H. P. L. Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Arjen Lukassen had done it again. Another heart-warming masterpiece. Take due note and do the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I am not much for pretense and consider myself a fairly deep thinker, but I personally I didn't get it. Please would somebody out there explain to me the deeper meaning of what I just saw. I kind of expected "Wreckers" to start up at any moment....... H.P.L, anyone, please help. Maybe it's one of those things that you either get or you don't? I will watch it again with some explanation.... :codger: Thanks in advance Edited October 31, 2013 by Narpet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 This post is just about the new Ayreon album, mate. And that in the video is the cover art set to one of the songs. Nothing more than that.There are some Ayreon fans here. And everyone who likes classic prog rock should be all over this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just a middle aged man who still thinks for the most part that there hasn't been any new music made since about 1985.

You'd be surprised how much interesting music is out there, swept along in an ocean of useless garbage. Sometimes it's tiring. But anyways, Ayreon has been around for decades...A little treat? The piano solo in this song is played by a certain Rick Wakeman.Other guests go by the names of John Wetton, Keith Emerson, Steve Hackett... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read the names at the bottom of your post, goosebumps came over me. Huge Yes and Wakeman fan here. The others you listed are obviously well known names to me as well. I may have to poke my head out of this cave I have been living in and check this out. Thanks so much for the heads up. :codger: http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/37030871/Rick+Wakeman+WAKEMAN.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I am so lame with technology I will get my son to download or upload or whatever it's called this new release onto my phone. I could use something new to listen to during my workouts. I prefer to listen to longer pieces of music anyway when working out. Thanks again. :codger: I will invest some time and let you know how it turns out.

If it's longer pieces you want, this one is made up of 4 suites, each 20 minutes long, comprised by a total of friggin' 42 songs. It has to do with numerology and stuff. I'm still halfway through this, since I got it today, but so far I'm in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to hear beautiful music and really don't care how it's chopped up. I enjoy the Awaken, Close To Edge style pieces anyway. If this music is formed along those lines than I am relatively sure I would enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I've never listened to Ayreon before, but maybe I'll start with this album. Honestly, I've been kind of put off by all of the special guests/multiple vocalists thing because it seems kind of gimmicky to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. P. L. Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Another snippet with one of the album's best moments. Cristina and Sara duetting. Hooorraaayy for Italian Divas!!!! http://youtu.be/81gnoxcmQnc OK, it's a Mini Pony video, what can I do? Close your eyes and listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I am such a big fan of Cristina Scabbia and Lacuna Coil it ain't even funny! I am so eager to hear this album just so I can listen to this fantastic Italian woman duet with another lady! I'm saving myself for the album...I am also waiting for the money. This will be my first Ayreon release, so I am hoping its worth the hype! Oh my days...I met Cristina Scabbia last year and she is one of the (shortest) most beautiful, humble and kind performers I have ever met, and she and her band simply make every concert a party, despite the rather serious nature of most of their music! Sorry I am digressing...how good is this album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Finally decided to buy it. Wow! This is so strange! It reminds me strongly of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds. Thats a good thing! Oh and Cristina Scabbia...so glad she blends in so comfortably amongst all these other greats! I am loving it. Members of Dream Theater, Lacuna Coil, Yes and Nightwish on one album? How could I not love this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
