1967/ 1976
This is not a new Ayreon album. It contains unreleased version of known ayreon songs, home demo's & newly recorded song, sung by different singers. (from back cover of album). The last track is a Ambeon (new Arjen Lucassen band) track.

And I stop my review. No, because I've other words...

Ok. I must say that this CD please me. But not convincing me. Or bette ... Convince me but... This CD don't like me. Simple, right? Oh my God, no.

I'll try to explain, because obviously I'm confused too. The songs are good. Not good are the female vocals parts. Why make the music too gooey.The music is, also, too melodic, in the way of Neo Prog and Metal is only a phantom wafting in the air and rhythms that Arjen inserted in the songs. In other words this album is indicated more for open minded Progsters that for Metallers.

But if you search good (or great) music Ayreon is a good band.
