Courtesy of Inside Out Music Facebook page: For the past couple of weeks, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Arjen-Anthony-Lucassen/109455032405878?directed_target_id=0" rel="nofollow - Arjen Lucassen has been slowly revealing details of the forthcoming https://www.facebook.com/ArjenLucassenOfficial?directed_target_id=0" rel="nofollow - 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!

Unfortunately it's not properly prog, but if you like Cristina Scabbia as singer, you may give a try to Lacuna Coil. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |
