In den letzten paar Wochen hat Arjen Lucassen immer wieder einzelne Details über das kommende Ayreon Album, “The Theory of Everything” enthüllt. Jetzt ist es offiziell. Das Album wird am 25. Oktober 2013 veröffentlicht und das gesamte Tracklisting, sowie Details zu den Gastmusikern, die sich auf der neuen Platte wiederfinden, seht ihr unten.
| Zitat Arjen hat Folgendes über das Albums zu sagen: With four long epics of more than 20 minutes and loads of instrumental passages, this is probably my most proggy release so far. I'm extremely proud of the eclectic list of guest musicians spanning several decades; many dreams have come true this time. There's also a completely new story line to delve into, a drama exploring the complicated world of science and human emotions. My advice? Sit back, relax, headphones on, and let this album take you on a musical adventure! |
