• Ayreon is the highly acclaimed project from singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist / record producer Arjen Lucassen.
• The first two Ayreon albums The Final Experiment and Actual Fantasy Revisited have never been released on vinyl.
• The Final Experiment is an intricate sci-fi/fantasy storytelling and timeless progressive rock and introduces several concepts which appear in future Ayreon albums, such as humanity's propensity for war, polluting earth's environment, or the gratuitous use of technology and computers in human society.
• Ayreon’s debut album features a line-up of world class vocalists and musicians, including Barry Hay (Golden Earring), Jan-Chris de Koeijer (Gorefest), Kingdom Come’s Lenny Wolf, Stream of Passion’s Marcela Bovio, and ex-Vengeance singers Ian Parry and Leon Goewie.
