</ref> Also around this time, Brown's back catalogue was re-released by [[Sanctuary Records]].{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}
