Might check them out on Qobuz. Any recommendations of where to start?

I accidentally started with ‘into the electric castle’ and am working out both ways from that, it is an amazing piece of work, but there are quite a number of pieces to choose from, enjoy!

There are quite varied styles.

I like these more recent offerings and am working backwards.

Transitus (especially if you like Tom Baker’s voice):

Then there’s a whole back catalogue.

Try some of the videos on YouTube.

Just wait until 7’20":

This is YouTube’s fault…!

Ayreon’s Comatose - superb cover by The Gentle Storm -

People have commented before on the uncanny ability that Anneke and Marcela have, to harmonise.
Well, I will leave you to judge… :slightly_smiling_face:

Some actual Ayreon, for today. From Actual Fantasy (the 2nd Ayreon project album) - Computer Eyes.

A beautiful bit of guitar to start with (from Marcel Coenen), followed by some male harmony vocals (for a change… lols).
