Topic: New Ayreon Album "The Theory of Everything" Posted: September 11 2013 at 12:37 |
Courtesy of Inside Out Music Facebook page:
For the past couple of weeks, Arjen Lucassen has been slowly revealing details of the forthcoming Ayreon album "The Theory of Everything". Now it can be announced the album will be released on the 28th October and a full track-listing can be found below. Arjen had this to say about the album: 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! CD1 : PHASE I: SINGULARITY (23:29) 1 Prologue: The Blackboard 2 The Theory of Everything part 1 3 Patterns 4 The Prodigy’s World 5 The Teacher’s Discovery 6 Love and Envy 7 Progressive Waves 8 The Gift 9 The Eleventh Dimension 10 Inertia 11 The Theory of Everything part 2 PHASE II: SYMMETRY (21:31) 12 The Consultation 13 Diagnosis 14 The Argument 1 15The Rival’s Dilemma 16 Surface Tension 17A Reason To Live 18 Potential 19 Quantum Chaos 20 Dark Medicine 21 Alive! 22 The Prediction CD2: PHASE III: ENTANGLEMENT (22:34) 1 Fluctuations 2 Transformation 3 Collision 4 Side Effects 5 Frequency Modulation 6 Magnetism 7 Quid Pro Quo 8 String Theory 9 Fortune? PHASE IV: UNIFICATION (22:20) 10 Mirror Of Dreams 11 The Lighthouse 12 The Argument 2 13 The Parting 14 The Visitation 15 The Breakthrough 16 The Note 17 The Uncertainty Principle 18 Dark Energy 19 The Theory of Everything part 3 20 The Blackboard (reprise) "The Theory Of Everything" will feature guest appearances by the following musicians: * Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH) * Keith Emerson (EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER) * Janne "JB" Christoffersson (GRAND MAGUS) * Rick Wakeman (YES) * Cristina Scabbia (LACUNA COIL) * Jordan Rudess (DREAM THEATER) * Michael Mills (TOEHIDER) * Steve Hackett (GENESIS) * John Wetton (ASIA, KING CRIMSON) * Sara Squadrani (ANCIENT BARDS) * Tommy Karevik (KAMELOT, SEVENTH WONDER) * Troy Donockley (BAD SHEPHERDS, NIGHTWISH) |

There's been a thread about this very topic going on for several months already. At this moment, it is the very last topic on the first page of this same "News" section from the forum.

Gotta get it!!!!!!!!!!!
Now he’s confirmed: “It begins a completely new storyline for the Ayreon universe. It’s a true rock opera with a dramatic real-world story in four 20-minute-plus epics divided into 42 separate tracks.” The Theory Of Everything is set for release on October 28.

Posted on YouTube today by InsideOutMusicTV...This is an extract from the 20-plus minute track, "Phase 1: Singularity." It combines The Theory of Everything parts 1 and 2, and features vocals by Michael Mills as the Father, and Cristina Scabbia as the Mother. The piano was played by Rick Wakeman:

Unfortunately it's not properly prog, but if you like Cristina Scabbia as singer, you may give a try to Lacuna Coil.
