Through various channels I discovered ‘Nightwish’ this year, this some how led me to ‘Ayreon’ and have just listened to Electric Castle all the way through on Spotify, my god the guys a genius imho, like Mike Oldfield on steroids. Any one else a fan?and if so further album recommendations are welcome!
Err… yes… a few Ayreonauts on here…!!
Recommendations - all of them. Sorry… But they are all good…
Then move on to Star One or The Gentle Storm… Or… almost any of Arjen’s various projects.
Warning - This Could Be Expensive For You…
PS. There was quite a bit of Ayreon discussion on this Nightwish thread…
But you may know that…
Thanks IRM, I’ll try them all I think, expensive eh?, never mind, it’s only money!!
Buy another Ayreon (your choice) plus the first Star One CD.
Star One is the (more) Metal version of Ayreon. Similar ‘cast’ of musicians - like Floor Jansen & others from After Forever and Stream of Passion…
Oh dear… After Forever… Stream of Passion…
Well, as a result of this thread I’ve just been listening to this. BRILLIANT!
Why have I never heard of this before…
I can see a large vinyl expenditure in my future
Me too young man, me too!
Ian’s correct all his stuff is excellent - he’s a big bloke too!!
He would be 6 foot 7 inches in the UK…
Floor Jansen has to look up to Arjen…!!
If he’s 6’ 7” in the UK, how tall is he everywhere else
In The Day That The World Breaks Down video he describes himself as “The tall hippie dude”
About 2,00 metres…
Except in the USA, when he is also 6ft7in…
Just thought i would letyou know I’ve just bought the bluray of this conert live and it is incredibly brilliant, the stage sets, the singing etc, if you can give it a try my friend!
Yeah, thats the one, if you haven’t already partaken I can highly recommend it!
I’ll get a copy after Christmas
I know you liked the streamed content so you’ll love the Blu-Ray
