Fabulous.......2006-09-30

This is an amazingly good album.

Yes, it has echoes of Pink Floyd, but also of Mike Oldfield, and--most significantly--the Beatles.

It is wonderfully varied. There are lots of different vocalists, male and female, and lots of different tempi and moods.

I didn't really follow the story line (though I like the narration), but the music itself was gorgeous and involving.

There is also a really nice balance of instruments: at times, blistering guitars, sometimes soaring synths, and very often (and most Beatlish) great orchestral accompaniments.

What is most amazing is how different this CD is from Pt.II (Flight of the Migrator).

This one has ever-changing diversity and sweetness alternating with harshness, so that each complements the other.

Pt. II (Migrator) alas, is one long uninterrupted thrash-guitar speed-fest, with relentlessly screaming male vocals. Pt. II is strictly for 13-year-old males.

Avoid Pt. II, and stick with this one. A triumph!

WOW.......2005-12-30

I am siting here listining to this wonderful CD, this is a classic and should be in everybody's cd collection. Arjen Lucassen weaves a great tale and all the tracks are good, but my favs would have to be My House On Mars, And The Druid Turns To Stone. Bieng older in years and a teenager when Pink Floyd made Dark Side Of The Moon. It is good to now there is still some great talent out there, the range of music and the playing are superb. And to the reviwers who don't like this go listen to some other crap, and leave the good stuff to those with an ear for good music.
So buy this now and then get the rest of there CD's especially Human Equation.

A journey to the future with visions from the past.......2005-09-07

Let me start by saying that this is a very good album, but it takes time to really enjoy it's substance.

My first impression was that of a little dissapointment. I am used to this, because now and then I miss the point of some great albums only to find later that I had missed a masterpiece. This time however I was very quick to "find the point" in The Dream Sequencer.

By the second time I've listened to the album, melodies started to catch as if I was used to them since a long time. It is a kind of magic when that little thing begins to happen, and you start to antecipate what chord progressions or change in beat will occurs next in an almost unknown song. This is a kind of thing that happens all the time when I am listening to classical music, but not as often in metal or progressive music.

It is not Dream Theater, it is not Symphony X, and it's not Pink Floyd (which is a good thing!), NO, it's another kind of thing entirely. It is progressive, it moves in a calm, slow pace. I regard it as more similar to Vangelis solo works than prog-rock/metal bands. Vangelis with a twist. And a good one.

I really didn't imagine myself listening (and enjoying ) this kind of singular music before I had the opportunity to listen to Ayreon: The Dream Sequencer.

DO I HAVE TO GIVE IT 1 STAR?.......2005-01-30

WHAT A LOAD OF PURE REGRESSIVE DRECK THIS IS ...PINK FLOYD COPIES???? NOT EVEN CLOSE. SOUNDS LIKE CHURCH MUSIC WITH BAD SYNTHESIZERS. I WOULDN'T EVEN PUNISH MY WORST ENEMY BY MAKING HIM LISTEN TO THIS CRAP
