What do you think of the full mp3 on http://www.streamofpassion.com/ ?

For me, I wasn't impressed by first listening (too little melody, I'm used to more at Arjen's projects), but it is 'growing' now. The voice of Marcela Bovio is so beautiful.

Yes, that sounds interesting. I'm not a big fan of most of the Ayreon stuff but I do like a good female vocalist and they're quite scarce in the prog-world. Will give it a try I think - it's only money, after all  ;D

Just finished listening to the track "Deciever" from the forthcoming album of Stream of Passion. It sounds very promising. I wasn't really impressed with the singing qualities of Marcela Bovio when i heard her on "the Human Equation", but it seems she's totally in place here, doing an excellent job.
I think i'll order me a copy...  :) :)

I listened to all the soundsamples, but I can't say I like it as much as the ayreon/ambeon/Star one sounds. Perhaps it needs some "get used to".

Love Arjen's work.  Love Clive's contributions also.  A particular lean towards Castle and Universal Migrator.  Lana Lane's voice on 2094(I think thats the name) and Dragon on the Sea is stunning and one of the morebeautiful songs I've heard.  Many great moments.

the Human Equation I liked also but gave it away as a spontaneous gift before I could really get to know it.  Itseemed kind of more of the same and more melancholy.  The dark.  But that;s ok.

THE is imo a more allround album like TFE and ItEC, where as in the UM albums Arjen's Softer and Heavier style are split. THE is more extremer concerning the styles. The heavy is heavier, the folky is folkier etc. (IMHO that is ;))

I've resently heard music from Ayreon for the first time. It was from The Human Equation. There were many parts that I liked, but that isn't too difficult on an album with so many different styles. There are also a few parts that I don't like, for example the instrumental 'spacy' parts and the 'rammstein-like screaming.' I like the way LaBrie sounds on it, but I prefer Dream Theater
''I'm a million times removed, from the socially closed world.''
I can imagine, that wouldn't be too nice.

Actual Fantasy is imo somewhat 'strange' since it's not a real rock-opera, no story and 'fixed' singers. Still I think it's a very good album, though the song at the end of the album don't reallly get me. Computer eyes sung by Edward Reekers (reallly warm voice) is my favourite of the album, and one of my Ayreon alltime Fav's.
My favourite song was Beyond the last horizon of the actual fantasy album, but in fact I liked the "Ayreonauts Only" version better. But I like the bombastic albums more like "Into the electric castle" and "the Final experiment", The human equation is still not my favourite, in a way I still don't play it in my stereo, maybe not interesting enough maybe it will come later as sometimes does.
Walk along the Waterfall, watching as the world turns red
Wonder where the river flows, and the blood on the River bed
Poison lies to close to us, Reach across the salt and Sand

Ayreon are superb, and I really like and play all of the albums, though I must say that if I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be Into The Electric Castle with The Human Equation very close behind it.

Here's some useless, but fun info:

In a poll on the Ayreon-forum the question has been asked to choose between Clive or Rene Merkelbach. At the moment Clive is leading 5 to 1 8)
