"Ayreon Number 7

Alright. Kept you in suspense for a bit I suppose, but here is some news on the new Ayreon album (currently referred to as Ayreon Number 7).

As you may have read in the interview Arjen gave a few months ago, Arjen initially wanted to release a compact 1 CD album and add a sort of bonus CD for the die hard fans.

But since the interview Arjen has had tremendous amounts of inspiration (no doubt with a little help from the caring fans who sent emails and stuff, thanks!) so he found his muse and wrote and wrote and wrote (or rather composed, composed, and composed).

Last week Arjen put the finishing touches on the demos and the new Ayreon album is set to be a double album with 15 tracks clocking in at about 100 minutes (you do the math ;-)).

As far as vocalists are concerned there will be quite a few of them. A number of 'lines' have already been thrown out, both by Arjen and the record label, and we've had a few serious bites already. But it's going to be quite a puzzle to figure out who sings where, when, how, etc.

Drums will be recorded soon by Ed Warby, and I'll certainly let you know how that went.

I'm not saying anything about the concept yet, but it's taking serious shape already."

	Sweeeeeeet news. If it's at least similar to THE quality, it may well be album-of-the-year for 2007 (I'm hoping and praying it comes out at the end of this year, but I guess it might release in early 2008).
