Ayreon: Gravitation and reissue.

I must admit I`m a huge fan of Ayreon`s music and also Arjen Anthony Lucassen as a kind and nice person, and as a genius regarding music. He has joined forces with Bruce Dickinson on the new track Into The Black Hole. A black hole is a place in space where gravity, i.e. the force of gravity, is so great that not even light escapes. The beauty and cleverness on the song Black Hole escapes and hit the listeners ears in a very impressing way!

Ayreon will reissue a remixed and remastered Universal Migrator, Pt. I & 2 in November and the above mentioned song is from this reissue and will be released through Mascot Records on November 18.

«Into The Black Hole is one of my personal favorite songs on the Flight Of The Migrator album», says Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen. «Particularly because of the amazing vocal performance of the mighty Bruce Dickinson. It was a true honor and pleasure for me to record one of my favorite singers of all time in my studio. I love that his singing in this track is so different from the (often faster) Iron Maiden material. If you listen well, you can hear that in this remixed version, I used some vocal lines that I didn’t use in the original version. Have fun exploring! «.

Originally released simultaneously as Universal Migrator Pt 1: The Dream Sequencer And Universal Migrator Pt 2: Flight Of The Migrator in 2000, The Dream Sequencer continues the plot from 1995’s The Final Experiment, starting in the year 2084 when the final world war wiped out all life on Earth. Flight Of The Migrator continues the story of the last living human being, the colonist on Mars and his decision to use the Dream Sequencer machine to travel back to before the universe was formed.

The two albums feature an array of guest musicians and vocalists alongside Dickinson including Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Edward Reekers (Kayak), Damian Wilson (Headspace/Threshold), Neal Morse, Russell Allen (Symphony X), Andi Deris (Helloween), Michael Romeo (Symphony X) and more.
